Visiting the Turrón and Chocolate Museum with Kids

Torró (turrón in Spanish) is a traditional nougat made from almonds, honey and sugar. Torrons Vicens makes it in Agramunt, a town in Lleida province, and its museum on La Rambla covers the history with old tools and machinery, archive photos, 3D animations and an immersive room.

Visits are guided, with tours in English, Spanish and Catalan, and end with a tasting of ten kinds of torró and a cup of thick hot chocolate. It is a different place from the larger Chocolate Museum in El Born: a short visit in the town centre, and a place to warm up with a hot chocolate. The museum is a short walk from the Boqueria market. A good stop in the run-up to Christmas.
