A Virtual Immersion into a Special Place. Casa Batlló

Diving into the sea or climbing the dragon’s tail? Here’s an insight into the wonderful universe of Antoni Gaudí.

Mediterranean Charm. Sant Pol de Mar

Sant Pol de Mar is at about 40 minutes by train from Barcelona, on the coast of Maresme. The place has a bit of everything: narrow winding streets, medieval churches, Modernist mansions, places with good food, pine-covered hills and, above all, ten beaches to its name.

Flors de Gràcia

Casa Francesc Cama Art Nouveau tiles green and yellow floral design

Let’s take a stroll in Vila de Gràcia and stop by some of the most original Modernist designs in the area.

Infusion of Bright Colours. Can Framis

“Why do two colours, put one next to the other, sign? Can one really explain this?”

My Barrio. Carrer de València

I am fortunate to live close enough to some of the architectural wonders of the city. These ones are actually on my street, just a few blocks away, so here is a glimpse into my post-confinement daily walks.

Impression, Immersive Gardens

It’s blossom season, and the wild roses, the yellow jasmines, and the Spanish brooms turned all parks into wonderlands, making me feel like walking into one of Claude Monet’s floral scapes.

Girl Escaping, The Caress of a Bird and Other Playful Creations by Joan Miró

This is a virtual escape into the playful world of art. If you haven’t been to the Joan Miró Foundation, or have been there and miss it, this is a tour of one of my most beloved places in Barcelona.
