31. Adeu Barcelona

Well, I am writing this blog post from my house in Manchester, where it is surprisingly sunny. I have been home for officially two days and I can say that I do already miss Barcelona. I miss waking up and going on my balcony in the morning, the busy streets, the atmosphere and the way of life as a whole, but as everyone says…all good things come to an end.

Over my last few weeks in Spain, I managed to fit a lot in. My boyfriend came over and I got to experience all of the touristy things that I was usually too busy to do. We went to Parc Guell, Parc Ciutadella and even to Castelldefells, which is a lovely beach outside of Barcelona. My dad also came over, mainly for his Sants day (San Juan) and also to help with bring back my many cases; fitting my life in three cases wasn't as easy as it may sound. I also finished my amazing internship at RelevantBCN and received my grades from my time at La Universitat de Pompeu Fabra. Therefore, I spent my final week being a lady of luxury, eating out every day and wondering around the city without a care in the world. I'm not sure where this blog goes from here, but it will always be a diary which I can look back on and relive my amazing year. Thank you to everyone who has read my life throughout the past nine months! Thus, here is a list to sum up what has made Barcelona special to me:

1) The city itself

2) The people

3) The traditions

4) The art and architecture

5) The food

6) the way of life

7) The memories

Hasta luego Barcelona!

30. Andalucía, otro mundo español.

Lonely Planet describes Andalucía as a place with multiple faces. It says it is a parched region fertile with culture, a conquered land that went on to conquer and a fiercely traditional place that has accepted rapid modernization and all I can say is that it is another Spanish world.

From living in Barcelona for 9 months, I have become accustom to the Spanish way of life, well as what I thought was the Spanish way of life, seen as I´m in Spain. However up until now I didn´t realise the extent to the difference between the north and south of Spain and various regions, and therefore Andalucía has not only surprised me but reinforced my love of Spanish culture and all it has to offer.

So, as I only have less than three weeks until my journey abroad ends, me and my flatmate decided to head to the south for a long weekend, which I can say was full of many experiences. We opted for Seville and Granada, seen as we had both never to either of them, and they were the two we had heard the most about.

We headed to Seville early Friday morning full of excitement, with our rucksacks and mini bottles of sun cream. As soon as we got there, we managed to navigate our way around with our very helpful map and went on to discover the south of Spain. Luckily, throughout our whole time in Seville we didn´t use any public transport and therefore walked everywhere, which was fine at the time, but my feet are now hating me. Firstly, we visited El Real Alcázar, which is one of the oldest palaces still in use, in the world. It was spectacular and was surrounding by an amazing array of gardens. We then, went onto the Plaza España and it recreated in my mind, the image I once had of Spain. In between visiting these magnificent places, we managed to stop for some tapas, which were a nice change from the range of tapas up north. Throughout the next few days in Seville we went to El Museu de los Bellas Artes, El torre de Oro, La Catedral and the area called Santa Cruz. All in all, we managed to see our fair share of the landmarks that make up Seville. We even got sung to by a band that looked like the three musketeers and watched some form of very entertaining Spanish story telling. Seville is the image that I had in my head before coming to live in Spain, and I would love to return as it was a nice peaceful break from the city of Barcelona.

Then we hoped onto a bus to Granada and once there, it felt like a different world, nothing like Seville. To start of the day we realized we had booked the wrong hostel, but after all that was sorted out, we could truly enjoy the joys of Granada. Our hostel was in the area of Albayzín, which is composed of winding streets full of markets, which reminded me of Marrakesh. The atmosphere was great and we couldn´t help but to go and explore the streets. Also, one of the myths I had heard was proven true, that you get a tapa free with every drink. This never happens in Barcelona and so me and my friend were over the moon. We also scoured the markets and ended up buying Chai tea and all sorts, it is definitely cheaper than the north of Spain. But obviously the highlight of our trip was La Alhambra, we got up early and headed there on our last day with our reserved tickets. I think we spent about four hours there, but thank god we could put our rucksacks in a locker, or else I would have never been able to handle all the walking and the heat. It was incredible, and even that feels like an understatement. Each castle and tower has it´s own feel, and the gardens take you into another world. Also, the view from up there is priceless. I can´t recommend enough visiting the south of Spain, as it opened my eyes to lot´s of new things. Now I only have two weeks left in Barcelona, before I get dragged onto a plane home. 

