There are the usuals: herbal teas, pasta, rice, <a title=\"Fruit lovers paradise in Barcelona\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/the-best-juice-bars-in-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fresh fruit<\/a> and vegetables (all organic), oils, vinegar, nut butter, honey, jams, spreads, cheeses, fresh bread, olives, baby foods \u2013 the whole damn lot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Their range is good due to the size of the place and seems to be the largest and best stocked organic supermarket in Barcelona. Infinitely bigger than Veritas on Laeitana and so the range they stock is more impressive. You can get things in here that are difficult to pick up elsewhere, such as sprouts for germinating. I\u2019ve only seen these in Veritas previously and with few varieties. Sprouts are very expensive in Spain unfortunately but the Spaniards are catching on quickly to the <a title=\"Healthy food in Barcelona\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/healthy-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">health food revolution<\/a> \u2013 in Barcelona at least \u2013 and this should hopefully drag the price down to normal and become affordable for all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/vegan-barcelona-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Eating Healthy: Your vegan and vegetarian guide to Barcelona\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_else\"><\/span>What else?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_82994\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82994\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-82994\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/salad-1786327_1280-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-82994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo via Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to food you can also have beauty treatments such as facials and massages that all use organic best-quality products and there is also an organic hairdresser (peluqueria) \u2013 the first I can recall seeing in Spain. Here you can have tints, colours and treatments with organic products that are less toxic to you and what\u2019s left of the environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They also run courses in healthy food preparation and hold regular classes in both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/pilates-sant-marti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pilates<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/yoga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">yoga<\/a>, although all courses and classes are held in either Catalan or Castellano, so if you\u2019re not already au fait with the lingo, perhaps hold off until you know your subjunctives from your imperatives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The staff at <strong>Biospacio<\/strong> are generally very friendly and knowledgeable and always seem happy to help you find what you need if they\u2019ve got it. Even if you speak in syllables and use a pointy finger to get your requests across.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/vegetarian-restaurants-gotic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vegetarian restaurants in Barrio G\u00f3tico<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I love this place and can lose myself in here for at least an hour.
