La Barceloneta writes
LA GARBA
We already have the list of the 5 most sold books at La Garba bookstore during 2022.
- “Barceloneta desaparecida” by Francesc Caballé
- “”¿Qué pinto yo aquí? Un affaire institucional” by Gala Pin
- “La yaya velleta i el suquet de peix de la Barceloneta” by Ana Ayala and Vendela Vrensk.
- “La cocina situada” by Marina Monsonís
- “La playa infinita” by Antonio Iturbe
All the books are intimately related to our neighbourhood and among the five we can draw a line of spatiotemporal continuity between the Barceloneta of the past and the one of the future, the one we want to achieve. You can find these books at La Garba, a perfect gift for the holidays.

Cultural activities are the soul of a bookstore and the way in which it communicates with its public. On Saturday March 3rd we had the pleasure of presenting a very interesting essay made in Barceloneta: No se decía Frankenstein. The monster against Heidegger, by Falconetti Peña, author and editor from the neighbourhood. The event was also attended by the Professor of Anthropology and urban activist Manuel Delgado, who talked with the author about the film version of James Whale, the classic played by Boris Karloff.
