Read More gift-guide: for cheese-lovers Formatgeria La Seu For cheese-lovers there really is nothing more satisfying than the new discovery of a slab of the good stuff. Formatgeria La Seu is characterized by tailored service and a heartfelt passion for cheese, sourced from small farmers throughout Spain who are dedicated to using sustainable production methods. Read More gift-guide: openhouse fresh design Located in the classier district of Upper Raval, this British-run design store houses an eclectic mix of design ware from locally-based brands of International scope, from Barcelona-based Swedish jewellery designer Lo Lou, to delicate, understated paper bag lampshades by German label Raumgestalt. Read More A gift-guide for any occasion The finest offerings from Barcelona Over the countdown to Christmas we will be bringing you DestinationBCN’s top picks for the best and most original gifts available in the city, from gourmet food suggestions to original catalan designers, presenting you with a new gift-idea every day until 25th December. This list isn’t intended for exclusive use over the festive season but rather as a useful point of reference that can be used for any occasion, at any time of year. Enjoy! Read More Rekons An ode to pies One of the most enjoyable parts of this time of year is the urge to start battening down the hatches and plumping for hearty, warming dishes – comfort food that warms the cockles and melts the heart; chicken soup for the soul. Read More Culinary offerings Autumn delights In Spain, the shifting of the seasons is an organic and natural experience – residents go by what is available at the markets to set their seasonal clock. Slowly beginning to emerge in the markets throughout Barcelona are velvety mushrooms, artichokes, pears, pumpkins, chestnuts and sweet potatoes, marking the arrival of Autumn with their fuller, richer flavours and warming qualities. Read More Photogenic BCN top spots to watch the world go by... There is absolutely no doubt that Barcelona is an energetic, vibrant city, and of course, part of the fun of staying in such a lively place involves capturing the special places you encounter on your stay. Read More Photography - Brangulí An exploration of Catalunya Brangulí´s timeless black and white image offer us a powerful insight into an altogether mysterious Barcelona that would otherwise be unknown to us; of now-extinct Gitano neighbourhoods and celebrations-no-more, of lantern-lit watering holes staffed by elegant, be-suited waiters; of primitive fire-engines, mummified nuns perched upright outside churches, Fascist marches and Nazi propaganda, of thick, black pools of blood in dark alleys and faded smudges of figures that almost eluded the camera’s immortal gaze completely. Read More Spaahh... The finest places to soak in the city Barcelona is a city of the lean, the bronzed and the beautiful. Each year around May, citywide playas transform into one sheening mass of abs and perfectly formed curves, the altars of Barceloneta feverishly crammed by devout worshippers to the supreme gods of sunshine, general attractiveness and the horn. Read More Harlem Jazz Club For all your jazz needs After all is said and done, the smoking ban could have been detrimental to the overall health of jazz clubs – once defined as dark dens of iniquity where music laid heavy in the air as billowing plumes of smoke whipped around the musicians, audience wheezing and coughing ‘til dawn. Read More Tahiti in Barcelona Cocktails come to El Raval Despite a generally gloomy outlook for the Spanish economy, the last several months have seen a swell in Barcelona’s cocktail culture, perhaps as a way to drown our sorrows or - more optimistically - as a clink of the glass towards a brighter future. Read More El Palau de la Música A feast of light and colour Added as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997, el Palau de la Música is a sanctum of glass, mosaic and stone, a feast for the eyes. The building was originally created as the residence of the Orfeó Catalana, an important choral society dedicated to the preservation of native Catalan folk music, and now hosts concerts of all genres and styles as well as conferences, congresses and exhibitions. Read More Real Catalan Cuisine If you don´t like it, you can lump it However you look at it, La Tomaquera is “special”. There’s no telephone, they don’t accept reservations and if you ask to see the wine list, the waiter will march off chuckling to himself, later returning with a carafe of house wine - you’ll drink what they drink. And that’s after he’s served the locals at the table next to you first, even though they arrived ten minutes later. Read More Look who’s talking Original version cinemas in Barcelona You never know, you might get bored wondering through all that history, exploring the many galleries or original clothes shops; you might get tired of drinking cortados and watching the world and its weirdos and wonderfulos go by; you never know, it might even rain. Fear not, Barcelona has an alternative pastime, and fortunately, it’s an alternative to watching beautiful films on the big screen doblado-ed badly into Spanish. The city has VO (version original) cinemas to suit all tastes, and many languages (but mostly English). Read More Sipping in Penedès Wine tasting in and outside Barcelona Whether you are content to sip fine wines in an elegant environment within Barcelona or would rather go for a full stomping ruta de vino in the hills beyond, Catalunya is certainly not off the world-class map when it comes to turning grape-growing into wine-tasting.
