Passatge de Mallofré runs from Carrer Major de Sarrià to Carrer de Clos de Sant Francesc. It was opened up between 1866 and 1870, and is evocative of Noucentista Sarrià.

Brief history of a passage

The small, semi-covered passage takes its name from the stockbroker Josep Mallofré i Trius, who bought an old barracks that was being used as a garage for a transport company’s vehicles. After knocking down the existing buildings, he built three new houses: one on Carrer Major de Sarrià, another on Clos de Sant Francesc and a third one in the interior, so that they formed a passage that could be used as a shortcut between the two main streets.

The charm of old sarrià

The passage has all the charm of the old Sarrià, and is considered to be one of the most unusual places in Barcelona. On top of that, it is very close to the house where the poet, journalist and essayist Josep Vicenç Foix i Mas (1893-1987) was born. He was one of the most outstanding figures of the Catalan avant-garde. And his family’s famous patisserie Foix de Sarrià, founded in 1866, is at Nº 57 Carrer Major de Sarrià.
