Visit us anytime at www.SuiteLife.es 3 SuiteLife’s The Barcelona Bible: The 10 Commandments Things you have to do while in BCN. 1. Thou shall visit the Gaudí Buildings and Park: Must Sees. Antonio Gaudí (1852-1926) is probably the most famous Catalán. He deeply transformed BCN’s architecture while leaving his mark on the 20th century. This visionary’s work was heavily inspired by his fascination with nature. Another of his obsessions was yogurt, eating it daily, over 60 years before it became popular. His critics (and there were many in the early days) loved to ridicule that his designs must have been inspired by the mold growing on his yogurt, which he infamously kept in large jars in his home. Either way, Gaudí’s life was cut short when on the 7th of June 1926, when he was hit and run over by a tram. Sagrada Familia Financed only with private funds, Gaudí’s masterpiece and obsession, started in 1882, is still unfinished! It greets over 2.5 million visitors per year. Symbolism is everywhere so take a good look (for a few €’s an audio guide will explain it all). The older side of the church, the part he actually worked on, is far superior. No need to pay entrance, the outside is the best part. Take a leisurely walk around the whole church and enjoy. Metro: L2/L5 “Sagrada Familia”. Casa Batlló Entering Casa Batlló is like exploring an underwater world, getting lost in a seashell, or diving into Monet’s “Water Lillies”. Built between 1904 and 1906 and on the UNESCO World Heritage List, Casa Batlló’s otherworldly façade noticeably sticks out amongst the other Paseo de Gracia buildings. By playing with lighting and interior design, Gaudí managed to create the impression that visitors are undulating in streams of joy and colour. Concentrate on the ceilings and feel like a mermaid. Paseo de Gracia 43. SuiteLife Barcelona is a full service apartment rentals agency. Visit us anytime at www.SuiteLife.es 4 La Pedrera From the outside it looks like a giant wave, from the inside a huge mushroom, or a sand palace, or… well, you decide. It was built between 1906 and 1910 for the über wealthy Mila family. The original design was rejected by the Ayuntamiento (the municipal governing body) for being too far from the general aesthetic of the most posh street in the city. It’s now owned by Caixa Catalunya and hosts a Gaudí museum that opens from 9am to 8pm. Paseo de Gracia 92 Parc Güell Another one on the UNESCO World Heritage list! It was originally planned as a very exclusive gated community but Count Eusebi Güell (the very wealthy owner) couldn’t find anyone who was too interested in building homes there and it was later donated to the city as a public park. Woody Allen shot scenes there for his film “Vicky Christina Barcelona”. Go about an hour before sunset (sunrise is impossible as it opens at 10:00). Enjoy the exquisite view of the city and then follow the winding paths to explore the wonderland that only Gaudí could have conceived. Take the obligatory photo with the water spouting iconic dragon. Sit on the colourful bank running the entire length of the main viewing platform (it’s quite comfortable: Gaudí studied ergonomics). Smoke pot with your friends and take off to explore the inner workings of this genius’ brain. Metro L3 “Vallcarca” Palau Güell Yet another UNESCO World Heritage site, the palace was built between 1885 and 1890 in the center of BCN at c/ Nou de la Rambla 3, for the same industrial magnate Eusebi Güell. It served both as the family’s residential home and also as an infamous party hall where the entire Barcelonan intelligentsia gathered. It also inspired directors like Antonioni (The Passenger). Shhhhh….. Few people know, but in his early days Gaudí designed lamp posts for the City of Barcelona. Go on a treasure hunt and find them! There are a few in Plaça de Palau, and more in Plaça Reial. SuiteLife Barcelona is a full service apartment rentals agency. Visit us anytime at www.SuiteLife.es 5 2. Thou Shall Enjoy Daily Barcelona Life. Barcelona offers a wealth of sights and sounds, cultural treasures, and hidden pleasures. One could spend an entire day admiring the myriad of Modernist architecture, wandering the old, winding streets of Cuitat Vella, experiencing the works of Dalí, Picasso, Gaudi, and Miró; or relaxing on the stretch of beaches getting a tan - and trying not to turn into a “gamba”. There are a few places, however, that merit a visit. Parc Cuitadella This is the perfect place to relax on a quiet afternoon. It’s big enough to find your own little corner for a picnic, a game of Frisbee, or to finish a good book. It contains the ‘Castel dels Tres Dragons’ built to resemble a medieval castle, Barcelona’s zoo, a boating lake, monuments, and a life-size stone Woolly Mammoth. Often you can hear the sound of a guitar wafting through the air or watch people practicing Capoeira (a Brazilian martial art). Other parks worth checking out are the University Gardens in Plaza Universtitat and the Labyrinth Park. The former is tucked away from the noise of the surrounding streets. It contains a range of botanical interests and has an otherworldly feel to it. The latter is a stunning place for children and adults alike. Get lost in the huge labyrinth; admire the richly ornamented railings and mythological figures of these neoclassical gardens. Metro L4 “Villa Olimpica.” ArtMuseum Pass For 22 € you have access to 7 of the main museums in Barcelona. Definitely worth getting if you are planning to visit at least a couple of them, and it is valid for 6 months. The museums include the MACBA, CCCB, MNAC, Museu Picasso, Fundació Joan Miró, Fundació Antoni Tapies, and La Pedrera de Caixa Catalunya. (www.articketbcn.org) Plaça