During the summer streets are always brimming with visitors and to keep them entertained there are performers, painters, T-shirt printers and a whole clutch of themed bars, restaurants, creperies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/ice-cream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ice cream<\/a> parlours.
