Impressions of Barcelona
Just got back from a week long vacation in Barcelona. So much to share: some great architecture, interesting quirky art and local designers.
Check out menchen Tomas (women’s) on c/ rec. 46 and Oscar H. Grand (men’s) on c/barra de ferro 7 for bespoke tailoring. Oscar does his work straight from the shop floor to the coolest music on his ipod. Next door Popi Jabiansky exposes his Pietro della Francesca inspired art at a local internet cafe. (I loved it because I did a similar take on my rents’ portrait several years ago).
Besides there were great local food (pan con tomato and potato/beans/etc. tapas) drinks (rjoha and cava - the catalan bubbly) as well as the Spanish Gothic and Gaudi architecture. My friend Wendy will write a more extended review of this trip on her travel blog and I will link here here soon to give you more detail.

Dear olechko. You know, I am very jealous about the tapas. Did you enjoy some sangria to wash it down?

Sangria is a wild card, since any mix of alcohol ends up there you can wake up with mean headache the next day. We stuck to Rjoha and Cava, and peach juice of course.
