Take a stroll with creative director Wekaforé Jibril to discover Barna’s best place to snag a bargain, eat Gambian food, and dance the night away.
Voodoo Club
Club night
Av. de Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia, 13, Sants-Montjuïc, 08038 Barcelona, Spain
"You’ve gotta go to Voodoo Club. If you're coming from outside the city and trying to find a middle ground, a safe neutral territory to meet people and be yourself and have no intercultural sniffles, then Voodoo Club is number one."
Wekaforé JIBRIL
Betty Ford's
Bar
C/ de Joaquín Costa, 56, Ciutat Vella, 08001 Barcelona, Spain
"There's Betty Ford’s. Barcelona is a huge skater city, so Betty Ford’s is a really popular skater bar. For me, that’s one of the bars that is the most free spirited. Just skater vibes."

África Bar & Restaurante Foni
African restaurant
Carrer de l'Est, 9, Ciutat Vella, 08001 Barcelona, Spain
"You definitely have to go to Foni Restaurante. It's Gambian; cheap, affordable food. Everyone has been to Foni once. It’s probably one of the least touristic places I know."

Mercat dels Encants
Flea market
C. de los Castillejos, 158, L'Eixample, 08013 Barcelona, Spain
"For sure you need to go to Mercat dels Encants, which is the flea markets that happen every Monday, Wednesday, Friday at the marina area. It's like local sellers. You can get furniture, old books, clothing, jewellery — all for a bargain."

The Room
Clothing store
Carrer del Duc, 5, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona, Spain
"The Room is a local shop, also in the center. They have a great selection of brands. Not so high-end, but sort of medium medium that everyone can afford."
