Give us our daily bravas

Potatoes - what's not to love - fried, boiled, baked, roasted...hola patatas bravas! 
And so began my conversion to the faith of the Bravas, an overnight dedicated, worshipper. My quest while in Barcelona - to find the best bravas.

A quest seemingly easy upon undertaking however not so in achieving because there is no such thing as a bad bravas.  Some are just better than others. 

The bravas which are better than others and will not disappoint can be found at the gorgeous and very quaint Casa Lolea and the fabulous and rather bold Martinez.  You too will be converted and want your daily serve of bravas - Amen xx

The art of graffiti

It's everywhere. So noticeable and prominent in places you'd never expect or understand why.  Then like anything you see over and over again, it slowly melts into the subconscious, one's awareness increasingly softening to it's presence. 

The art of graffiti in Barcelona is quite something.  From the murals on the roller doors of the various shop fronts to the random scrawls on apartment front doors, it's very much an accepted, unique part of Barcelona's visual, free expression. A true gift to be able to express oneself freely and without repercussions.
