Banksy invades Bristol

09 September 2009 By Vera Ciria 8 In Exhibitions

Street artist Banksy converts breaking the rules into an art form. Last October 2008, the director of Bristol Museum, Kate Brindley, was contacted by Banksy’s agents, with the idea to offer up a “remix” of the museum’s collection by adding up to 100 pieces of original work. Banksy wanted to give something back to the city where he grew up and where his first art stencils appeared.

Are they pulling our leg here? Life in Vienna

07 September 2009 By Vera Ciria 5 In Life outside Barcelona

I was able to get away to Vienna this August for holidays to visit some friends who have a great theatre company since 2007: Not Found Yet Theatre. It’s always great to go to a new city for the first time, the anticipation and excitement of discovering fresh places and sensations. It’s even better if you have friends living at your chosen destination as you get a broader view of the country.

Creperie Bretonne Annaíck

03 August 2009 By Vera Ciria 5 In Delicious Food and Restaurants

Hidden away in the strangest corner, is the Creperie Bretonne. Located underneath the Frank Gehry fish beside Barcelona’s twin towers and next the Casino. The most common affluence of people are tourists, which is a pity, as many are missing out on this great restaurant. It would probably be more suited to the Borne or Gotico areas of the city. So, every once in awhile, I traipse out to get the best crepes in town.

The Best Muffins and Cupcakes in Barcelona

03 August 2009 By Vera Ciria 4 In Delicious Food and Restaurants

If you’re anything like me, then it’s extremely difficult to find delicious goodies to fill my voracious sweet tooth. I find that Spanish sweets just aren’t lush and comforting enough. Yes, there are some good croissants, but I usually have to eat at a restaurant to get a really good chocolate cake.

Eonnagata

20 July 2009 By Vera Ciria 1 In Theatre and other Performing Arts

I’m not much of a dance person, I much prefer theatre and expositions of all kinds but I was drawn to Eonnagata. During the past 4 days and forming part of the annual, summer Grec Festival, this spectacular production could be seen at the Teatreonnagatae Nacional de Catalunya (TNC).
