This is a concert hall!🎵🎶It was built at the turn of the 20th century (1905-1908) for a Barcelona choral society, the Orfeó Català.👨👧👧 It was designed by architect Lluis Domenech Montaner (1849 - 1923) in pure “Modernisme Català” style (Catalan Art Nouveau).This year is the architect’s centennial 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ and we’ve been covering his work extensively, posting both on this concert hall and the spectacular Hospital de Sant Pau.

Do you believe street art affects only the wall on which it's painted? In my opinion, it does way more than that! I believe street art can transform the least appealing of surfaces into a beautiful urban landscape that brings color to your dreams! It makes all the difference! Nowhere is this more evident than in Penelles! This street art village in the Lleida area is only 2.5 hours 🚗 by car from Barcelona. Art is most welcome in Penelles. This fun mural by @djoels_graffiti_paint is not the only one the village has to boast! Art here has been shared by artists with locals and visitors from as early as 2016! Art is meant to be enjoyed by all, and not perceived as something elitist, over-complicated, and distant. So… do you believe in the power of art (of all kinds and forms!) to make our lives better?

Miró’s studio in Mallorca!
Am I entering a 🟨🟥🟦 colorful factory? No! Well… yes ❗️… in a sense!‼️ Welcome to the Sert Workshop (1956), Joan Miró’s “factory” of creativity, just outside 📍Palma de Mallorca. This huge studio, designed by Josep Lluis Sert, artist Joan Miró’s old friend, is what the painter 🧑🎨 had wished for for so many years: a space where he could work on his projects. What about you? Do you have a space of your own to give free rein to your creativity?

How about touring this ✨lovely place? It’d be great 🤩 to visit it with you! Over the years, I’ve guided many a family 👨👩👧👧 around the city that I've come to call home, and that I love dearly… Barcelona! Among the places that I ❤️ love the most is the deservedly super-famous Park Güell. ✨Lucky ✨as we are here in Catalonia, Barcelona is blessed with mild weather all year round. The Park Güell is always a feast for the eyes, never failing to please my travelers. After all, who wouldn’t enjoy the park’s ever-green vegetation, Gaudí’s trencadís broken tile mosaics, the gorgeous archways, and the gingerbread house?

👏👏👏Real Food! Want to enjoy some in a place that feels like home? There’s a place in Barcelona that I can never get enough of. In a quiet corner of the elegant La Dreta de l’Eixample neighborhood, is a little restaurant where I love sipping great Spanish natural wines 🍷and dig into a mouth-watering meal. This week, to open the dances, I tried (again!) the highly addictive butter-and-smoked sardine “soldadito”. I continued with 👏👏👏 superb duck magret and savored a very refreshing leek, mustard, and hazelnut salad. Would it be possible to not end on a sweet note? 🎵🎵 Of course not! Maritxu & Lara, the restaurant managers, conjured up before the featured irresistible 🧁dessert: rhubarb compote, mascarpone, and almonds. Believe me, it tastes even better than it it looks! Want to enjoy this… and ✨much more? 📍@norterestaurante ⌚️Lun - Vier de 8 a 16h Have I whetted your appetite?

Hide and paint🖌️? Paint and run? 🖌️🏃♂️ In this video featuring a mural @zabouartist, as well as another one by @harrybones, the portrayed artist has part of his face covered😷. This image made me 🤔 reflect a lot. Is it so because the artist 👨🎤needs to stay anonymous, assuming that the public at large still consider street art as not worthy of the label, “Art”? Is it still a kind of “paint and run” form of expression… kind of “let’s paint stealthily and then 🏃♂️run away… before we get caught?” Or, is it so because the artist chooses anonymity as a way to pursue a form of art striving to shun the commercialization of artistic creations? I’d ❤️ love you to share your thoughts with me in the comments 👇🏼 #penelles #penellesstreetart #penellesgraffiti #zabouartist #harrybones #gargarfestival2020 #gargarfestival2021 #gargarfestival #gargarfestival2023 #lleidastreetart #streetart #streetartcatalonia #streetartspain #streetarteurope #lleida #catalonia #igerscatalonia #unisonroutes #unisontips #urbanpoetry #ruralmural #streetarteverywhere #streetartaddicted #streetartphotography #artphotography #arttour #privatetour #privatetourguide #barcelonastreetarttour #explorebarcelona
