...because of this beautiful zen yoga den...













... tucked down a little side street in El Born is a small Yoga school. The classes are excellent and they take place in a beautiful old building which has been converted into a serene and peaceful space to practice and learn. Bliss!

...beacause of the shop front windows of Vinçon...





















...they are a clever and kooky mix of product and art.  Creations made to confront and confuse.  They are as unique as the store itself,  a place always full of interesting, beautiful, useful and quirky things for your home.

...because of a little bambino in Barceloneta...





















...in a bar where the Bambino lives on, a flamenco singing legend . Run by la Leo, who used to dance flamenco with Bambino. This is a unique icon of Barceloneta... colourful characters, good tapas, cheap drinks and some rockin' 60s tunes coming from the jukebox.

... because Baqueira is beautiful....

















... from Viehla to Baqueira, the Val D'Aran is a picturesque valley peppered with medieval villages.  A place beautiful in the sunshine and in the snowfall... and only 3.5 hours from Barcelona.
