Sevilla, the 4th biggest city of Spain, has always been admired for its old streets, dislodging history in each corner. However, now it’s also admired for its new art scene.
Last week I received an email from a friend who had been to Sevilla recently. He told me about the tasteful food and the beautiful city but he also told me about a nice street art gallery called Montana Shop & Gallery Sevilla. In this gallery you can watch street art exhibitions from both international and Spanish artists, for example: Beautiful Colors, Fafa and 3ttman. Another cool thing is that you can buy some spray cans of your own on the way out.
Check out their website and make sure to stop by if you’re ever in Sevilla, I know I will.

As some of you might already know I’m Catalan from a village near Barcelona. Apart from Sagrada Familia and the football team Barça, Barcelona is also known as one of the best cities in the world to skateboard in. There are many places around the city that are suitable for skateboarding, but there’s one that is particularly good.
This place is MACBA square. In the heart of the Raval neighborhood, it’s one of the most intercultural areas of the city, in front of the MACBA (Modern Art Museum of Barcelona) you can practice your favorite sport in excellent conditions or watch how the other skateboarders do their tricks.
If you want to check how good this place is before you come to Barcelona you can watch Streets of Barcelona (MACBA from 2′20) where better skaters than me (sorry, I’ve tried to skateboard several times but I’m a bluff) show off the place and give some useful advice.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a drink in a fairytale? When I was 16, I took a tour to Barcelona and being from a small town I was surprised with the lack of nature. On hearing this my friend told me that he would take me somewhere I would like, and indeed I did.
In the center of Barcelona, amongst the skyscrapers and the noise from the roads, there’s a place that can transport you to the middle of a forest full of life. This place, called El bosc de les fades, and is a great bar where you and your friends can enjoy a drink in unusual surroundings and a mythical atmosphere. “It’s like being 300 km away from the city” another friend said, and I agreed.
However be careful; it’s said the oldest fairy from Barcelona lives here.
You can find El bosc de les fades here!
