Vip Experiences in Barcelona VIP EXPERIENCES IN BARCELONA 7 PM – 8.30 PM Exclusive guided visit to La Pedrera / Nov – Feb Transfer to la Pedrera on your own (Easily by taxi) La Pedrera is one of the best-known works of the architect Gaudí, and is one of the symbols of Barcelona. It was built between 1906 and 1912, and consists of a succession of stone walls on the outside, while the interior has two painted courtyards, columns and a range of rooms. There are large windows and iron balconies set into the undulating façade. On the roof, meanwhile, there are chimneys and sculptures which are works of art in themselves, as well as a splendid view of the Paseo de Gràcia Avenue. The building has been declared a World Heritage, and is the pinnacle of Modernist techniques and tendencies. Antoni Gaudí is one of the world’s most renowned architects, and a trip to Barcelona must include a visit of at least one of his famed modernist buildings, of which La Pedrera (or Casa Milà) is one of the most well-known and the second most visited museum in Barcelona. During the calm hours at sunset, this intimate and private tour will unveil to you the building's secrets not seen on daytime visits. See how residents lived in this beautiful building 100 years ago; visit several rooms; and enjoy outstanding views of La Sagrada Familia and the Barcelona skyline from the roof. Your after-hours tour of La Pedrera starts in the residential building in the Provenca street courtyard. Hear about the building’s most significant features and see a display of the elements that inspired Gaudí’s design. Look through the windows and watch the first shadow projection – a scene depicting the life of La Pedrera’s doorman and his family, who lived in the building. Then continue to the balcony to admire the building’s beautiful elements, such as the pillars structures, open floor plan and large openings on the façade. Here, watch another projection depicting Pere Milà (the man for whom La Pedrera was built) preparing for dinner. Next, follow your tour guide to the fourth floor to see the apartment rented by a bourgeois gentleman – an apartment characterized by well-decorated rooms of irregular shapes. Learn about the daily life and cultural aspects of the early 20th century from your guide as you visit another apartment; then visit the loft, which servants used to do the laundry, as another projection will show you. Continue up to the roof and wander under the catenary arches typical of Gaudí. See how the architect used the technological innovations of the time to create geometrical spaces inspired by nature. Admire the famous sculptures known as the Soldiers that overlook the city, and take in views of La Sagrada Familia and the twinkling Barcelona skyline from the attic. Finally, head back down to the courtyard to end your tour with a glass of Champagne. **There may be other small groups also visiting la Pedrera (but not at the same time as your visit, you may see them at the beginning or at the end of your tour) Nov to Feb: Visits from 7 PM to 10:30 PM / Last visit: 9 PM (Wed - Saturday) March to Oct: Visits from 8:30 PM to midnight / Last visit: 10:30 PM (All week) 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM Helicopter Sky Tour of Barcelona and Montserrat Your driver will be waiting for you outside the main entrance of the hotel Transfer to the Helicopter take off platform at the port area (Moll adossat) 10:30 AM Enjoy a 35 minute helicopter ride (4 pax minimum and 6 pax maximum) Taking off from the sea, we will fly over Barcelona to discover the main attractions of the city and then we’ll fly to the impressive Montserrat mountain. Montserrat is the most important and mysterious mountain of Catalonia, with a notable number of churches and shrines, known for its Benedictine monastery dedicated to the Virgin of Montserrat: “La Moreneta”. Duration: • Total duration of 60 minutes approx. experience. • Flight Duration: 35 minutes 11:05 AM Arrive back to the platform 9:30 AM - 1:30 PM Antiques Tour (Mond- Sat) 9.30 AM Meet your host at hotel lobby One thing Barcelona is great for is coming across a hidden gem when you least expect it. This could be a tucked away tapas restaurant with the best jamón you've ever tasted, an intricately hand carved wooden door equipped with a keyhole the size of your fist or an ancient bodega that looks like it's stocking the same barrels of wine from Medieval times. Well the same applies to the antique shops. Complemented by their visually appealing backdrop of stores with colorfully tiled floors, pillars and interior patios, these antique stores are definitely worth a visit. Barcelona has an original style all its own. Most of Europe’s major design trends made their way here were influenced by Catalonian sensibilities, and emerged distinctively different. Which makes shopping for antiques in Barcelona especially enjoyable. The treasures you find here will be truly unique. Barcelona has some excellent antiques to offer but you need to know where to find them. With your host, you will visit some of the most important and unique antique shops in Barcelona. Barcelona’s antique shops are grouped together on several streets, most of which are in the charming Gothic Quarter or Bari Gotic. You’ll find everything from antique dealers selling museum-quality furniture to vintage clothing stores. Carrer del Banys Nous is the traditional home of Barcelona’s antique shops, although lately, some hip clothing boutiques have been creeping in. You’ll find teacups, tapestries, and vintage fashion. In addition to its antique shops, Barcelona has several markets that sell antiques of varying quality. Be sure to leave yourself enough time to do some treasure hunting in the city’s charming antique shops! 10 AM – 2 PM Barcelona Art Experience Tour / NO SUNDAYS OR HOLIDAYS 10 AM Meet your host at hotel lobby. Our Barcelona Art Experience is a unique and exclusive tour in Barcelona. It is composed of a circuit of 3 visits around Barcelona`s Realist Contemporary Art movement. This tour intends to cover the whole artistic process of these contemporary artists: learning, creation and exhibit of their work. FIRST VISIT: VISIT TO MEAM, EUROPEAN MUSEUM OF MODERN ART You’ll start the tour by visiting the MEAM, where you’ll find the best works of art of the Contemporary Figurative Art style. MEAM is owned by The Foundation of Arts and Artists whose final purpose is to promote and spread out the Figurative Art of the 20th and 21st centuries. MEAM’s aim is to find a new contemporary language that does not deny tradition but evolves from it to delve into the new century. The Foundation organizes the Figurative Paint and Sculpture Awards on a yearly basis, an opportunity for contemporary figurative artists to show their art to the world. One of MEAM’s differentiating characteristics is its support to figurative artists. Usually these pieces of art are not on show in other museums, foundations or institutions. SECOND VISIT: VISIT TO BARCELONA ACADEMY OF ART You’ll continue the tour by visiting Barcelona´s Academy of Art, the first Spanish school devoted to teaching drawing, painting and sculpting techniques, with a complete curriculum and a methodology deriving from the classic-realist tradition. During this visit you’ll see how the future classic-realist artists from Barcelona are taught. THIRD VISIT: THE WORKSHOPS This is one of the most exciting moments of the Tour. You’ll get to see the artists in action, doing what they love, and thus you’ll witness how they spend their daily life in Barcelona. You’ll be able to talk to them and observe their artistic processes. Our Barcelona Art Experience guarantees a unique experience, far from big crowds, bringing the artists closer to citizens. Only a small part of the people that visit Barcelona has access to this type of experience, due to the fact that these visits are extremely exclusive and personalized in order not to interrupt the daily life of the artists nor disturb their inspiration. Visiting the artists’ workshops and sometimes even their homes creates the need for these visits to be very exclusive, carefully selected and restricted. Barcelona Lifestyle Walking Tour / MONDAY - SATURDAY Meet your host at hotel lobby Barcelona has an irresistible energy: you feel it on the bustling streets and market squares; you see it in the incredible architecture and museums; you taste it in the fabulous food; you live it in the legendary nightlife.

