A new, just built this year, La Guingueta Beachside Bar & Restaurant in Barcelona, designed by Sandra Tarruella (Sandra Tarruella Interioristas). A new concept for a Tapas bar; adding freshness, warmth and giving the location a new addition.

The beach of Barcelona will have a totally new and refreshing bar, where Chef Carles Abellan, and his team, will prepare your food.
