The oldest grocery chain in Barcelona, it has two names – Lafuente and Colmado Quilez, so some branches go under one name and some under another. This is a family business so they respect traditions – no hiking the prices (even though their locations are very touristy), daily siesta (from 1 to 4 pm) and their own buy-and-pay system inside, which is confusing if you don’t speak Spanish – you choose, get a receipt and pay in three different places. But the purchase is worth it – get the perfect brie for just 1.5 euros. And everyone wonders how on earth they are still afloat with such prices.
