Bendita Gloria is a graphic design studio run by Alba Rosell and Santi Fuster based in Barcelona. After studing graphic design and printing arts, they decided to start their own project in 2007. By now, they have experience in identity, editorial, packaging… but they don’t believe in these kind of tags anymore.
Simple and charming, Bacaro is an authentic Venetian tavern located near the rear of the Mercat de la Boqueria, where its owners buy daily the freshest products to create an excellent menu featuring always homemade pasta and fish dishes. Definitely a great alternative to enjoy non-commercial Italian cuisine.
It is a cultural center that organizes and produces exhibitions, debates, festivals and concerts, programmes film cycles, courses and lectures, and encourages creation using new technologies and languages. You can also find inside a nice cafe, a bookshop and a library, I love to go there on sundays, to discover new artists or just have some tea and look at some art books.
Salvador Dalí often visited Cadaqués in his childhood, and later kept a home in Port Lligat, a small village on a bay next to the town. A summer holiday here in 1916, spent with the family of Ramon Pichot is seen as especially important to Dalí's artistic career. Other notable artists, including Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Marcel Duchamp, Richard Hamilton, Albert Ràfols-Casamada, Antoni Pitxot, Henri-François Rey, Melina Mercouri and Maurice Boitel also spent time here. Cadaqués is mentioned in the story "Tramontana" by Gabriel García Márquez.
