This is probably one of the best ice cream shops in Barcelona. It opened its doors only a few years ago on Carrer de Sèneca, a quiet street tucked away in the heart of Gràcia. Since then, it has become a true local favorite and a benchmark for artisanal gelato in the city.
Paral·lelo Gelato was founded by three friends from Sanremo, Italy, who brought their passion for authentic Italian gelato to Barcelona. Their philosophy is simple: make everything from scratch using high-quality, seasonal ingredients, many of them sourced locally. From classic pistachio and hazelnut flavors to creative limited editions inspired by the Mediterranean landscape, every scoop reflects their commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.
What started as a small gelateria on Carrer de Sèneca in 2017 has grown into one of Barcelona’s most acclaimed ice cream destinations, earning praise from both locals and food critics alike.
It’s still a little hidden away, so make sure to save this spot for your next visit to Barcelona.
