Barcelona and all that jazz!
November 18th, 2006
It´s not just a city, it´s a WAY OF LIFE! Barcelona is not the place I had imagined. At times I feel it is a quiet and relaxing home with hundreds of cosy cafés – like CAFFE D´ARTS on C/Bruc or my most favourite BORN COOKING on C/Corretger for the BEST home-made cakes in town, where you can sit for hours and dreamily watch the world go by! But at other times this city is a living and breathing creature with fire in her eyes and musical surprises around every street corner! You only need to take an early evening stroll on any Sunday around the Barcelona cathedral in the city centre and on one corner you will hear a soft Spanish opera singer and on the next corner you will find a group of 6 students playing loud funky Jazz to finish off the week.
You can check out the current Barcelona Jazz Festival at www.barcelonajazzfestival.com. They can blow their own trumpet as one of the best around in terms of the quality programming this year! This festival lasts until the 5th December.
