The queues have already started for the year at the Gelateria Italiana by la Plaça de la Revolució in Gracia. This small ice cream shop has become a favorite in the last few years for many of Barcelona’s citizens, me included.

They have a lot of flavors to choose from and all ice creams are made with traditional methods and natural ingredients.
It is a classic in the afternoons and summer evenings to go to the Gelateria Italiana, take a number and wait in queue while you plan out what flavors you want; pistachio, lemon, melon, figs, meringue, yogurt, cinnamon, After Eight ?… And you ask yourself: Why don’t they make tubs of 20 different flavors? … After a while you get your ice cream and as always, it was worth the wait.

If you are really lucky, one of the tables on the terrace is free and you can sit down to eat your ice cream, but it´s more likely that you will eat it while you walk through Gracia, one of Barcelona’s busiest neighborhoods.
