  • This tall monument is dedicated to Christopher Columbus. It sits at the lower end of La Rambla, and was constructed for the Exposición Universal de Barcelona (1888) in honor of Columbus' first voyage to the Americas. ⠀
⠀
The monument serves as a reminder that Christopher Columbus reported to Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand V in Barcelona after his first trip to the new continent.⠀
⠀
It always reminds me of Nelson’s Column in London’s Trafalgar Sq. ⠀

⠀
The one thing about having an energetic rescue dog @rocco_rescue_podenco is that it’s not even an option for him to not get out for at least one walk every day, even when I just don’t have the energy. ⠀
⠀
It’s always worth it. Today, Spring is definitely in the air here. It’s beautiful.⠀
⠀
Any fellow daily dog walkers?⠀

  • Hidden Barcelona courtyards.
  • “The world begins with every kiss” mural, located in an unassuming lane not far from Barcelona’s Cathedral. ⠀
⠀
Installed in 2014, it is signed by by photographer Joan Fontcuberta and ceramist Antoni Cumella. ⠀
⠀
This fab design was created to commemorate the three hundred years of the Fall of Barcelona on September 11th, 1714, an important date in Catalonia. ⠀
⠀
The mural is made up of 4,000 photographs sent by the readers of newspaper El Periódico that form the image of a kiss. ⠀
⠀
Fontcuberta highlights that the motto of “The world begins in every kiss” is ‘Live free‘. A message that encourages facing the future with love and enthusiasm despite the difficulties; like people of Barcelona after the September 11th defeat against the Castilian troops. He didn’t want a Wailing wall but “a wall of joy and optimism for the future”.⠀

  • One of my favourite little cocktail spots in Barcelona. 
In @collagebcn I recommend sitting at the bar and watching the talented mixologist at work. 
Choose from the vast cocktail menu or ask for a twist on your favourite drink whilst listening to the groovy music (think cool Mowtown jazz) and admiring the wall art. 
Do you have a favourite place to recommend in Barcelona? 🍸

  • A perfect Insta-wall by @keithharingofficial in the Raval district. I love his clever art. ⠀
⠀
This long horizontal piece depicts a horror story of drugs, illness and death being attacked by various Haring-esque creatures, humanoid forms and a condom.⠀
⠀
Good ultimately triumphs over Evil, and its message is upbeat: Todos juntos podemos parar el sida (Together we can stop AIDS). ⠀
⠀
Sadly, AIDS stopped Keith Haring, one scant year after his visit to Barcelona. But his legacy lives on in this work. ❤️⠀
