About me

Hi, I am Ioana, and I like to travel. Over the years, I have called ‘home’ several cities across Europe including Lisbon, Bilbao, Amsterdam and Milan, until I fell in love in Barcelona, where I am based for the third time now. I have a twelve-years background in architecture, and I like to capture nice stories, patterns and colours around me. And to live by the sea. The idea of Rutes de Barcelona is to design and customize routes of the city that mix and match architecture and lifestyle, art and food, past and present. Google maps coming up soon!

My neighbourhood. Carrer de València. I am fortunate enough to have some amazing Modernist designs quite close to my house. Like this one, built for lawyer and landowner Manuel Llopis Bofill, and constructed between 1902 and 1903. Architect Antoni M. Gallissà opted here for some oriental-style features including the shape of the balconies and the metal rail details. Also, the sgraffito shapes are among the most original I've seen in the whole Eixample. #see #enjoy #discover #barcelona #rutesdebarcelona #lookingup #modernist #architecture

"Up and down" I went yesterday to see the new exhibition of @carlestolosa. If you need an infusion of bright colours and stunning compositions, make sure you check his instagram account. . . . #see #enjoy #discover #barcelona #rutesdebarcelona #contemporary #art #exhibition #colours #shapes #upanddown

My favourite combination: trees in #blossom, the neoclassical façades of #Eixample, and clear blue #sky. . . . #see #enjoy #discover #barcelona #rutesdebarcelona #flowers #springishere

Deliciously fresh. Lunch at Carlitos. . . . #taste #enjoy #discover #barcelona #rutesdebarcelona #carlitos #restaurant #foodie #lunch #freshfish #carrotcream

“Reconstruct your mind.” Love this artwork by @bl2a_ 💕 I spotted it at @artevistasgallery - an amazing hub for #streetart and #emergingartists from Barcelona and elsewhere. . . . #see #enjoy #discover #barcelona #rutesdebarcelona #contemporary #art #portrait

Here is where the #Pyrenees go lower to embrace the #Mediterranean. Although it feels like at the end of the world, #CapDeCreus is just some 3 hours driving from Barcelona, a great option for a day out. #see #enjoy #discover #catalunya #catalunyaexperience #sunset #view

Sweet temptation with yogurt, red fruit and fluffy marshmallow. At Cafeteria Industrial, in #Poblenou. #taste #enjoy #discover #barcelona #rutesdebarcelona #sweet #temptation

500 years of history, having the human body as protagonist. A #fashion story from Barcelona's design museum. #see #enjoy #discover #barcelona #rutesdebarcelona #design #exhibition #silhouette #history

Magic. #Montserrat . . . #mountain #topview #clouds #catalunyaexperience

Feeling like kids unable to decide which icecream to pick, while having a... hummus tasting. These are the "cucuruchos de hummus" - tasty cornets with avocado, beetroot, chickpeas and lentils. At @vivantbar. . . . #taste #enjoy #discover #barcelona #rutesdebarcelona #healthy #hummus #dinner

I love early mornings in the city. This is Barna Dawn, a city portrait created by Dutch artist Yvonne Michiels. She went up to the Bunkers, one early morning, to take photos of the city and then created this beautiful collage. Barna Dawn is part of Michiels' City Lights series including portraits of London, Milan or the NYC. . . . art by @yvonne_michiels gallery @villadelartegalleries . . . #see #enjoy #discover #barcelona #rutesdebarcelona #photography #art #collage #portrait #barna #dawn