29. DocsBarcelona

(Español en los comentarios)

Recently, I have written various articles for RelevantBCN, and I did an interview with Joan Gonzàlez the director of the international documentary festival DocsBarcelona, and so I felt like writing a bit more about this interesting festival of doumentaries.

DocsBarcelona is an international documentary festival created to generate a documentary culture in Catalonia and Spain. However the main focus and emphasis now is their spectators, and through the reality of their documentaries, there is something for everybody.

What is the concept of DocsBarcelona?

The concept of the festival is to make the documentaries known to the largest number of people possible. The concept is to take the books out of the monasteries and bring them down to the city, promoting documentaries.

 

How did the festival start?

The festival began as a festival only for professionals to learn how to produce documentaries as they were being produced in Europe in `96 /`97. This was the beginning, as it began as a training tool for professionals, a project market, and when we got to ten years we decided to start the festival for the spectator. 

 

This is the seventeenth edition of the festival, so how has the festival changed over the years?
The main change in the festival is that it began as a festival only for professionals, and now the most important part is the audience, whilst still being an important part of the documentary industry. But it brings to the majority of citizens a documentary festival, with the specific idea that it's a festival of documentaries. It is the most important in Spain because it brings together two parts, the part of the films with their directors and spectators, and the part of the directors, producers and projects who come for funding. The transformation has resulted in a festival which is not only becomes bigger each year but also attracts more and more viewers.

To read the rest of this inspiring interview read my article, DocsBarcelona.

This festival is a great way to delve into the documentary world and to approach subjects and themes that you may have never thought about before. This event will be running from May 26th to June 1st so check out their website or follow them on twitter to keep up to date on the daily info. Finally if your worried about the language barrier don't be, 90% of the documentaries showing will display English subtitles and the experience will be worth every cent.

28. Museums and Colour

My last post was over two weeks ago and it’s fair to say it has been nothing but non-stop, with a number of flights, a few visitors and a lot of colour.

When I got back from Marrakesh, I was definitely tired of the airport, so it has been nice to stay in Barcelona for a few weeks. Not only that, but I brought my lovely father back with me and therefore there has been many family outings, one of which was to Castelldefells, a lovely beach outside of Barcelona.  Also, one of my friends came to visit me, and with his style, he was full of energy, so for a week I felt like a tourist myself, showing him all the main attractions, but one I will never fail to enjoy is Los Fuentes de Montjuic, every time I see it, I realise why I love Barcelona as a city.

In regards to this blog title, I went to Els Museus del Nits (Museums at Night) which I have been too/worked at in the UK and so it was a nice change to see how they do it over here in Spain. We opted to see the Caixaforum gallery and the Joan Miró, and seeing the galleries at night definitely makes a difference.  However, I can say that the Joan Miró was definitely my favourite; due to the fact his permanent exhibition work was an eye opener as I´ve never been one for contemporary art, but when I read more into the reasoning’s behind his artwork and so, I was definitely amazed. I am glad I finally got to go to the gallery, seen as I have tried to go various times, but once I got lost and by the time me and my friend got there, it was closed. But it was worth the wait.

Alongside a night full of culture, I took part in the 5k Colo(u)r Run, which was very fun indeed. Although it was only 5k, so not the most challenging of runs, it had a great atmosphere and getting colour thrown at you can also be quite fun. It was also a nice route around Barcelona, with nice great views, and as usual I ended up having more photos of the scenery than the race itself. Luckily, this time was a bit easier to wash the colour out of my hair, unlike Holi, which meant I had green in my hair for at least a few days. So if you are ever in Barcelona around this time of year, it is something I would recommend taking part in, although there are many Color run´s around Europe also.

At the moment, I have also been very busy with work as its coming up to summer, so here´s the link to the articles on exhibitions etc that I have written about so far: RelevantBCN

 

27. Marrakech

This time last week I was in Marrakesh in Morocco and it was definitely and eye opener for me. From only having been within Europe and a few times to the Caribbean, there was definitely an immediate culture shock, yet it was a shock I am now glad I have experiences.

