Christmas Recovery Plan

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Welcome back to real life. The holidays are almost finished, but here in Barcelona we still wait for the three wise men to arrive tomorrow night. We have been eating and drinking too much, we have received and given lots of gifts and as always we have a new list of resolutions for the new year …
I personally intend to start the year like this:

1. First of all, by thanking Santa for these wonderful gifts from “Made in Spain” fashion house Bimba and Lola.

2. Switch to healthy living to recover from the excesses (proposal: a cheap gym downtown where it’s not necessary to spend long sessions)

Basic Fit (www.basic-fit.es)
Address: C / Aragón,
Price: 15 € / month

3. And … Saving a little to spend on January 7, because that’s when the Winter Sale finally arrives to Barcelona!!!!!

I love my new gifts!

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

As I said earlier, I have just celebrated my birthday and there’s nothing better to overcome the sadness of growing old than to receive wonderful gifts! Here are 2 of my favorites: a pair of gray boots (Springfield) and a necklace that will accompany all my sweaters this winter (came in a surprise letter from Sweden). Thank you very much Anna and Ing-britt!

This 30 year old shop on the street Petritxol keep surprises me every time I visit it. It is the perfect shop for a gift or to just treat yourself with something special.

On the first floor will find all sorts of interior fittings of romantic and antique style. Everything seems to be perfectly positioned to make it easy for you to bring it home.

Go down one floor and you enter a fantasy world full of flowers, paper goods, toys and perfumes. Everything is colorful and original. You simply cannot leave Barcelona without visiting this shop!
And do not forget that you can eat chocolate with churros just across the street in La Granja La Pallaresa.

Address: C / Petritxol, 12 (close to Las Ramblas)
