This book aims to be a useful tool that forms part of the city's tourist and cultural routes to help visitors and residents alike learn more about Barcelona. To achieve this, extensive research has been carried out to document the city's history with verified, up-to-date information based on the trade yearbooks from the era. With a clear functional design and powerful graphic imagery, the book is organized into six chapters: food, fashion and accessories, leisure and culture, dining, healthcare, and activities related to trade and industry. In total, the book presents one hundred historical establishments that are representative of Barcelona's commercial community. The end of each chapter includes businesses that are no longer around but are still alive in our collective memory, such as El Indio, la cereria Codina, and the Musical Emporium, to name just a few.
