About me

About me
I was born in Caracas, lived most of my life in London, also spent some time in Buenos Aires and Leeds, and finally moved to Barcelona in 2011. My passions are good food, reading, films and filmmaking, family and family history, and Barcelona.

Why Barcelona?
What I love about Barcelona is that I find new things in it to be amazed by all the time. It's a city that is constantly renewing itself but still manages to retain its sense of tradition, music festivals that bring the world together into one spot, to people in my neighborhood who take the time to greet you in the street and ask after your health. Barcelona retains its soul as the Roman port city where all peoples and civilizations meet and rub up against each other in constant flux. I couldn't live anywhere else.

Coros de Barceloneta

The original street party

The "Coros de Barceloneta" in Barcelona is one of the oldest and by definition most authentic festivities you can find.

Blu Bar

Chilled café to peoplewatch

"Blu Bar" in Barcelona is close enough to Rambla Poblenou that it's not far away from the buzz, but I love that it's a spot I can read the newspaper...

Balius

Excellent cocktails

"Balius" Barcelona is a cocktail bar I've had great experience with, even though they're not my thing. I love the refreshingly unpretentious atmosphere...

Nice Spice

Curry on the Mediterranean

"Nice Spice" Barcelona is the curry restaurant I head to when I get my regular cravings for hot food. I often bump into the cook when I go food shopping!

Bitacora Barceloneta

Small place, great tapas

"Bitacora Barceloneta" in Barcelona was originally recommended to me by friends; now it's been one of my favorite places to eat fusion tapas for some time!

Base Nautica

Surf, sail and drink, all year round

"Base Nautica" is different from the legion of xiringuitos on Barcelona's sand. For one, it's more quiet and chilled out. It's also open in winter...

Public Libraries

Free for all

The "Public Libraries" in Barcelona are so good, I really think they make it my ideal city! They're well-stocked and are never more than 15 minutes away...

Rambla Poblenou

The street cafe life

"Rambla Poblenou" in Barcelona is the main wide pedestrian street in this neighborhood. It's a mix of local & touristic but it's a great place to hang out.
