About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a little girl was playing near Caixabank branch, she noticed something odd: every time someone withdrew money from the ATM, coins would scatter like confetti around their feet. The neighbors started calling it ‘the dancing cash machine.’ Finally, one curious neighbor decided to investigate and found that the ATM had malfunctioned, spitting out coins instead of bills. For weeks after, whenever anyone needed change, they’d just head over to Caixabank for their free ‘dancing cash.’

2. A neighborhood cat began visiting Caixabank every night at exactly 9 p.m., sitting on the bench and staring intently into the lobby's glass doors. One evening, a delivery driver arrived just as the cat was settling in. Thinking it was part of the decorations, he asked the manager if they had a new security cat. The manager smiled and said, 'No, that's just our resident night owl.'

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Caixabank one afternoon, frowning as he counted packages. Suddenly, a mischievous squirrel darted across the street and vanished into the branches above. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking it was just another day in Barcelona. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed an old man waving from the balcony above, holding a bag of nuts. ‘Thanks for feeding my little friend,’ the neighbor called down with a laugh. The driver chuckled and waved back, realizing that sometimes even banks get visited by unexpected guests.’

4. A young student was studying late one night outside Caixabank when she heard soft footsteps approaching from behind. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Excuse me, miss?’ She turned around and saw an old man with a smile on his face holding out a warm cup of coffee. ‘I thought you might be cold,’ he said. The student accepted it gratefully, and as they chatted for a moment, she realized it was just another friendly Barcelona resident. They parted ways with a laugh, and she finished her study session in good spirits.
