Why visit Queviures Múrria?
On the corner of Carrer de Roger de Llúria and Carrer de València, in the Eixample district of Barcelona, there is a hundred-year-old shop that still has its original decoration, with stained-glass signs and advertisements designed by Ramon Casas, one of the most recognised painters of the Modernista generation.
