Can I buy absinthe in Barcelona?
Only have a few hours shopping on Las Ramblas. Do general liquor stores carry it, or do you have to know a special place to go?
TIA
Katey - you're absolutely right! I won't be drinking it there! I'll be bringing - better not say where. But BELIEVE ME I will not be drinking it alone; will be with friends (not driving either!!)

I am an absinthe obsessive and used to make it. "Absinthe" is widely available, but thujone - the hallucinogenic component, derived from wormwood - is removed from brands sold in almost all countries. The only mass-produced brands that are not de-thujonized are sold in Amsterdam and the Czech Republic and these have minor amounts of thujone in them. If you just want it for the novelty, etc., go for it. If you want the hallucinogenic effect, you'll have to do some more research and either make your own or find a different source (hint: essential oils from plants other than wormwood).
