today

Today we went to the Gracia neighborhood, it's our favorite one in Barcelona, especially this week,
since it's all nicely decorated for the 'Festes de Gracia'.

We found a new vegan shop and bought some tiramisu and cookies, ate some vegetarian empanadas,
did some shopping from a tibetan store, and headed home on an electric scooter, shot some pics for
some clothes, reorganized the house, and then sat back and relaxed. 

Quite a busy day, but fun for sure!

This Week’s - Places To Be - Photo Diary - Sopa Barcelona

When we used to stay in the Poblenou neighbourhood of Barcelona, we discovered a great place to 

eat, drink and to chill called Sopa. The place, as it’s name suggests, serves among other eco and bio 

food a great variety of soups. One other particular aspects I enjoy about this place is its general 

family business feeling. The place is very spacious, you have the option to eat or take away, and the 

food they serve is really healthy and tastes great. Among other things they sell clothes and 

accessories for yoga, and btw I heard they use the place for yoga classes as well. We went there at a 

weekend, and the place had a chill, pleasant atmosphere overall, very different from the busy and noisy Barcelona.

This Week’s Places to Be - Photo Diary - OBBIO FOOD

Hi,

This is a place that I'm really grateful for. I found out about it right when it  opened and then a friend actually took 

me there for lunch.

Now it has become the organic supermarket we buy our food from!

What's really great about it is that it has a restaurant, that serves delicious organic and fresh food, where you can 

choose from variety of things, majority vegan food, and sweets as well.

It's a pleasant place and it also has a small and cute terrace where you can enjoy your lunch.

The second greatest thing about it, is that it is really close to the yoga studio I usually go to, so I can enjoy a nice 

and healthy meal between classes :)

Cheers

This Week’s Places To Be - Photo Diary - Rodríguez & Co

We’ve been to Rodríguez & Co the other day, it’s a quiet place located in the Esquerra de 

L'eixample area. It’s a relaxing small place, that looks like a family business, with a great variety of 

homemade healthy foods and deserts, and plenty of vegan options too. They also have natural juices 

so for sure you can have a healthy brunch or a light dinner. The staff is nice and the place looks cute.

This week´s - Places to be - Photo Diary - Tribu Woki

One of the Tribu Woki´s places is actually an eco supermarket and luckily it is a small restaurant as well.  

It has a great variety of vegan delicious food and desert. We ordered a veggie burger, a vegetable "empanada",

 a pudding pie and an absolutely delicious cherry cake, the best till now. The place is an oasis of silence 

from the city´s noisy environment,  we´ve been there a Saturday morning at it was the perfect place to be. 

If you need a place to buy your healthy groceries from and relax a bit afterwards, try this shop. 

This week´s - Places to be - Photo diary - Makamaka

This very cute place is located in the Barceloneta neighborhood. Being so close to the beach and the 

city center makes it a really crowded, busy and cheerful place, often visited by tourists. It´s design is 

quite funny actually and colourful, they kept a vintage/retro look with a lot of elements referring 

to the 80s, or a bar for surfers or Baywatch, the series.

They offer a big variety of salads and burgers, loads of juices, smoothies and cocktails too, so you 

have plenty of opportunities to pick something healthy. We ordered a "Shark Bite" juice and a 

"Toffee Coffee" and they were delicious. 

All in all this place has a good atmosphere.

This week’s - Places to be - Photo Diary - Ús Barcelona

This week’s places to be, literally, is Ús Barcelona, an art festival for urban spaces.

The festival is meant to rescue, through urban art and civic participation, the use and value of the city’s urban spaces. 
The organisers and participants make, as they say, artistic interventions on walls, floors and cars. 
Apart from that there is live music playing, there are Dj’s, art markets, gastronomic spaces and food trucks. 

We visited the place today and we had a lot of fun. When arriving, since the closed streets, reserved for the festival, were full of old, two story, 

seemingly uninhabited buildings among the new tall ones we had the impression of being on a filmset. 

The streets were crowded with cool and creative people both artists and participants. There was an overall good 

vibe going on, and we believe its a good place to spend this weekend. Some artistic interactions were even interactive 

so I had the chance to actually make a drawing and take it home with me.
