Permanent collection of some 3,800 pieces has now been spread across five adjoining palaces, two of which are devoted to temporary exhibitions.

The "1929. The Barcelona Pavilion" is one of the places where I always take my friends when they come to visit me to Barcelona. It was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as the German National Pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition. The day I made the photo was raining heavily, even then I found it great.

An small and cute perfumery store placed in the Raval that I discovered some weeks ago. The space design is a mix of traditional materials and a contemporary sense of the space and is full of numerous things that smell crazy. I bought one cake of soap from a portugese label called Claus Porto. Now my bathroom smells like a country of savage water lilies and I'm looking forward to wash my hands all the time.

It is a charming and welcome green space in the heart of Barcelona. It has water displays including a beautiful fountain and small lake along with lots of grass verges to lie down and soak up the warm sunshine. A great spot for relaxation, a walk... the place that I like the most is a glass building full of plants inside.

worth a visit!
