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!

La Diagonal

inquiets — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 10:33:07 +0000

Welcome to la Diagonal!
In this long of avenue where you will find shops, bars, restaurants and many more!
La Diagonal divides the city in two parts, and it’s a must-see in your visit.
And don’t worry, because you will find bus stops, underground stations, taxis and many more to get wherever you want…
Or if you want, you can walk all along…
But take some food and drinking, because it is about 11km long!
Anyway, watch the actual avenue, because it is going to be renewed. Take a look here!
So… Which version of la Diagonal do you prefere?

Walking around el Born

inquiets — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 22:00:23 +0000

Sometimes, you need to find something special, unique.
A present for someone, or just for yourself.
Well, el Born is the perfect place. You can visit Santa Maria del Mar or have a look at el Fossar de les Moreres, and the go shopping.
Clothes, shoes, jewellery, art… Everything in this quarter is trendy and original.
Actually, some of these shops only exist here.
And if after shopping, you still have time, go through the narrow streets and find Picasso’s museum.
It will be worth it!

Shopping at Portaferrissa

Are you willing to do some shopping in the city? No problem!
Portaferrissa street is the perfect place to get some new clothes at reasonable prices.
All along the street you will find clothes, shoes, jewellery, bars… It’s probably the place you will find more bags per person in Barcelona.
Please, don’t forget to visit the most known shop in the street, with its curious keeper at the outside.
And remember, that at the end of the shop, there is a very nice terrace where we have already been in our “Summer clothes” video.
Prepare your wallet and let’s go shopping!

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!

Chocolate at Petritxol street

inquiets — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:00:12 +0000

And you thought it’s always hot in Barcelona? Not in winter…
But I have the perfect remedy: a hot and delicious chocolate at Petritxol street!
This narrow street next to les Rambles has some chocolate bars where you must stop by.
Moreover, take a look at the ceramics on the walls, where you will discover details about the city’s and its people’s history. And of course, don’t forget visiting the art galleries, bookshops and original shops along the street.
And believe me, there is nothing better than a chocolate with “churros” in a cold evening at Petritxol.
Highly addictive!

Boqueria’s Market
