Let's continue with our amazing walk, shall we? Here we can start seeing the little kiosks that nowadays, most of them, are selling just souvenirs, juices and ice creams. But when I was a little girl that was my favourite part of Les Rambles. That little kiosks, as you can see in the picture, used to sell all kinds of animals. They were like little zoos in the middle of the city. I used to go there with my parents and beg every five 5 minutes for them to buy me a chick. Actua

Everyone coming to Barcelona know about Les Rambles. Everyone has seen it in pictures, everyone walks it and everyone takes photos in it. But... do we really know a lot about it? There is a lot more hiding there than you can imagine, and we will try to reveal all that secrets. First of all La Rambla is divided into six different sections, each one with its personality. It's no the same the first part, the commercial one just next to Plaça Catalunya than the one that crosses w

Let's see... What does Christmas mean? Family, copious lunchs and dinners, infinite fights between two sides of the table (and even more right now) about the independence of Catalonia, escudella and Christmas carols. But... what is Christmas without snow? It's rare to see Barcelona covered in white, even though lately the weather is just crazy and we have seen it a couple of times. Anyway, Catalonia does not end in Barcelona. It has plenty of locations and spots to see. And

In the Nineteenth Century, Barcelona got two big problems and a derivative problem caused by them: a city growth without planning and an old wall around the city that compressed the population in a very limited area. The consequence of these two problems was that the city couldn’t provide with homes to the increasing industry workers that were arriving to the city around 1850. This was a huge problem, because by law, all the land outside the wall was considered military area

Well, Barcelona is a big city, with a lot of unique places and spots, we could say that it's impossible to really get to know the city if you are not living here, and even if you are it's difficult. That's why we have thought of giving you a little help with this list of 10 important things you should know about this charming city. 1. The Montjuïc Communications Tower, built by Santiago Calatrava, is shaped as the body of a sportsman holding a torch, something that fits perfe

Pa amb tomàquet (bread with tomato) is one of the more beloved meals in Catalonia. It is for everybody, all social classes, and always welcome. We are never lazy about preparing some and where we are not in our country is what we are missing the most. Involving the pa amb tomàquet, I have noticed that there are two big mysteries yet unresolved: 1. What is the perfect pa amb tomàquet? 2. Why has no one copied it yet? Why are they not offering it in China o the EEUU? I'm totall

In our “Week of the Indies”, we are visiting another classic in Barcelona: Smoll. This time it’s a comfortable place to pass the hours with a bunch of friends. Great music, awesome decoration and the most charming bartender you’ll have the chance to meet. Accept a couple of recommendations if you are planning to go. The first one is that you order a mojito. The second one is that you must be careful with the bartender: he is going to kill you… with his kindness. For more info

You know those places that are cool? Cool for the cool? Naive cool? With the aspiration to be cooler everyday? That is Manchester Bar. Usually the trendy places keep unknown and undiscovered, hidden in conveniently narrow streets and surrounded by signs that advertise that there is something worthy to discover very near... if you know how to search. A priori, there is nothing new inside, but for sure they will be the first to offer. How themselves say: “the coolest music is f

Ok, I pull my mask out and declare myself dedicated fan of the Beatles “Ha! You have nothing to do living in Barcelona!” Will say someone. But that someone is wrong. In Les Corts you can have a great night in a blend of museum and nuts Beatles fan heaven called La Garrafa dels Beatles. A place full of Day Trippers and Lady Madonnas, where the counter is made of Norwegian Wood. The perfect place to find a quiet corner and Hold Her Hands to find out if She Loves You. Or maybe y

“An image worth one thousand words” it’s a common expression in spanish that use to mean “don’t tell me: show me”. But it’s too the perfect definition of art: things you need to say, but it will take too long to tell, so you draw it. Our topic today is the art. Not any art, but street art. Barcelona is one of the most important cities for street art, and where the most important member of this speciality has left some of their works. Yes, Barcelona is one of the most importan
