98. I made just an amazing discovery today. Starting a long week, Monday morning full of work... suddenly my love called me to surprise me and invited me for a lovely and healthy detox juice! Its a new place right next to the beautiful Casa Batlló. They have a healthy salad bar, fresh juice menu and a shop of chocolate!! What else can you wish for? 
The cafe (Faborit) is absolutely adorable and thank god healthy options are starting to arise within the typical tapas places! Salad and fresh juice 7€, a lovely healthy option for a quick lunch!

Proud of Barça

97. If you are planning to visit Barcelona you must check our the famous Camp Nou. The "Nou Camp" is a football stadium in Barcelona, which has been the home of FC Barcelona since 1957.
With a seating capacity of 99,354, it is the largest stadium in Spain by capacity. It is also the largest stadium in Europe and the second largest association football stadium in the world in terms of capacity. It has hosted numerous international matches at a senior level, including a 1982 FIFA World Cup semi-final match, two UEFA Champions League finals and the football competition at the 1992 Summer Olympics.

Check out the Camp Nou Experience!!

The construction of Camp Nou started on 28 March 1954 as Barcelona's previous stadium, Camp de Les Corts, had no room for expansion. Although originally planned to be called "Estadi del FC Barcelona", the more popular name "Camp Nou" was used. The June 1950 signing of László Kubala, regarded as one of Barcelona's greatest players, provided further impetus to the construction of a larger stadium.
 
Construction of Camp Nou began on 28 March 1954 before a crowd of 60,000 Barça fans. The civil governor of Barcelona, Felipe Acedo Colunga, presided at the laying in place of the first stone, with a blessing from the Archbishop of Barcelona, Gregorio Modrego. Construction took three years, going 336% over budget for a final cost of 288 million pesetas. The stadium was officially opened on 24 September 1957. Handel's "Messiah" was performed at the opening of the stadium. Barcelona then defeated Legia Warsaw 4-2 in a friendly match.
The architects were Francesc Mitjans and Josep Soteras, with the collaboration of Lorenzo García-Barbón.

96.​ L´illa is one definitely my favorite mall in Barcelona. It has various floors full of retail units, then another floor with supermarket  and a whole floor of a food market with amazing gourmet options to taste onsite and to take away or even cook at home. Famous Primark can also be found in L´Illa, Decathlon and FNAC. 
They have one of the coolest kitchen gadget shops and unique home decoration ones. A lovely place to spend a Saturday afternoon with the family or friends.

Adorable way to chill out

94. After a hard working day the only thing you can think of is to hit your home and relax! However, if you come across a place like Santamasa going home might not be your first option! We came across this lovely cafe style restaurant which just seems adorable! A new concept, kind of maraca but with a catalan, meets European style. With dishes like humus or guacamole in their menu together with small pizzas, salads and typical catalan cocas. Just very eclectic and wonderful to chill out in style after work! It is located in the sweet quarter of Sarria just where Azoca is,
​ L´Obrador and one of my favourite apartments!

. Wondeful variety of bread and cocas. And funny catalan decorated interiors with yellow and red flags. Very cool and the bread is seriously lovely!

92.​I love how traditional shops try their best and innovate make themselves look more trendy and futuristic! Boci is an example of this phenomenon. I was really curious about this colourful pearls beautiful presented in Christmas packages that they have throughout the shop. It seems they are chocolate pearls filled with various fruits like orange, etc. Very original and looks very chic too!

Galleries Lafayette, meets, 5th Avenue, meets Slefridges...Corte Inglés

 89. ​ If you are looking for a Galleries Lafayette or Selfridges kind of mall, where in one single place you have everything you need, El Corte Inglés is your place. We have several in Barcelona: Plaza Cataluña, Avenida Diagonal and Plaza Francesc Macia. The largest one is Plaza Cataluña although in Avenida Diagonal is lovely too. Francesc Macia is smaller and somehow quieter. If you need a travel agency, large supermarket, gifts or just a souvenir check out El Corte Ingles. The Gourmet sections is particularly nice with authentic items cute for your kitchen or just to impress a friend.

Not a Circus... although certainly a Gastronomic one!

88. ​This is one of the most exhilarating and exciting culinary experiences that  Barcelona has to offer. A colorful welcoming into this circus decor known as Tickets. Albert Adria has wanted to impress his guests with his Bulli inheritance in an outrageous experience of a circus. Not to difficult to get a table if you reserve in advance but it is certainly a must.

87. Christmas is coming! You can feel it gently, slowly but surely by the few Christmas decorations in shops and streets. This past weekend I came across a Christmas product which  was an absolutely innovation: Vicens Turron designed by Michelin Star Chef Albert Adria. You can find Turron made from Mojito, Gin Tonic or even cheesecake. They are absolutely to die for! Gotta try them! You can find them in gourmet stores but also in Carerfour or the Hypercor.

Wonderful & Typical Catalan...Calçots!

20/11/2015

85.  Don´t have nay plans for this weekend? Can´t think of anything fun to do? You MUST then go and have some calçots at Can Tintorer. They are typical catalan, and they are better than caviar! :) The sauce tastes like heaven. Normally you  can´t have proper calçots on  city center restaurants. Let me recommend you one just outside the city center, in a typical masia, the staff is really friendly and by the looks of all the pictures of famous people in their entrance halls seems pretty well known within the locals. Check it out this weekend!

A little piece of the Basque Country in Barcelona!

75. Part of the Hotel Condes of Barcelona, located right on Paseo de Gracia, Loidi is located. It offers executive menus from 25€ and is part of the Martin Berasategui chain (3*** Michelin Star Chef). Eventhoguth he is from teh Basque country, where he resides and works, Barcelona was too tempting not to have a restaurant offering his designed dishes.
Must try. Its a mixture between traditional and contemporary.
