BOCA CHICA / BOCA GRANDE – BARCELONA

www.bocagrande.cat/boca-chica

This name: BOCA CHICA & BOCA GRANDE has been spread around Barcelona from mouth to ear (and much more likely from mouth to mouth)…

One of the coolest Bars in capital letters at the Eixample Dret (right across Passeig de Gracia which is the little Champs Elysees of Barcelona).

BOCA GRANDE refers as a ground-floor restaurant which has a very chic design, hipster atmosphere and acceptable BUT AVERAGE food, therefore it is not the protagonist of our tip…

BOCA CHICA instead, is the COCKTAIL LOUNGE BAR just over the stairs from the restaurant.

This place is an eclectic mixture of Africa, Europe’s Belle Époque & New York.

The atmosphere is completely a visual surprise, worth-it a drink or two. It consists of 2 floors & a mini dance area…AND..a peculiar toilette at the basement:

At the toilette often a DJ plays…there is also a piano, small tables for drinks, a mosaic of small mirrors, all in ONLY ONE UNISEX compartment.

Deffinatelly a place to feel lke Jerry Lee Lewis at “The Great Balls Of Fire”…the toilette we mean..

But yes, the Bar above is very fine too…

Casa Bonay: Let’s have some fun

www.casabonay.com

This space is what a perfect hotel-lounge should be.
It’s a cocktail bar, it’s a high quality tea corner and also a cute informal restaurant.

As a part of the cosy hotel CASA BONAY, here people feel just like at home.

At Libertine, you find the perfect place for a casual meeting; a perfect place to spend an after-work drink, or simply a perfect place for a cool “solo” read-time.

During summer they open the roof-top, best during the sunny mornings.

THE SPIRIT OF THE BELLE ÉPOQUE, BARCELONA

www.hotelpalacebarcelona.com/spirit1919/

Welcome back to the Belle Époque!

Welcome to one of the most emblematic hotels in Barcelona since 1919 (the former RITZ , today reconverted as THE HOTEL PALACE BARCELONA).

There is absolute no need to spend a fortune per night to enjoy a handful of highlights in one single corner of Barcelona…these are 4 of the top-of-the-class experiences you shouldn’t miss if you come here as a visitor :

THE BLUESMAN COCKTAIL BAR: Arguably one of the best intimate spots in town to taste a Scotch Whisky on the rocks, sitting on a red velvet arm-chair & enjoy in a very pettite commitee a live music band, every week, from Thursday to Saturday, from 2300 hrs to 0100 hrs.
THE ROOF TOP TERRACE: Arguably some of the most imposing roof tops of Barcelona…a place to indulge during the warm sunsets.
THE TEA SALOON: If you think you need to visit Versailles to feel the classical luxury at its best, well, you haven’t been here. If you feel that a classical high tea is only possible at London; well you haven’t been here either. Don’t hesitate to pop in for a drink, for an enjoyable read in a relaxed atmosphere or for a laid back chat with friends or customers….There is also a cosy restaurant called THE 19, next to the green house…because yes, there is a green house too!
CAELIS RESTAURANT: A 1 star Michelin Restaurant headed by the french cheff Romain Fornell.

Belle Époque…Belle de Jour, Belle de Nuit…

“LA CRÈME DE LA CRÈME” : THE COTTON-TRADING HOUSE-HOTEL, BARCELONA

An Autograph collection:

www.hotelcottonhouse.com/en

The Cotton House Hotel stands imposingly on the site of the former headquarters of the Cotton Textile Foundation “Fundación Textil Algodonera”, an emblematic 19th-century building in the neoclassical style which is a landmark in the city of Barcelona. Built on the orders of a family of the Catalan bourgeoisie when the textile industry was at its height, it was sold in the middle of the 20th Century to the Cotton Producers Guild which established its headquarters there with the aim of housing the highest possible number of cotton-producing bodies and services: the idea was to create a genuine Cotton House Hotel.

VALENCIA, CITY OF SUN, CITY OF SCIENCIES & CITY OF HISTORY

VALENCIA, Restaurant & Cervecería LA PRINCIPAL
www.laprincipalrestaurante.com

We were introduced and invited to this restaurant by our agency partners and good friends from Sagunto and Valencia, Ignacio Montolio & Sergio Montolio www.simonmontolio.com who are frequently visiting this restaurant. The food is the freshest you can have, all beautifully prepared and delicious. The fried cod puffs are a most & a must.
If you want a true spanish “restaurant & bar-feeling” in Valencia we highly recommend La Principal for your lunch. There are two types of decor, a more modern one and a more rustic one, all in a nutshell; just outside the former walls of the old town of Valencia.

LIMON CAFE: a wonderful sunset back in the history of History

The name of Bodrum derives from “Petronium”, named after the Hospitaller Castle of St. Peter.

The site was formerly known as Halikarnassus (greek) or Halikarnas (turkish).

Bodrum was famous for housing the Mausoleum of Mausolus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World & it was famous as well for being the homeland of the Father of the Written History: ¡Herodotus!.

The reminiscence of such a landmark of HISTORY in capital letters can be tasted in a hidden gem of a secret garden & oasis which smells of figs and flowers and sights a vast horizon…

Thank you Sertac!

You gave us the tip for this wonderful spot which is a highlight to remember.
