Barcelona's 'Bubbly' Over 50 Spanish companies produce champagne. Look out for Gramona, Mestres and Torello labels. Catalan champagne is called cava, and champagne bars are known as xampanyerías. Most serve a limited selection of house cavas by the glass, brut or brut nature (brut is slightly sweeter), accompanied by tapas. Xampanyet (Address: Carrer Montcada 22), Xampanyería Casablanca and Xampú Xampany (Address: Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 702) are among the most popular.

Available from any news-stand, it gives full details (in Spanish) of film, theatre and musical events, and lists bars, restaurants and nightlife. Informatíu Musical and the monthly magazine Barcelona en Música, available free from tourist offices and record shops, are useful sources of concert information.
