We risked and we won. We decided to visit Bun Bo Vietnam, a Vietnamese restaurant hidden in the Gothic Quarters with a lot of questions unanswered (raw fish, too much crab, too spicy, the searing doubt about the lizard...), and we made so many questions to the waiter that only her supreme patience avoided us to being slapped in the face with a raw fish. I suppose it’s clear to you that we are more of the type of the nerd than the hipster. After half an hour of delicious dishe

Don’t you think Barcelona is the perfect scenario for one of those Freemasons Stories that people read in the metro? It’s the excuse to blame the Freemasons for everything evil that ever happened, or relate evil to something less ghostly and complicated than Market Laws. The corny true is that the Freemasons were no more than Trade Unions when the associations of workers were illegal and punished (think about how it works as a secret message: who is the freemason now, Dan Bro

This time we are talking about Raïm. The problem is that nobody knows where this place is or have never heard of it... That's because everybody knows this low-cost bar as "El Cubano", and if you ask, they will tell you is in Gràcia. Yeah, you can order anything you want to drink, but it's not very recommended to ignore their delicious mojitos. You are warned. A Latino bar with a lovely reminiscence of the vintage Havanna that doesn't remember the tyranny, but the charm of the

I guess you are living or planning to live in Barcelona. If you don't want to be treated like a tourist or a "guiri" (as we call tourists here), follow these 15 tips that we found in an article and we have translated for you: 1) People from Barcelona like to brag about how cosmopolitan and international we are. But we suffer of an anxiety attack and suffocation with the simple thought of living in another city. Barcelona is the best city in the world for us, if you don't want

What about hot dogs? That's the question that's stuck in my mind lately. We are living this absolutely mainstream fashion with gourmet burgers. It's crazy. I love them, I'm not going to deny it. But it's growing like a plague, just like frozen yogurt and electronic cigarettes shops. And I'm wondering... what can we do to get something different but at the same time delicious and fast to eat? And immediately two words came to my mind: HOT DOGS. What has happened to them? Have

I’m going to talk about burgers. Yep, Barcelona and burgers. Ridiculously delicious burgers. Marry-me-burger burgers. But I’m going too fast... You know all burgers are not the same. You know what I’m talking about: those untasty pieces of toxic transgenic meat mercifully killed in the shape of a suffering zombie cow with a gun and gallons of holy water (or so it tastes), and those art pieces that make you think you are chewing on Michael Fassbender or Kate Upton. The restaur

Of course, the key is the quality instead of the quantity. I’ve never considered myself a hard drinker, but sometimes you got the thirst… and you cannot do anything about it: automatic pilot. But other times you found one of those places where everything has been fitted like in a puzzle to give you THE experience. I’m talking about Elephanta were having a drink is like tasting the summit of civilization. If you like Gin, that is your place, set a day in your calendar and suit

Ok, then. Here is the second tradition for Christmas that only happens in Catalonia. It's the Cagatió. Before explaining anything it's important to tell you about the origin of the word, because it can cause some confusion. If you can understand some Spanish you will know that "caga" means - as we explained before - "to make shit", but "tió" doesn't mean "dude" -if you were thinking so- it means "log of wood" (see the picture). The whole word means, literally: the log that m

Coffee and art were born one for another. It's not a risky afirmation, it's a fact of the real life I digged from my experience. For both you need a contemplative mood and a passive attitude. And if you think about it, there is nothing you can tell about a coffee that you can't repeat looking at a paint ( It's armonious, It's hot, It's strong, It's intense, It's liquid, It takes a time to digest, I don't feel quite well after it, or it resurrects me!) and meaning it... So, th

I'm one of those persons that believe that important things happen in special places. I believe in the importance of places. I think sometimes cool things happen because you are in a magic place. Madame Jasmine's got the 3 B's (bueno, bonito, barato) and something else. Something else! That's the reason of its success. It's a little, slummy and bohemian bar where they serve the best sandwiches ever, with a creative and a unique touch that make them unforgettable. And for sure
