You step off Carrer de la Princesa and the air takes on a kind of warm, cocoa-thick hum — a neighborhood of narrow streets, boutique chocolaterías and the occasional clatter of a nearby market. A local host leads the way, pointing out window displays of bonbons and the mossy stonework of El Born as you taste the city’s sweet lineage one stop at a time.