de Sant Felip Neri One of the most secluded, beautiful, and haunting squares in Barcelona. In dappled sunlight, the 18th Century baroque church walls reflect one of the darkest periods of Spanish history. The potted holes covering the facade are commonly thought to have been caused by Anarchist firing squads executing priests during the Civil War. It is more likely that this explanation was a result of a Francoist cover-up when a bomb fell on the square and school in 1938. The silence and peacefulness of the square belies, not only the busy, tourist- thronged nearby Ramblas, but also the chaos and upheaval of a not so distant Spain. Metro L4 “Jaume 1er”. SuiteLife Barcelona is a full service apartment rentals agency. Visit us anytime at www.SuiteLife.es 6 La Boqueria Heaving with local buyers and sellers, lots of exciting produce and a world of colour, the Boqueria is the biggest food market in Europe and dates from 1217. It’s probably best to go in the morning to avoid the crowds and see the best food. Marvel at the rows of brightly coloured fruit and vegetables; the selection of seafood; and rare mushrooms that cost up to 450€/kg – making them more expensive than silver. You can even come across less appetising offerings such as sheep heads! There are a number of tapas bars dotted around for an authentic taste of the market, and a tasty cheap selection of sliced fruit boxes and fruit drinks. It’s the perfect place to pick up that missing ingredient and to take some great photos. Metro L3 “Liceu”. Miscellanea While Barcelona certainly isn’t short of art galleries to visit, Miscellanea showcases the talents of both local artists and those from farther afield. With an eclectic mix of exhibitions, the small space also contains a shop selling unusual t-shirts, posters and books, and a cool bar adorned with original artwork and comfy sofas. There is another room at the back of the gallery that holds intimate concerts with an emphasis on acoustic and experimental electronic music. If you feel like flexing your artistic muscles they also host workshops on everything from making video documentaries to stencil art.

  • GESTIÓ ESPORTIVA Memòria Anual
    Secretariat d’Entitats de Sants, Hostafrancs i la Bordeta 2012 Memòria anual Presentació La coordinació associativa i el foment de projectes comuns entre les entitats ha tornat a ser durant el 2012 un dels grans eixos de treball del Secretariat. A més, com qualsevol entitat viva i arrelada al territori i la comunitat, el Secretariat és sensible als canvis i a les necessitats que un context socioeconòmic com l’actual provoca en la ciutadania. L’accentuació de la crisi econòmica està provocant sotragades importants i, en aquest sentit, durant el 2012 vam posar l’accent a l’hora de potenciar i impulsar totes aquelles iniciatives orientades a aconseguir una societat més justa i més cohesionada. La taula intercultural és un exemple plenament consolidat, però a més durant el 2012 vam iniciar alguns projectes amb un clar component d’acció comunitària: ens referim a l’Espai de deures, una iniciativa de reforç escolar adreçada a joves dels nostres barris, i la taula social, un nou espai de coordinació associativa que sumarà esforços per sensibilitzar la població i contribuir a minimitzar situacions de vulnerabilitat. A més, vam continuat formant part de projectes que fomenten la llengua i cultura catalanes, amb activitats de llarg recorregut com el Projecte Parlem, el Xerrem o el Correllengua, i d’altres més recents com ara la recuperació del certamen literari dels Jocs Florals o bé l’impuls del català en l’àmbit laboral del Secretariat. I com a novetats del 2012, vam sumar-nos a iniciatives compartides com ara la Marxa de torxes per a la independència, la vigília de la manifestació de la Diada, una jornada històrica per al futur del nostre país en la qual nombroses entitats del territori vam mobilitzar-nos per reivindicar que Catalunya sigui un nou estat d’Europa.

  • Ritual and Contemporary Catalan Theater: the Work of La Fura Dels Baus
    Journal of Catalan Studies 2015/2016 Ritual and contemporary Catalan theater: the work of La Fura dels Baus Duri Long Goergia Institute of Technology Introduction One only has to witness a few hours of La Mercè in Barcelona to experience the inherent theatricality involved in traditional Catalan rituals. From the pyrotechnics and demonic costumes in the correfoc to the enormous papier-mâché masks in the xambanga de gegants, performance is central to many Catalan festivities. Although there is a well-developed body of literature discussing contemporary Catalan theater (George & London 1996; Feldman 2009) as well as literature discussing traditional Catalan rituals (Hernández 2005; Noyes 2003) there is little that explores more than a surface level relationship between these two genres of performance. This essay will investigate this connection by identifying key thematic and symbolic elements that are present in Catalan rituals and examining how these elements have influenced theater in the period following the end of Franco’s regime. Focusing on elements such as non-verbal theatrical devices, motifs of teamwork and social union, and the use of theatrical catharsis, this essay will look at the work of Catalan theater company La Fura dels Baus in order to explore the presence of Catalan ritual in their work and investigate some of the possible implications of this presence on Catalan cultural identity. Catalan Identity From a theatrical point of view – and from the narrow perspective allowed by this focus – the main concern in this area relates not exclusively to history or politics but to the notion of civic or cultural national consciousness.
