Bar Seco, Poble Sec

16 November 2009 By Vera Ciria 0 In Delicious Food and Restaurants

This week’s Timeout focuses on the Poble Sec neighbourhood, its’ various restaurants, bars, shops and secret places. Unfortunately, they didn’t include one of the best places, Bar Seco. Located at Passeig Montjuic 74, this is an oasis of calm, on the slopes leading up to Montjuic. Do not be put off by its’ “bar de barrio” outside appearance. It has a small terrace of 4 tables which are almost always full and a lovely space inside.

Ponete la Remera is a Barcelona-based t-shirt company which has seen the niche to create cutely rude sayings from across the Atlantic. An impressive visual impact, simple but effective: black t-shirt with white lettering. The slogan is composed of a dictionary-style entrance. First, the word in big, block lettering, then below, the meaning and a sample of how the word itself is to be used.
