inquiets — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 07:16:55 +0000

Yes, August is finishing and it is still hot in Barcelona!
This time, we have a simple but basic guide for those who want to enjoy our beaches.
How to dress, what do you have to take with you, when to sunbathe… and more useful tips.
What are you waiting for, then?
Let’s go to the beach!

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?

Your beach in Barcelona

inquiets — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 09:41:00 +0000

Can you feel the sun in your skin?
Me too!
I love Barcelona because it’s pretty easy to get to the beach and sunbathe or have a dive.
But hey… What beach do you prefer?
We have seven different beaches, each one with its own characteristics.
So, after watching the video… What’s your beach?

Laberint d’Horta, Barcelona’s wonderland

inquiets — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 09:46:52 +0000

Have you seen a white rabbit?
Anyone?
OK…
This morning, we were at Laberint d’Horta, shooting a video, when something happened.
It is one of the most wonderful and original parks in Barcelona.
So, if you see a little sweet bunny while you enter the labyrinth, just tell me.
There is something I need to tell him!

Plaça Reial

inquiets — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 14:05:03 +0000

This week we stay close to les Rambles.
Plaça Reial is the only square with porches in the city, and you really have to visit it.
Not only because of it’s history, but for being one of the hotspots in Barcelona.
During the day, bars and restaurants to have a drink or sit down and eat something.
At night, a place with a very active nightlife.
Furthermore, during weekends, a lot of activities (clowns, music concerts, exhibitions…) take place at Plaça Reial.
Have a look at this website to know more!

History and shopping at Carrer Tallers

inquiets — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 18:33:58 +0000

Very near Les Rambles, there is a very interesting street.
It combines history, culture and new trends like no other place in the city.
I’m talking about Carrer Tallers.
Shops here have always been related to culture, from music to bookshops, and of course, fashion.
Very near, don’t forget to visit MACBA, or to have a drink at “La ovella negra”.
As for the street’s name history…
You will have to watch the video!

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!

Arc de Triomf

inquiets — Tue, 11 May 2010 10:09:46 +0000

Arc de Triomf is one of the reference points in Barcelona.
It is near Parc de la Ciutadella, that’s why it’s a very crowded area, and you will see citizens and tourists riding their bikes or just walking.
This monument is very curious, because while triumph archs were always built as a tribute to victories in battles, this one was conceived as the entrance of the 1888’s Universal Exposition. We are of peace!
Furthermore, near Arc de Triomf you have a wide variety of transport: bus, metro or train.
And finally, very near, there is a really delicious museum.
Will you resist the temptation?

History and music at Plaça del rei

inquiets — Mon, 03 May 2010 16:21:14 +0000

Today, another hidden place in the city.
Do you know Plaça del Rei?
It’s a really wonderful square near Plaça Sant Jaume.
There, you will find Museu Històric de la Ciutat, which keeps all the information about the ancient city.
And if you are lucky, you’ll be able to listen to some music, played by urban performers.
In our case, we shooted with some spanish guitar as musical background…
Amazing, isn’t it?

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?
