Background
About El 68
The Story
El 68 is a neighbourhood gastrobar on Carrer de Milà i Fontanals in Vila de Gràcia, taking its name from the street number. The venue pairs classic Spanish bar snacks with Mediterranean platillos in a tapas-forward format designed for sharing, and has built a loyal following from diners in the surrounding Gràcia blocks.
The Cuisine
The kitchen serves tapas and Mediterranean platillos built for sharing across the bar or table. The repertoire leans on Spanish staples, pan con tomate, Iberian ham, grilled mushrooms and toasts, seasonal salads with burrata, rounded out with a short list of beer, wine and cocktails.
The Team
El 68 is run as a small neighbourhood gastrobar without a publicly credited head chef. The focus is on consistent execution of tapas-bar classics rather than a chef-driven tasting concept.

Experience
El 68 Dining Experience
El 68 has the informal, counter-forward feel of a neighbourhood gastrobar: a stainless bar lined with playful number-68 signs, a small dining area, and an outdoor terrace. Tapas and platillos are served for sharing and the mood is casual rather than hushed.

El 68 Location & Neighbourhood
Getting There
El 68 sits on Carrer de Milà i Fontanals in Vila de Gràcia, a dense residential street just east of Gràcia's plaza grid. The location places the gastrobar a short walk from Joanic and Verdaguer metros and within the broader Gràcia neighbourhood of independent bars, small plazas and neighbourhood restaurants.
Nearby
Gràcia is one of Barcelona's most beloved neighbourhoods, a former independent village absorbed into the city, still defined by small plazas, low-rise buildings, independent shops and a dense fabric of neighbourhood bars and restaurants. Vila de Gràcia, where El 68 sits, is the heart of this residential character and feels distinctly local rather than tourist-driven.
