328. This past weekend we had the pleasure of enjoying the scenary of Comarruga in el Vendrell (Tarragona). This is a lovely residential area, right next to the beach and just 25 minutes drive to Barcelona. This property was old and had some caracter but it could ebarely be appreciated. 
We decided to keep its caracter (like stair tiles) but giving it fresh air, making it modern and chic for a contemporary family. This was the result. You can see the property info on this link.

391.  This is by far, I think, my favourite Barcelona restaurant. Led by Michelin Star Chef #Jordi Cruz, this one Michelin Star heaven is just that heaven: #ANGLE! not very well know, as its landmark restaurant is the #ABBAC, however this one is even more authentic, top service, and the menu is simply out of this world. It changes according to the season we are in. in our case we went in the middle of autumn and the dishes were inspired in chestnuts, calçots, parmesan and boletus. The desserts were something i have never tried before; just the right taste combined with the right elements, for me pure PERFECTION! A funny thing about this restaurant, is the carton board Chef #Jordi Cruz character that greets you to the restaurants. See picture below.  5*****

324. Did you know that Eixample is by far the most popular area in Barcelona to live in? Do you agree? Or do you prefer Sants? Perhaps Sant Martí? Horta-Guinardó? There is quite a difference between where us foreigners like to live in and where locals who have been here for generations prefer to settle. Eixample is by far the district which offers more households following Sant Martí. 
It also depends if you are coming by yourself or if you are planning on sharing with a large group. If you are family of 4-5 members who need a two to three bedroom perhaps Sarria will offer you more choice. However the more people you are looking at areas like Ciutat Vella or Bou Barris will probably give you more choice. What is your opinion? Please share your comments either here or on our Facebook Page. Have a lovely day everyone!

​320. After having checked out various restaurants in Barcelona during the past couple of months, this is I think my favorite this season so far. A Contra Luz is the name of this amazing place! So cute, so sweet, so chic, so perfectly and warmly decorated. This dual type property: sweet garden area and cozy and warm inside it is just the perfect atmosphere. I love the chairs; they are my favorite ones like the ones I talked about in this article.
The attention to detail to make the guest have a lovely evening is just perfect. Romantic and slow music, low music, incense and the staff are amazing. 
The food is to die for, amazing croquets, fresh fish and the bread.... OH MY GOD! Onion, olives, cereals, all amazing! 
· Price: 30€ per person aprox 
· Would I recommend going? Definitely!
​· Will I go back! 100% for sure!

316. According to the Economist Gonzalo Bernardos, the economy and particularly Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia are booming. 
The political uncertainty of the Brexit, the Refugee crisis and the American Elections are all creating a world and particularly European turmoil. These factors contribute in the decision of the European Central Bank to keep the interest rates in an unprecedented low rate. 
This catalysis the market for the potential buyers to actually make the decision of buying, as acquitting a property is cheaper than renting it. 
Barcelona is one of three cities in Spain which has more property demand. In fact by 2026 the population in Barcelona will rise substantially.
In the following graph we can see the population raises in the different districts in Barcelona, Eixample being the most popular and Ciutat Vella the least.
