Song of the week: The Shins – Simple Song

We cannot stop listening to The Shins, specially to this “Simple song”.

Beautiful <3

We´d love to watch them soon in Barcelona!

Do you want to know where to go to take the vermouth in Gracia? At Sol Soler!

Sol Soler

Last week we went for a walk to the neighborhood of Gracia. We stopped by theSol Soler, a restaurant located in a corner of Plaza del Sol, to drink avermouth and eat some tapas.

We were three people and asked for: a piece vegetable lasagna (the best I’ve ever tasted), spinach pie, one peppers “del padron”, brave potatoes and caramelized chicken wings. Everything was great, the portions were generous and we paid less than 30 € for food and drinks, isn´t it wonderfull?

The decor is pretty retro and nice. The room has natural light because it has windows on two sides. There is also a terrace very well attended in the square.
So if you go to Gracia and do not know where to go to eat we totally recommend you Sol Soler

Heineken will sponsor the Primavera Sound 2013 – the line up here

Line Up Primavera Sound 2013

The next edition of the Primavera Sound will take place from 22nd to 26th May at Parc del Forum in Barcelona

Until yesterday, the only known confirmation of Primavera Sound 2013 was Blur. People waited anxiously to the gala of confirmations to check if they were right in their predictions: “they sure will be bringing to Weezer”, “no! Sure David Bowie” … Well, neither, but pay attention to the Line Up (Band of Horses, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Simian Mobile Disco, Animal Collective …), the video that they have been carefully worked … is awesome, very hard to beat.
