This weekend we all traveled up to Els Monjos which is a quaint Catalan town near Vilafranca Del Penedes to enjoy a Calçotada (pronounced Calsotada, the ‘ç’ is known as a truncated ‘c’ in Catalan).

This will hopefully bring to an end the distressing and sometimes frustrating feeling of having to wear wet swim wear until it drys off. The other advantage is the opportunity to store your personal effects, again something that causes much consternation when Barcelona visiting beaches. Read the rest…

It is hard to believe that almost 20 years after his death the great Salvador Dali does not have a single space in the Catalan capital that bears his name.