Obviously, Morocco is part of Africa, and in comparison to Europe it has a completely different way of life and religion. However, something that surprised me is that the people there speak both Arabic and French, but both equal amounts, which was useful as my I can say a few words in French, although my Arabic knowledge is nonexistent. A few things for me that I found very different to the way of life here in Europe, is that pedestrians do not have right of way, and therefore attempting to cross a road is a bit of a challenge, although zebra crossings do exist, despite the fact that the majority of them don´t actually lead anywhere. Another notable difference is the fact you have the haggle for everything, which actually made me appreciate fixed prices, so that I can look for what I want in peace. Although, a few times it can be a joke with you and the shopkeeper. Finally, when I first arrived in Morocco I was surprised as from the outside there didn´t seem to be any grand parks or buildings, as I began to learn that all the beautiful hidden gems are inside, and therefore the quote ´never judges a book by its cover´ definitely comes into play there.

Minus the differences I have noted about Marrakesh and Europe, it was a really great trip and we managed to get around a fair bit. We went to the Majorelle gardens, Menira gardens and obviously the main square, even though many people led us the wrong way, we eventually got there. One of my favourite places we visited was the Photography Museum, as not only was the inside something to see, but the terrace had one of the best views of Marrakesh. We also went to the Museum of Marrakech which was like a labyrinth of art and The Medersa Ben Youssef, which

was an Islamic college and is named after the Almoravid sultan Ali ibn Yusuf, who expanded the city and its influence considerably.

While I was there I also managed to ride a camel and have a spa experience which included a traditional hamam. Not only that but we managed to haggle for some shoes from the suks and also  typically buy some argan oil that is endemic to Morocco and some Saffron spice, which is about triple the price in the UK. So, all in all it was a new experience for me, but I would definitely recommend Marrakesh as a city escape and I look forward to experiencing more places like this in the future.

Now I only have two months left in the wonderful city,
that is Barcelona, so it´s time to make the most of it.

 

26. Memorias

Well, another week gone, one full of activities and all sorts but especially activities related to food, but I am not going to complain as these are the things that make up memories.

To start, I have learnt a very important lesson this week, one that I think I already knew. I have learnt that it is definitely not a good idea to go on an excursion the day after being out all night, especially ones that involves trains, cables cars and just any form of transport as with a hangover from hell, it just isn’t fun.
So basically, my flatmates and I had a party to celebrate their upcoming birthdays and the next day we headed to Montserrat. It was an experience being on a cable car, feeling like I might be sick any minute, but I guess I can tick that of my ‘experiences in Barcelona list'.  I had already been to Montserrat before, but it is such a lovely place that I didn’t mind one bit venturing there again. It was a lovely day, and to be honest it did cure my hangover, either that or the sun soaked the alcohol from my body.
Also, as I had previously stated, I have started my arts internship at RelevantBCN, and now a few of my articles are up on the website, my articles range from reviewing cafes hidden away in Barcelona to some of the most interesting exhibition on show at the moment and so I feel now wherever I go I feel inspired to write an article.

On that same creative note, here is  quote from the exhibition I saw the other week and to follow, a few of my memories that make up my experience in Barcelona so far, that don't need words.
“An image is only worth more than my words when it is so powerful that it can create an opinion. When it is really useful” – The diary of Colita, 11^th of August 1999

25. Holi Barcelona

(Español en los comentarios)
Well, what a weekend full of sun, lots of colour, and a bit of culture.

This weekend, I headed to a wonderful exhibition of COLITA, a well known Catalan photographer, and her photos from the past took me into a black and white journey of the life that once exisisted in Barcelona.

However, the highlight of my weekend was HOLI Barcelona, a colour festival with a bollywood theme in the mountains of Barcelona. The rule was to wear a white t-shirt and just turn up. We headed there early Sunday morning, and after not long we were throwing colour powder around and after an hour, you couldn’t even see my skin, I looked like a walking rainbow. But it was so much fun, to be in the fresh air, dancing around and watching bollywood dancing. The atmosphere was amazing and the crowd didn’t stop growing. It was a great way to celebrate the beginning of spring, in a city I still can’t get enough of.

Now, I can’t wait for the Colour run in May, running and colour, what more could a girl want.

