He has been everything that one could ask for in a mentor: knowledgeable of the subject and process, available while giving me space, excited about the work, and always open to meeting over beers. As well, he has opened up his life and family to Jenny and me, and we are forever grateful to him, Arantxa, Laia, and Montserrat. Joan Miquel Verd for his friendship, guidance, and methodological expertise. Thank you for responding to my email 4 years ago saying that there was a place for me at the UAB. That simple act changed my life. Jenny McKenzie, my everything. For agreeing enthusiastically to come on this adventure with me and charter the unknown waters together. Thank you for getting me out of the apartment and on top of mountains, inside old monasteries, next to Roman ruins, past olive groves, among the mushrooms, within the Mediterranean, above the fjords, and across the glaciers to find you waiting on the dance floor. The famous Carme Clapes for her tenacity, intellectual knowledge, and heart, whose size is matched only by her personality. Without her, this investigation would not have happened. A deep bow to all that is Carme Clapes, and all that she does. Astou Toure for translations, cultural knowledge, and her quiet, yet powerful presence. Her intelligence and perseverance are only matched by the strength she carries inside her. Without her, this investigation would have never spread its wings. The El Xiprer staff (especially Ignacio Fernandez) for their daily work of caring for those most on the fringes of society. A group that proudly wears their badges of compassion on their chest, offering an example for the rest of us to follow. May the cypress tree (el Xiprer) continue to grow both above and below the ground. David Perez for his insight, compassion, and smile, whose daily routine is to check in on those less fortunate, which he does with grace and kindness. Paco Cruz for his honesty and candidness. In a world of political correctness, his voice was refreshing. Julián Porras Bulla for his expertise, advice, thoughtfulness and friendship (along with weekend outings with Andrea García-Santesmases). There is nobody I would rather talk trash with in Barcelona then Julián, and without Andrea, Julián and I would never know what each other are saying. Ryan Huggins whose insight helped me understand the cultural and social complexities of the Senegal community. I smell whiskey in our future! (& not the kind you normally drink). Isabel Hernández de la Rosa and Elisabet Rodriguez Domingo for acting as a lighthouse to guide me through the seas of bureaucracy. I would have drowned without you. II Clara Llorens Serrano, my BFF in Terrassa & her BFF Alberto Pastor Martínez. It’s a lonely world when you know few people. You two have opened up your hearts, homes, and lives to Jenny and me, and we hold you close to our hearts. May an endless supply of tomatoes fill your pantry. We look forward to more adventures in the future! Carme Clapes #2 and Pablo Carballo Chaves (the Tinder monk) for helping me with translations and offering friendship. I would still be using Google translate trying to understand what was said. Federico Demaria, Mauricio Chemás (Señor Rendón), Anna Karin Giannotta, Blanca Callén, Nina Clausager, and the rest of the Investigadores de chatarreros. Keep up the Good work. The Chatarreros of Granollers, for opening up their lives to a stranger, and the bravery they demonstrate each day of their lives just to stay alive. You are not in(Visible). I see you. This research includes some of the results of the project "Exploratory analysis of informal waste collection in the city of Granollers," carried out by an agreement between the Autonomous University of Barcelona, ECOEMBES and the Agència de Residus de Catalunya (Waste Agency of Catalonia) (agreement no. 16881). We especially thank the ECOEMBES Catalan office for its support in financing this agreement, and to the board members of the Agència de Residus de Catalunya for their genuine interest in the project.

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.

  • Barcelona Is Much More
    DISCOVER WINE TOURISM BARCELONA IS MUCH MORE DISCOVER THE JOYS OF WINE TOURISM Although it may seem a modern form of tourism, wine tourism has actually been popular in the Barcelona regions for some time. Back in the early 20th century, our grandparents visited the cellers in a covered trap that ran between the train station and the winery. Another popular custom was to go to a winery on public holidays, where, if you bought something, they would let you cook your own food. That's a thing of the past now and many wineries cater for organised tours, not just to promote their products, but also to familiarise visitors with the world of wine and cava. Some establishments, country houses and winery hotels offer programmes that enable visitors to join in with the work, enjoy wine therapy treatments and take part in tastings and pairings with wine as the star. And for those who like to keep moving, wine tourism offers the chance to do some hiking or cycling on signposted paths through vineyards a stone's throw from Barcelona. Thanks to all this, Barcelona is much more: a destination full of surprises! If you are a lover of fine wine or simply curious about them, you should know that Barcelona has five designations of origin: Penedès, Alella, Pla de Bages, Catalunya and Cava. Each of them produces high- quality wine and cava. At some wineries quality wine is coupled with beautiful PHOTOGRAPHS: architecture because they are Caves Codorníu, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia either Art Nouveau buildings Caves Codorníu, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia from the early 20th Century Vineyards, Vilassar de Dalt or avant-garde structures Mas de Sant Iscle, Sant Fruitós de Bages Caves Freixenet, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia designed by prestigious Vineyards, El Penedès architects.