Learn about Barcelona’s lifestyle sampling local delicatessen with a local resident.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups). New Banner, Basilica of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll Proceedings of the 24th International Congress of Vexillology, Washington, D.C., USA 1–5 August 2011 © 2011 North American Vexillological Association (www.nava.org) 506 Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Background At the 20th International Conference of Vexillology in Stockholm in 2003, Wladyslaw Serwatowski presented the paper “Was Antonio Gaudí i Cornet (1852–1936) a Vexillographer?” in which he analyzed the vexillological works of the Catalan architectural genius Gaudí.

This principle is enshrined in the “Barcelona declaration: the city and people with disabilities” that to date has been signed by 400 European cities. There are many Catalan companies and destinations that have adapted their products and services accordingly.

  • Modernist Movement
    THE MODERNIST MOVEMENT MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE MODERNISMIN ARCHITECTURE AND THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS AND, CONSEQUENTLY, IN DESIGN, CAN BE CONSIDERED THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTISTIC MOVEMENT IN MODERN CATALAN CULTURE. THE MODERNIST MOVEMENT are not only important as architects but also for their extensive humanistic training. Although Gaudí had the same training, his circumstances were very dif- ferent from those of the others. Our study of this architectural movement must be seen as a debate with the central idea of Gaudí, of whom we spoke in the odernism in architecture and the first issue of this magazine, as a count- sought with faith and courage and industrial arts and, consequently, erpoint to the other two architects, without renouncing the past.

  • Social Structure of Catalonia
    THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF CATALONIA By SALVADOR GINER 1984 THE ANGLO-CATALAN SOCIETY THE ANGLO-CATALAN SOCIETY OCCASIONAL PUBLICATIONS No 1. Salvador Giner. The Social Structure of Catalonia. No 2. J Salvat-Papasseit. Selected Poems. Translated with an Introduction by D. Keown and T. Owen. © Salvador Giner, 1980. Printed by The University of Sheffield Printing Unit. Cover design by Joan Gili. ISSN No. 0144-5863 ISBN No. 09507137 08 IN MEMORIAM JOSEP MARIA BATISTA I ROCA (1895-1978) Dr. J. M. Batista i Roca, founder member of the Anglo-Catalan Society and its first Honorary Life President, always hoped that the Society would at some stage be able to publish some of the work of its members and guest speakers. Unfortunately this was never possible during his lifetime, but now that the Society, with the help of a grant from Omnium Cultural, is undertaking the publication of Occasional Papers it seems appropriate that this Series as a whole should be dedicated to the fond memory which the Society holds of him. CONTENTS Foreword 1 I. The historical roots of an open society. 4 II. Social classes and the rise of Catalan industrial capitalism. 15 III. A broken progress. 28 IV. The structure and change of Catalan society, 1939-1980. 38 V. The reconquest of democracy. 54 VI. The future of the Catalans. 65 Appendices. Maps. 75 A Select Bibliography. 77 FOREWORD A la memòria de Josep Maria Sariola i Bosch, català com cal The following essay is based on a lecture given at a meeting of the Anglo- Catalan Society in November 1979* Members of the Society's Committee kindly suggested that I write up the ideas presented at that meeting so that they could be published under its auspices in a series of Occasional Papers then being planned.