24. Chocolate Caliente

(La versión español está en los comentarios)

Well, the last time I wrote on this blog was about Valencia, and what an amazing weekend that was, but since then I have finished my exams and the University of Pompeu Fabra, had a little visit home to do some house hunting and started my work placement. How times flies. I have also found it the right time to distinguish the difference between hot chocolate in the UK and Spain (well, Barcelona), but before I ramble about this very important issue, here is what I have been up to for the past few weeks:

Firstly, I have finished the University of Pompeu Fabra of which I spent six months in the faculty of translation, and although I am ready for something new, I will miss the university and the routine I had got accustomed too. It will also be a shock when I return to the UK, with the strict university rules and regulations once again taking over my life. But anyway, once my final exams were done I headed back to Manchester in order to find a house in Newcastle for next year. House hunting for university is definitely more stressful in the UK, unlike when I came to Barcelona and I had a flat in less than a week. If only the UK had this mentality.  Luckily for me however, I managed to find a place for me and friends and therefore I can breathe easy for the next few months. Not only did I do some house hunting, but I also managed to see a few friends and squeeze in a night out. I also managed to stock up on all foods British, such as, ‘full English’ and a ‘roast’ which I do miss in Barcelona. One of my favourite things of my visit was that I went to one of my favourite places for hot chocolate, which Is something that everyone who knows me knows that I can’t live without in life. It is a chocolatier place called Slattery’s, and I cannot recommend it enough. The hot chocolates are simply delicious. 

Now back to the reasoning behind this post, hot chocolate. The one thing my journey to the UK meant is I am yet to decide whether I prefer the hot chocolate in the UK or Spain, and I am a firm lover of all things hot and chocolatey. But first let me distinguish between the two:

In the UK when we say hot chocolate we mean: Chocolate powder with hot milk or water.

In Spain when you say ‘chocolate caliente’ which is the literal translation for hot chocolate you get: a cup of actual melted chocolate.





The only way you can get some form of our version in the UK is saying-

Colacao: which is the chocolate powder you put with hot milk, similar to the UK.
Or
Cacaolat: Catalan chocolate milk which is usually heated up.

So, I am just saying beware when you come to Spain as you may think you’ve asked for hot chocolate and you just get a spoon and a cup of melted chocolate. However, I am not complaining, as it is delicious but slightly sickly after a whole cup.

Moreover, It is now April and a turning point in my year abroad as I start my second part, a work placement. I am interning in an online magazine of arts and events called Relevant BCN, so my blog may be full of gallery reviews and events in Barcelona, just the way I like it. I am excited to start something new. Below is a link to the website, so watch out for my articles.

23. Las Fallas en Valencia

(Versión español en los comentarios )
As promised, here is my next blog post on Valencia, another weekend away, but this time in Spain. However, I now feel like a coach, flight or bus journey has become the norm for me, whereas in the past I was even reluctant to catch a train. Well, how times evolve. Although the official 'Las Fallas' (The burning of the structures) doesn't happen until the 19th of March, there was a million things going on throughout the weekend.

Basically, my flatmates and I headed to Valencia on the Friday night and we managed to survive the four hour bus journey, thanks to various snacks and a quick break. Although, to be honest, in comparison to the coaches I have been on in the UK, it felt like luxury. There was legroom, comfy seats and even televisions, so I ended up watching despicable me 2, with no sound and Spanish subtitles, a definite new experience for me. Once in Valencia, we headed to my friends flat, not too far from the centre, but as we were so tired we just opted for some tapas nearby and a nice walk around the area.

We woke up early on Saturday, and headed straight into the centre of town. The sun was shining and we had a long day ahead of us. We had no map of the city but luckily snapshots of various routes helped us through the day, those and various fireworks going off in the distance to distinguish the popular spots. We went into the centre via the metro, to go and see ‘La Mascletà’, which is a tradition of 'Las Fallas', which involves a lot of fireworks. All I can say is that it was amazing to watch, however I would recommend some earplugs. We also wandered around the streets and on every corner there was a 'Falla', a big structure of characters and images (see my photos below). No one can deny how impressive 'Las Fallas' were, I can’t imagine all the work that went into creating them. Not only that, but the streets were full of music and food stalls and the atmosphere was uplifting.

After nearly having our ears blown off, we then decided one thing we all wanted to see is the city of arts and sciences (Ciudad De Las Artes Y Las Ciencias). It is a range of museums with a peculiar architectural style dedicated to the arts and sciences, and one place I always see on postcards for Valencia, therefore it was a must for us. Although, as previously mentioned we didn’t have a map, so it’s fair to say we definitely used our legs that day. But it was worth it as the building designs are so impressive and for me it felt like I was in a future world or something. Anyhow, as it was quite late afternoon, we only went to see one of the expositions, but as science isn’t my strong point, I was worried I wouldn’t really understand anything. However, it was all very interactive, that I could have spent all day there.