  • Determinants of Waste Generation Per Capita in Catalonia (North-Eastern Spain): the Role of Seasonal Population
    European Journal of Sustainable Development (2016), 5, 3, 489-504 ISSN: 2239-5938 Doi: 10.14207/ejsd.2016.v5n3p489 Determinants of waste generation per capita in Catalonia (North-eastern Spain): the role of seasonal population Òscar Saladié1 Abstract Seasonal population is not taken into account in waste management policies and regional differences in waste generation per capita are magnified. Here I analyze the differences among the Catalan counties (North-eastern Spain) and I compare the results if seasonal population is added or not to the resident people. Waste generation per capita in tourist areas is overestimated and actually the differences among the counties are lower than those indicated in the official data. Only reliable data will allow determining the reasons of differences in waste generation per capita and stablishing more precise objectives in waste management policies. There is a positive correlation between municipal waste generation per capita and the services sector’s contribution to GDP, a negative correlation with the percentage of population over 64 and no correlation with income per capita. Finally, taking into account territorial factors, the lowest waste generation per capita corresponds to counties with very low population densities located in inland Catalonia. Key words: Municipal waste management, seasonal population, determinants of waste generation per capita, Catalonia 1. Introduction There are broad typologies of waste, all with varying behaviour related to environmental agents, potential evolution over time and impacts on environment and human health. The natural ecosystem’s capacity to receive and incorporate waste is limited, and exceeding it can become a serious environmental problem. Waste can be harmful to human health and animal and plant life and may also affect soil, ground water and air quality, including global warming and inadequate management can compromise the sustainability of our development.

  • Cambios En Los Usos Del Suelo En El Maresme, Provincia De Barcelona (1850-2007)
    Cambios en los usos del suelo en El Maresme, provincia de Barcelona (1850-2007) Lluís PARCERISAS BENEDÉ Departamento de Historia e Instituciones Económicas. Universitat de Barcelona RESUMEN: Este artículo reconstruye la evolución del paisaje de la comarca catalana litoral de El Maresme desde los años de 1850 hasta la actualidad, mediante la aplica- ción de herramientas SIG a la cartografía catastral histórica y los mapas digitales de usos del suelo en la actualidad. Los resultados muestran una coexistencia integrada, aunque también muy dinámica y cambiante, entre diversas cubiertas forestales, agrí- colas, hortícolas y residenciales hasta mediados del siglo XX. La llegada del franquis- mo supuso, en primer lugar, una quiebra de la lógica económica y ecológica de los cultivos, y, más adelante, a partir de los años 60, una ruptura de aquella integración y una polarización creciente de los usos del suelo que ha perdurado también durante los años de democracia, debido a una deficiente ordenación territorial, que ha com- portado una eco-ineficiencia territorial creciente y una pérdida sustancial de peso del entorno agrario.

  • TERMINOLOGY USED by CATALAN BASKET-MAKERS Dolores Soriano
    TERMINOLOGY USED BY CATALAN BASKET-MAKERS Dolores Soriano 'I'he Catalan terminology for basketry is different from the Spanish terminology. The Catalan, unlike the Spanish has one special name for each part of the basket. This terminolgy was collected from the Catalan basket-makers all around Zatalonia, in different fields of basket work, during the years 1978, 1979 and 1980. The terminology and the techniques use11 now by the Catalan basket-makers are snown in this report. I. TECHNIQUES OF BASKETRY USED BY CATALAN BASKET-MAKERS. 1. Woven Technique ("Tecnica Teixida" ) . 1.1. Diagonal braiding of two directions ("Diagonal de dues direccions") . Or twilled work. - In this technique each element of the weft passes over one, two or more warp elements. Both warp and weft strands are brought together in pairs and one twined about the other. Use: to make the plaited strand of alfalfa and palmetto Geographical localization: Marseme (Tordera), Baix Ebre (Els Reguers, Beni- fallet, Alfara dels Ports), Baix ~m~ord: ('I'orroella de Montgri) and ~onsi; (~2s de Barberans) . 1.2. Diagonal weave of three directions: triangular weave ("Diagonal composta de tres directions") . The warp is made by a pair of rods, knotted to a hoop of iron with a nylon thread. Each pair is spread at a 45O angle: 'The one on the right runs downwards and the left upwards. One rod goes up spirally to the hoop of iron and is tied to the rest of the warp with a nylon thread, forming a series of triangular structures. Use: the baskets made with myrtle, rush and cane are used for fishing: basket of fish ("gambines" ) , lobster- pot ("nansa," "cistella de peix") .
