I felt flat-envy this weekend, after being invited to a barbecue at a friends apartment. Hanging out on the terrace all afternoon, taking sun and having beers and food was just fantastic. Damn, would I like to have a place like this!

A warm and sunny day is an invitation for breakfast at the beach. The beach of Bogatell in Barcelona is a bit further up than Barcelonetta, but the sand is cleaner and the city seems further away, giving more of a of holiday feeling.

The area around parallel used to be the amusement center of barcelona ages ago. The still standing symbol of that time is the run down builing of “el molino”, the moulin rouge of Barcelona.

3 hour train ride from Barcelona to reach the ski slopes of La Molina. Good weather, but little snow left at the beginning of April, but otherwise a nice ski-resort and close to Barcelona. You can buy an all inclusive ticket (ski pass and train fare) at Plaza Catalunya where you get the train tickets (more info: “Sport Activities”).

A crowd gathering saturday afternoon at Arc de Triomf to watch the capoeira dancers performing their tricks to the music.
