Nou Casino de la Constancia
Most Catalan towns still have a casino—not somewhere you’ll lose your shirt, but a community social club where the food and drink are simple and affordable. This renovated neo-Mudéjar palace from 1888 is striking, with horseshoe arches and intricate sgraffito decoration. The food is basic, but if you’re on a tight budget, the three course lunchtime menu at 21€ might be a shrewd bet. If traditional fish stew or grilled butifarra sausage isn’t for you, consider stopping by for the architecture and a home-made dessert. The waitress may produce her blowtorch and glaze the top of your crema catalana right there.
