Ateneu Barcelonès

To do an itinerary about paradigmatic bars and restaurants in Barcelona we are obliged to mention the famous Ateneu Barcelonès. It has been a referent cultural institution since 1906 where a lot of intellectuals left their mark. It is located in the Savassona palace and this building has been a lot of functions during its history. We want to focus on the room where these habitual costumers used to talk about politics, art, and literature. Figures as Valentí Almirall, Lluís Domènech I Muntaner, Josep Pla, Pompeu Fabra, Josep Mª de Sagarra used to go to the denominated Sala de Converses with bar service. 

In this picture we can see Fidenci Kirchner, Enric Jardí, Eduard Ragasol, el doctor Rafael Dalí, Antoni Colomer Quim Borralleras, J. Barberà, Estanislau Duran-Reynals, Frances Camps Margarit, Josep Mª de Sagarra, Antoni Homar, Pompeu Fabra i A. Vilanova.

Something curious to know about this intellectual meeting are the three rules that the attendees have to follow; has sense of humour, don’t talk about self-profession and try to don’t be boring.
