The chocolate museum showed the evolution of chocolate
through history all over the world and specifically in Catalunya. The
production and consumption of chocolate is very important in Barcelona.
Historically, there were chocolate factories in Barcelona because it is a large
port city so the production helped the economy and the consumption became a
part of the lifestyle. I have noticed that chocolate and churros is very
common, especially in the colder months. There are also many stands all through
the city that craft and sell their own chocolates still. There are even stands
in the Boqueria. Another tradition in Catalunya in regards to chocolate is the
sculpting of monas. They are common gifts around Easter time and are a part of
the culture.
