Unless you’re one of those who over packs for the trip to Barcelona with more luggage than the necessary and does not appeal to surprise your family with a last minute look… Continue reading: We have landed in Barcelona, taking in the sun and the “Primavera” environment, and food in the stomach, so what if [...]

No doubt the fashion drink of nowadays is the Gin Tonic, which has driven away popular drinks such as whiskey or rum. Gin originated in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, but were the British who popularized this drink during the years of maximum splendour of the British Empire. To fight Malaria in India, the [...]

The love for the ecological and respect for the environment in cities has given a new twist. The urbanites living at the shores of the Mediterranean are no longer content with buying local ecological producers, or engineering to fit tomatoes, lettuce and herbs on balconies of tiny apartments. No, the new thing in cities like [...]

The beginnings of the 18th Century Industrial Barcelona were closely tied to a cotton fabric originally from Asian, which were baptized with the name “Indianas”.

The reasons stand for themselves. We are about to enjoy up to 5 journeys spread between May 30th and 31st and June [...]

I must confess, the mythical band from Bristol led by the singer Beth Gibbons is one of my biggest weaknesses. They’ve aged like good wine does. Since their first album (“Dummy” (1994, Go Beat), “Portishead” (1997, Go Beat”), or their firsts and delicious songs (“Sour Times”, “Glory Box”, “Numb”) they have been near my desk [...]
