Deep water soloing in Costa Brava – Psicobloc L’Escala

Deep water soloing in Costa Brava – Psicobloc L’Escala

Can Masdeu – an abandoned leper hospital

Can Masdeu – an abandoned leper hospital

One of my favorite places in Barcelona is Can Masdeu. Can Masdeu is a former leper hospital which had been abandoned for over 50 years. It is now occupied by squatters and serves as a social center, residence, and community garden. The grounds governed by […]

Camí de Ronda Platja Castell – Cap Roig: a stunning coastal footpath

On the Costa Brava there is nothing more spectacular for nature lovers than the coastal footpaths: on one side, the forest, pine trees, cliffs, coves,  and sand beaches; on the other side, the clear turquoise water of the Mediterranean sea. A very special one among these ‘Camí […]

An Andalusian neighborhood in Barcelona – Les Roquetes and Torre Baró

Les Roquetes is located in the Nou Barris district of the city of Barcelona. It’s a very vivid and interesting neighborhood. Walking through its streets doesn’t make you feel like being in Catalonia, more like being in Latin America or maybe the Canary Islands or […]
