The Pumpkin Spice Latte is an iconic drink that has become hugely popular in Barcelona, thanks to its blend of autumn flavours like pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Available at numerous Starbucks locations across the city, this delicious drink evokes the warm, comforting sensations of autumn, making it a perfect choice to enjoy on a cool afternoon or to share with friends. If you haven’t tried it yet, don’t hesitate—it will help you appreciate the wonders of the autumn season even more.

You won’t miss this place—even from afar you’ll be tempted by the sweet scent of cinnamon, as Forno Bomba is famous for its cinnamon rolls.
