'This is what getting to know the city is all about' said two clients who are here on an extended stay. In every destination they visit, they order a bespoke book to keep photos and other momentos. Only the best will do, so we made appointment with master bookbinder Jose Cambras, who is going to craft them a one-off book they will treasure forever.

First visit today to Manifesta 15, the travelling bienal that will be on in Barcelona for the coming months.Manifesta is staged everywhere but with there main venues. The largest is the landmark Three Chimneys (or 'Chernobyl' as the locals call it) and seeing its brutalist shell up close was stunning enough - and the perfect backdrop for the ecological theme that runs though the exhibits. Throw in a great outdoor bar and coastal views and you have the perfect day out.
