S3, Ep : 6. Barcelona for sweet toothers.

Hey there, amigos, and welcome back to Spanish Loops!

If you joined us last week, you know we took a delicious walk through Madrid’s sweet tooth, pastries, churros, and more. Well, this week, we’re heading east to the Mediterranean breeze and Gothic vibes of Barcelona, where sugar meets tradition in the most irresistible way.

Barcelona’s sweets aren’t just desserts, they’re history you can taste. We virtually taste the panellets, those little almond and pinenuts bites that rule the city on All Saints’ Day, and the legacy of turrón that Catalonia claims as its own.

You’ll also discover how chocolate became a Barcelona obsession. This city didn’t just adopt it, it turned it into an art form! And, of course, we’ll talk about coca de Sant Joan, the festive pastry that lights up midsummer nights with sweet, colorful joy.

What makes Barcelona so special is how every sweet carries a story: a festival, a season, a family recipe passed down through generations. In this episode, we’ll share where you can find the best bites today, while peeling back the history that shaped them.

So, whether you’ve got a sweet tooth or just love cultural traditions, this chapter is for you. Put the kettle on, grab a spoon, or maybe a fork and let us take you through the sweet side of Barcelona.

Spanish Loops are ready to roll… are you?
