Hi everyone!
Do you know that Joan Miró decided to build Fundació Joan Miró just to promote contemporary art?
Some of the artist artworks such as sculptures, paintings, designs and tapestry are displayed in this museum.
Come to Montjuïc to discover the essence of Miró’s art with your family.
And remember, walk up to the roof to take a breath taking picture from Barcelona!

Show must go on at Avinguda Paral•lel

inquiets — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 13:19:46 +0000

Have you ever imagined to have, in no more than 200 meters, theaters, cabarets, or even erotic shows?
Well, in the past, Avinguda Paral•lel was that place. Or even better.
Nowadays, this major street in Barcelona mantains some of these places, and is the visit is really worth it.
And what about its name? Paral•lel? Do you imagine its origin?
This, and much more, in our video.
Enjoy!

Museu Frederic Marès

inquiets — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 03:17:47 +0000

Now that is summer, there’s always time for a drink.
But although Barcelona is full of bars and terraces, there are other spaces.
Like Museu Frederic Marès, very near from the cathedral.
In it, you can visit el Verger, a wonderful courtyard, where you will find Cafè d’estiu: drinks, snacks, and free wi-fi connection!
So… Juice or lemonade?

Summer festivals in Barcelona

inquiets — Tue, 18 May 2010 17:04:50 +0000

Have you got your agendas? Yes!
Then, clear them up right now.
Because Barcelona is always a very active city, but summer is specially full of festivals.
We start with PrimaveraSound.
Then, we have Sónar.
And if you are more into theatre or dance, you have Grec festival.
And… And a lot more.
Watch the video to know what are you missing if you don’t come to Barcelona in summer.
Because not everything is drinking “sangría” and sunbathing!

Sant Jordi

inquiets — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 11:48:56 +0000

Hi there!
Do you know about Sant Jordi’s legend? No? And the dragon? The princess, maybe? No?!
Well, pay attention, because you can’t continue like this.
Every April 23rd Barcelona lives a big celebration.
Specially couples, who buy roses and books for their partners.
Authors sign their books, and les Rambles is full of people walking up and down all day.
So… What about you?
Do you want a rose, or a book?

Catalan – English, lesson 1!

inquiets — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:54:49 +0000

Hola!
Bon dia! Com esteu? M’enteneu? Well, probably some words…
Catalan is a very beautiful language. Do you think it is difficult?
Really?! That’s because you haven’t met the right teacher.
And guess what, I have some time!
Here are a few expressions you may need when arriving at Barcelona.
You know how it works… Listen and repeat!

Sant Josep Oriol and del Pi squares

inquiets — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:32:40 +0000

Can anybody be at two places at the same time?
In Barcelona, yes!
Sant Josep Oriol square and del Pi square are one next to the other in the heart of the city.
A very curious situation that make them a very special place.
Every weekend, there are two different markets: one focused on food made in a traditional way and the other with painters showing their works.
Moreover, you can visit del Pi’s church or have a drink in one of the bars in the squares.
In fact, you will be able to show your musical talent in one of them.
Gina has already done it in the video!

Christmas at Barcelona

inquiets — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:45:01 +0000

25 de desembre, fum, fum, fum!
Yeah, it’s Christmas at Barcelona!
And maybe it doesn’t snow here (well, sometimes it does!), but our Christmas’ spirit remains intact.
Every year, from the first of december until Chirstmas’ Eve, “La Fira de Santa Llúcia” is set at La catedral’s square. It’s the perfect place to get the perfect decorations for your house: trees, lights, Santa Claus dolls, nativity scenes, “el caganer”, “un tió”…
Do you know all about them? How we sing to a trunk and hit it to get some candy? Or that we join to the nativity scene a quite unpolite figure?
Then, watch our video.
And then, write to Santa Claus or the Three Wise Men to ask for your presents.
I already did it!
