APRIL 2018 – In April 2018, the GREEN-M team traveled to Barcelona – Spain's second-largest city and the capital of Catalonia – for a series of culinary and cultural enrichments, all under optimal spring weather conditions.
Each morning, we revitalized our bodies and minds for the day ahead with lavish breakfast provisions, expertly prepared by our early risers. We extend our renewed gratitude for this! Even when dining out, starting the day was excellent with freshly squeezed orange juice and a variety of savory and sweet options at fair prices in a bistro within a nearby market hall.
Our daily urban and culinary explorations commenced from our apartment in the Eixample District, immediately after completing our morning programming sessions for clients and detaching ourselves from the terrace view of the Sagrada Familia.
Without a fixed itinerary, but with sturdy footwear and a day metro pass in our pockets, we set out to discover and experience the coastal city – its beach, streets, alleys, and squares, along with its people, music, Cerveza, Tapas – essentially, the 'La Vida Loca'.
Impressed by the combination of quaint pubs, outdoor gyms on the beach, public party atmosphere, and drinking canned beer on curbsides against architectural backdrops ranging from Catalan Gothic to Gaudi, we stumbled upon, among other things, our absolute top restaurant recommendation. Bar La Ramona – a beer and tapas bar with an intimate atmosphere not far from the Sagrada Familia Basilica, i.e., close to our accommodation. From artichokes to rather impressive Filet de Vedella, we savored our way through the world of tapas, washing it down with Estrella.
The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself.
– Spanish Proverb –
All culinary inspirations acquired during our short trip were combined on the final evening into a self-prepared gourmet buffet. This gastronomic culmination was further perfected as musical sounds drew us towards the Sagrada Familia, where we danced into our last night at a small live music festival.
The customary final nightcap on our home terrace, consistently enjoyed as on preceding evenings, was productively utilized for both informal discourse and the refinement of nascent inspirations into actionable agency concepts.
