Barcelona / Restaurant

The 3.000 square meters space used to be a parking lot and was transformed into an exquisit palace of food. The venue is divided into four restaurants, each specialised in something else. Meat, fish, tapas & rice, delicatessen. And in the center, four counters specialised in cava, wine, beer and cocktails. There’s even an oyster & champagne bar, for the chic & fancy.

Barcelona / Gallery

This place is right beside where i live. It's a really nice mixed space with art gallery and café, perfect for a drink with friends and also to enjoy their very well selected exhibitions.

Barcelona / Park

Park in the center of Barcelona. Nice space for relaxing. I have good memories of free jazz-concerts in the summer evenings.

Barcelona / Restaurant

Picnic is a restaurant located in the Born neighborhood. A welcoming environment, pampering every detail. The best brunch in Barcelona. A great team of different countries and knowledge of the world of food and wine. They change the menu every season, looking for fresh products to make family recipes and creative dishes from different parts of the world.

Barcelona / Bar

This nearly 200-year-old bar— reputedly the oldest in Barcelona, is an absynthe bar. Was one of the locations from Vicky Christina Barcelona's film. The Marsella is one of those places that Hemingway supposedly loved to frequent (Hemingway being to bars in Spain what George Washington is to inns in New England).
