A delightful little museum that explores the history of chocolate in multiple languages including Catalan, Spanish, French, and English. It's packed with interesting videos and stunning chocolate sculptures. We spent about an hour there, and the entrance ticket is a real 70% dark chocolate bar. If you're looking for a relaxed spot to unwind on your day off, this is definitely worth a visit.

Great museum to learn about the history of chocolate and admire some artistic chocolate statues. The area is filled with a delightful chocolate aroma. The ticket is a chocolate bar available for purchase there. There's also a shop where you can enjoy chocolate drinks and buy unique souvenirs.

There's a few chocolate models behind glass and some equipment, but not much else to see. However, the entry fee is cheap! The place lacks the information and exhibits to keep you engaged for more than 30 minutes. The café serves nice drinks and snacks. We visited on a particularly rainy day to warm up and pass some time.
