In a Barcelona increasingly crowded with franchises and impersonal establishments, the iconic sandwich shop Conesa on Plaça Sant Jaume is an exception. Not only because it's one of the few bars in the city center that still retains and nurtures its longtime clientele, but because the retirement of its owners fortunately won't lead to its closure. Conesa is changing hands, but not its spirit. Josep Conesa and Marta Cortadella are folding, but Juan Cano and Christian Domínguez are continuing.
