Alma de marinera
by andal13
Soul of sailor... Barcelona is a big and busy city, full of life, eclectic, mottled, a melting pot, a cultural puzzle... Gotic and futuristic, it seduces you and awes you... like the Mediterranean sea where Barcelona dips its feet...
Alma de marinera... Barcelona es una ciudad grande y bulliciosa, llena de vida, ecléctica, abigarrada, un crisol de razas, un rompecabezas cultural... Gótica y futurista, te seduce y te atemoriza... como el Mediterráneo en el que Barcelona moja sus pies... "And you come close, and you leave
after kissing my village,
playing with the tide,
you leave thinking of coming back,
you are like a woman
perfumy with tar,
that one misses and one loves,
that one knows and one awes..."
"Mediterráneo" (Joan Manuel Serrat)
"Y te acercas, y te vas
después de besar mi aldea,
jugando con la marea
te vas pensando en volver,
eres como una mujer
perfumadita de brea
que se añora y se quiere,
que se conoce y se teme..."
"Mediterráneo" (Joan Manuel Serrat)

Nice little museum off Paseig de Gracia
by svetik2000
If you go to Passeig de Gracia area and walk down from Plaza Catalunya towards Diagonal you no doubt will be attracted by Gaudi masterpieces, and those whose mind is in other things - by the excellent shopping opportunities. However, when you've passed both Gaudi buildlings and some shops, you just need to turn right to the street Victoria to find a wonderful little gem of a museum - museum of Egyptian art which is not very large and thus very managable, and it doesn't seem to draw huge crowds, so you can get some peace and quiet in its cool halls exploring the objects ranging from jewellery to mummies to coffins, etc. When I came there, it turned out I was the only visitor at that particular time, and you know what - if felt wonderful, to have the whole museum just to myself!

The Venue for our 1st PJ show was the spectacular Palau St. Jordi, which is at the very top of Montjuic. The building is beautiful, a work of art. It's got the shape of a dragon --St. Jordi's (George's) Dragon.
