Cementeri Montjiuc





We spent one of the last days in beautiful and sunny Barcelona with our friends in Cementeri Montjiuc. Besides meeting two dutch on a quest of tombspotting, we didn't meet any other living counscious souls. I also understand now why catalan people say you have a better view when dead and burried in this place since you all see is the calming sea.

Flavour Raval




Raval, the twin Neighbourhood of historic Barcelona has always been seen as the favela of the city (Barrio Gotico). Today, Raval hosts the MACBA, the CCCB a branch of the Univesidad de Barcelona, and right next to the place where we took both of these pictures (carrer de Sant Pau), the Catalunya Film Archieve is being built at this very moment. Even with all this attempts to change the flavour of this historic neighbourhood, Raval remaines the same old, the home of many prostitutes, stolen bikeshops, abdulaches, bazares, fruterias and narrow streets always crowded with people from all around the world and filled with spicy smells. It is the place where we spent our wonderful time in Barcelona and the place we will truly miss once we leave the city.
