Stop by in the morning and order a Xuixo, an amazing custard-filled pastry dusted with sugar that may have inspired the cronut. Other musts here are the rabbit ribs, cockles, and garbanzo beans with morcilla – and wash it all down with a Catalan cava.

  • 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.

  • Memory of the City – Layers of the City. Spanish Examples
    DOI: 10.4467/2353737XCT.16.180.5791 MATEUSZ GYURKOVICH* MEMORY OF THE CITY – LAYERS OF THE CITY. SPANISH EXAMPLES PAMIĘĆ MIASTA – WARSTWY MIASTA. PRZYKŁADY HISZPAŃSKIE Abstract Some cities have incessantly teemed with life for centuries, even for millennia. Currently, the oldest inhabited urban settlements are deemed to be those located in the Old World. Their contemporary layouts are very different to how they were originally, this is very often hidden in relics which attest to the older layers. Searching for such layers is a fascinating task. Sometimes, they can be found in the layout of public spaces, or in the architecture of historic buildings and complexes. Others remain deeply concealed underneath the surface of streets, squares, pavements, and parks. Most frequently, the exposure of larger parts of the remains of old architectural and urban structures is not easy due to the need to secure efficient functioning of the contemporary urban tissue. Architectural and archaeological reserves established especially in Europe, help to restore the lost memory of the city by exhibiting its historic layers. Keywords: city lifespan, urban tissue, archaeological and architectural reserve, excavations, museum Streszczenie Niektóre miasta nieprzerwanie tętnią życiem od wieków, nawet od tysiącleci. Obecnie za najstarsze wciąż zamieszkiwane miasta uważa się te położone w Starym Świecie. Ich współczesna struktura przestrzenna daleko odbiega od pierwotnych układów. Bardzo często ukrywa w sobie relikty świadczące o dawniejszych nawarstwieniach. Poszukiwanie tych warstw jest zajęciem fascynującym. Niekiedy można je odnaleźć w układzie przestrzeni publicznych czy w architekturze zabytkowych budynków i zespołów. Inne pozostają głęboko ukryte pod powierzchnią ulic, placów, chodników i parków. Najczęściej ekspozycja większych fragmentów pozostałości dawnych struktur architektoniczno-urbanistycznych nie jest łatwa ze względu na prawidłowe funkcjonowanie współczesnej tkanki miejskiej.
