A baker’s no longer

Bread is no longer made at Concepció, but the Modernista shop retains many of its original details. The window still has the wooden finishes and decoration typical of the Modernista style: rounded forms and plant motifs, which frame glass panes painted with Castilian landscapes. The tiles and original wooden counter inside have also been preserved.

The people’s modernisme

Many people have been keen to point to the existence of this Modernista bakery as proof that Modernisme was a broad movement, not exclusively bourgeois but one that imbued everyday life in Catalonia from the early years of the 20th century.
