The Museu de la Xocolata is a space devoted to the history, culture and art of chocolate. Located in the former convent of Sant Agustí, it offers a clear and accessible journey through its production process, from the cocoa bean to the finished piece. Exhibitions, striking sculptures and hands-on workshops reveal how chocolate evolved from an exotic luxury to an integral part of the city’s culinary identity. Tradition, craft and creativity come together in a route designed for the curious, families and enthusiasts of chocolate culture.
