Coming out of Passatge Sert on the Trafalgar side and it’s hard to miss the royal blue awnings of Talisman. Tall ceilings give away to a polished bar that recalls the Blue Bar at New York’s Algonquin Hotel. “Cocktail hour” meets “bistro chic” here, with Mediterranean-inspired dishes, Spanish and Catalan tapas, over 70 wines from 10 different countries, as well as 15 kinds of cava and champagne. In the evening, this classy space doubles as an intimate concert venue.

Streetlife: Passatge Sert
Steps away from Urquinaona is a narrow pedestrian pathway—a quiet oasis from the traffic of Trafalgar and tourists of the city center—that dates back to a 19th-century textile factory.
