Sagrada Familia

Today I went to see the Sagrada Familia, it's just a few stops from the Passeig de Gracia Metro station. The entrance fee is 13€ / students 10€ and I would strongly recommend the extra 3€ for the audio guide. It explains the story of the construction of the church as well as Gaudi's life and thoughts when he designed this extraordinary church.

The museum is situated below the church, especially worthwhile are the models with strings that Gaudi used to view the impact of the weights on the pillars.

Cadaqués a city where you can enjoy Dalí

Figueres is a town about 136km north from Barcelona. Here you find the incredible and fantastic Museo de Dalí.

On the remains of the "Teatro de Figueres", in 1974, the Dali Museum was built. Especially worthwhile are his early works, like the whole sur-realistic boom that he was able to create.

We suggest to spend some good hours to explore all the areas and above, all immerse yourself in the areas that he specifically designed for the viewers to transport themselves to a unique and extravagant world!

You can arrive by car or by train from Barcelona. The train you can take in "Sants Station" or "Passeig de Gracia" station. The train is the line "Barcelona-Portbou-Cervera"

The address of the Museum is Plaça Gala i Salvador Dalí, number 5 in Figueres.

Do you dare to take a dinner in the dark?

We find this news in our city:

The restaurant "Dans le Noir?" inaugurates this new year in Barcelona one of its unique places where customers are served in blind darkness. In this environment, the waiters become the guides of their guests, who are forced to enjoy the taste of the food without seeing what exactly they are eating.

"Dans le Noir?" is located in Passeig Picasso 10 near Parque Ciutadella.

Do you dare to take the dinner in the dark?

Rodin in Barcelona

The "Obra Social La Caixa" in collaboration with the Ajuntament de Barcelona made it possible to bring the best and most notable Rodin sculptures to Barcelona.

The exhibition "Arte en la calle. Auguste Rodin en Barcelona", displays seven sculptures from the Rodin Museum in Paris:

The Thinker (which the artist initially conceived to be part of the sculpture of the "Gates of Hell" but eventually became an independent statue) is acompanied by six studies. The six great men that form the "Monument to the Burghers of Calais".
The objective of this street exhibition is to return the statues to the public spaces and with that, provoke a dialogue with the architecture and people.

Rodin probably would have like this, as he conceived his sculptures to be exhibited outdoors.

The seven monumental sculptures in the exhibition "Arte en la calle. Auguste Rodin en Barcelona" are installed on Rambla de Catalunya, between Consell de Cent street and Diputacion. You can see them from December 18th 2009 to February 6th of 2010.
