Last week I had the opportunity to share lunch with Mr. Albert Bramona, Mr. Manel Casals and Eduard Bosch from the official Hotel Association in Barcelona. Going back to the office we passed by one of the oldest businesses in the city, "El Rey de La Magia", and Mr. Bramona explained to me some old stories around this place which I found highly interesting!
He told me that when he was a kid, everyone from Barcelona would come to this store to buy toys and other items for young children. Since its openning it became one of the most known stores in Barcelona.
As of today "El Rey de La Magia" is still open! If you go in you feel like you went back to the beginning of the 20th century!
Well, if you walk around the old city, you will see right in front of the oldest and most traditional stores a big plate on the ground to commemorate it is a centenarian business! They were given by the city hall to all business and stores who have maintained its business activity for the last 100 years!!!
Mi objective in this travel blog is to look for all these centenarian businesses in the city and share their stories with you! Don´t you think it is a great way to get to know the city and its history!???
Contratulations to all families who have managed to keep all these businesses up and running!!!