Later at night, we went to ‘El Puente de Aragón’ which is a giant bridge situated next to a big wheel, to watch the fireworks. There was millions of people huddled around this area, singing, playing music and just being happy. By this time, we were all dead to the world, but we managed to stay awake until the fireworks, despite the fact I had fully lost my voice. It was worth the wait though, as I have never seen fireworks like it. To be honest, I have never seen so many fireworks in the space of two days, so it is something I will not forget anytime soon.

On Sunday, due to exhaustion and so on, we headed to the beach. Although, once again there was no map in sight, so it was a guessing game for us, but we eventually made it. Once there, we just relaxed in the sun and had a bit of a rest before heading to get the coach.

What a lovely weekend I had in Valencia, and what a beautiful city it is, although on the coach home, I was excited to return back to Barcelona.

Anyway, here is a video of what ‘Las Fallas’ entails:

22. Un Fin de Semana en Lyon

Well, the title gives this blog away, but yes I went away for the weekend to Lyon, not only to see the amazing city but also to visit my lovely friend who was here in Barcelona last semester. However, as everyone knows, the French language is not my strongpoint, despite the fact I have once studied it, but I got into a routine of saying ‘oui’ and ‘s'il vous plaît’

It was a short but sweet weekend, but I definitely enjoyed it, and to make things better, the weather was quite warm, so the sunglasses were out. I only arrived there Friday night, but with only a one hour flight from Barcelona, I wasn’t tired at all. As it was my first night, we decided to stay in and catch up on our lives and eat a meal that my friend has once promised me: Raclette. Which is meats and cheese with potatoes, however you melt the cheese on a machine and there it is. But it was so nice, and I love French cheese, I definitely think we ate a block each.

On the Saturday, we got up nice and early and headed into central Lyon, where we wandered the streets and walked alongside the river. I don’t really know what my opinion on France was before, but it was never on the top of my ‘to visit’ list, However I went to Paris last November, and now Lyon and I feel like I want to explore it more. One in the centre, we went to the main high-street of shops of the Place Bellecour and it was all so pretty. One thing that stood out for me, was the buildings. I really liked the architecture and the design of the streets. We also decided to go to a Vietnamese restaurant for lunch, which was nice, as I haven’t eaten that style of food since I was back in the uk, so it was a nice change.

We then headed to a cute café, where I ate an amazing chocolate tart, it was delicious. Not long after, we went home, after lots of walking around and discovering new places. Then, after a cup of tea and an ‘aperitif’, we headed out again, into Sant Etienne, which is the city my friend lives in. We headed to a nice restaurant with all her friends, which was a bit overwhelming at first as nobody spoke English or Spanish, but after a while we managed to communicate in some way or another. I opted for a salad, which sounds healthy, however it was full of cheese, meats and vegetables, but it was nice.

After the meal, we all decided to go bowling, It was about 1am but apparently there it stays open to god knows what time. So, there we went. I can say that I had such a good time, and who knew late night bowling would be so much fun. I am not sure if it exists in the UK, but it is definitely something I would be in too, and makes a changed for the usual club night.

On Sunday, the sun was still shining so we went for a barbecue at my friend’s parents’ house, and the food was amazing.  I tried various cheeses, which I can’t remember the name of and also some lovely desserts, which I would love to get the recipe of.

So there it is, my weekend in Sant Etienne/Lyon and what a good one it was. I am currently writing this as I prepare to go to Valencia, so watch out for my next post. Only three months left in the best experience of my life, so I better make the most of it.

21. Ball de Bastons

What a busy week, and it´s not over. But one of my newest experiences is of the Catalan Dance, Ball de Bastons. Here is a link to a group in Barcelona that practice this dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH5X1SFEMaE

Before I came to Barcelona I had never heard of this tradition, however it is clearly a big part of the Catalan culture and apparently English and Welsh Morris dancers are well-known relatives to this tradition. I went last Wednesday with my Catalan class, and it was definitely a new experience to me, especially as it involves sticks made of oak. Firstly, we all watched the experts do a dance and then we got up to join in ourselves. At the beginning the rhythm was hard to keep up with, and the fact that I was scared I may hit someone with my stick. However after a few dances, we all started to get the hang of it. I definitely recommend this dance to let out anger, seen as my partner was telling me to hit my stick at his harder. After an hour of dancing around, we finished the session and I definitely enjoyed it and I think my classmates did too. Well, a short and sweet post, but a nice memory.  

