New in Town: Café del Mar Lounge

When the first Café del Mar opened in Ibiza in 1980, it had one mission: to establish a properly ‘chilled-out’ environment to watch the sun set. Since then, the business concept has been applied in locations around the world, and now the same sunset scene has come to Barcelona. Located above the Maremagnum shopping centre, Café del Mar Lounge provides patrons with a bird’s-eye view of Port Vell and the city. The restaurant, specialising in Mediterranean cuisine, features mainly fish and seafood recipes, while live music and various acts create the ultra-cool feel of the lounge. Since its opening, soul and jazz singer Gigi McFarlane has performed, and Barcelona-born illusionist Carlos Fortuna has wowed guests with his tricks.
