Casa Gispert
Casa Gispert is a dried-fruit and nut merchant on Carrer dels Sombrerers in Barcelona's Born, trading since 1851 and still roasting on the premises in a wood-fired oven at the back of the shop.
Why it matters
Included because the wood-fired roasting oven is still in use behind the counter, which makes the shop a working example of a nineteenth-century retail interior rather than a reconstruction of one.