20. Sitges Carnival

 

I know when everyone thinks of the word Carnival, they think of Brazil, or atleast I did.

However, Spain showed me otherwise, and to be honest wowed me and what a weekend it was. Me and my friends decided to head to Sitges Carnival, as everyone we had spoken too, ad said it was the best around, and it didn´t disapoint.

Sitges is situated just thirty minutes by train from Barcelona and therefore, it wasn´t hard to get to. It is a beautiful town on the coast, and I have been there a few times before, but I have never seen anything like this. Sitges is known to be quite a wild and free place and it was certainly that.

We headed there at about four in the afternoon on Sunday, which gave us time to get over our hangovers from the night before. Although we went on the Sunday, there were festivities taking place all weekend, we chose the Sunday as there was the parade going through the town and it was something we all wanted to see.

As soon as we got there, the streets were full of balloons, banners and people in fancy dress.
It was like walking into a fairytale, everywhere we looked there was something going on, and the weather didn´t let us down, and there was no rain in sight. We went for a coffee and some churros, and not long after claimed a place next to the parade route.

We waited about an hour, as we had no idea where the route began, but it was worth it. When we heard the blasting music and saw sight of flashing lights and feathers, we knew the Carnival had arrived.

The costumes were amazing, each float had a
completely different theme and each one was
original. I have never seen a Carnival parade, so
I have nothing to compare it to, but by the look on everyone´s faces, we weren´t the only ones suprised. I can´t imagine how much work went into it. It went on for hours, and each float was just as entertaining as the one before.

Unfortunately we were very tired from the night before. But from the majority of what I saw, I can say it was a Carnival to remember, and I would love to come back next year.

19. Any Excuse for Food.

This weekend my lovely mother came to visit me, and it was a nice opportunity to venture round the city like a tourist, taking in all the surroundings. We also had our fair share of meals out, and therefore It has inspired me to write a blog post on some of my favourite places to eat out in Barcelona so far.

1. Le coq & The Burg

Well, this little gem is situated just five minutes away from 'La Sagrada Familia' and is full of surprises. Not only do they sell delicious burgers, they also have a mini brunch menu, which includes eggs benedict, and for any English person, this means it is now my new favourite place. Me and mum went here only last week, as we noticed it whilst on a walk. My mum opted for the veggie burger whilst I ordered the 'Luciana' which included aubergines, lettuce, cheese and sun dried tomatoes all on my burger. It was delicious. This place also sells smoothies and various desserts, such as a chocolate brownie. Therefore, I will be returning.



2. Milk



















Full English. There we go, enough said. For any English person there is nothing better than a full English. Not only that, but the portions were amazing and I felt nothing but satisfied when I left. It is also a great hangover cure. The only thing is that it doesn't have hash browns, which for me is a vital part of my full English. Therefore I am now on the lookout for one that includes hash browns in Barcelona. But anyway, this is definitely worth visiting!



3.La Barca de Salamanca

Well, it was last September when I last went here. I went with all my family and with a 'menú del día'
 for ten euros, no one can complain. It is also a three course meal with drinks and bread included, and the options range from paella to sardine,  arroz negre to steak. The choice is endless. Also, this place is situated on the port, and therefore you are right next to the beach for a nice walk after you're meal.



4.Petite Comite










I love this place. I went here for my birthday with my boyfriend, and we opted for  a tasting menu and what an amazing choice that was. we had about six different courses, each with a different type of wine or cava. It is not the cheapest of places but it is definitely worth what you pay. the food is unique and the service is impeccable. What makes it a bit different is that it is Catalan cuisine, and therefore it is something different from the usual tapas. I would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion. the 'Crema Catalana' was divine. 


5.Wok triomf






 













What is a list of restaurants without one all you can eat buffet. I went here with a group of friends for something different and it definitely surprised me. the rang of Chinese food, sushi and bits on the side was amazing. All I can say is, we definitely kept going back for more. It is also right near the Arc de Triomf and therefore it is easy to get too.
