Estrella Damm
This is probably the most important truck in Barcelona, the Estrella Damm beer delivery truck. It supplies Estrella Damm and Voll Damm to the entire city. There are, in fact, several delivery trucks so don't worry as Barcelona will be properly supplied in the event of the above truck breaking down.
