It’s not often that I feel the urge to make the pilgrimage to neighbourhoods above Avenida Diagonal. Call me lazy, call me close-minded but I usually find everything I need in Sant Antoni, Borne, Eixample, Raval and el Gótico. So I prepared my excursion kit and headed up to a new place that has been open for around two months: Victoria’s Cakes.

Ministry of Muffins
What could be better than eating muffins and cupcakes? Well, watching cute videos about muffins and cupcakes!
For the next two weeks, up until the start of Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week on the 18th of February, I will be delving exclusively into food and restaurants in Barcelona, offering reviews of new places that have opened and even my first guest post by the fantastic foodie behind Moonraker Morsels. So stick around for some mouth-watering items!
Cafe Federal
I really love my neighbourhood, Sant Antoni. Located within walking distance from Raval, original version movies at Renoir Floridablanca, the market, so many lovely things but lacking in one very serious area. No extremely good bars and restaurants to grab a bite or have a drink. Yes, there’s Bar Ramon but they won’t be awarded a prize for friendliness. There’s also Bar Jacinta, but it’s always crowded. Many, many times I have walked the streets in my “barrio” with friends, searching for some place to rest awhile and have a nice glass of wine and have ended up acknowledging defeat and ambled over to Raval. Well, the search is finally over, this dilemma is now a thing of the past!
Lolita Bakery in Barcelona
Cupcake shops seem to be popping up all over the city in a very short time! Recently inaugurated, Lolita Bakery is the newest addition to this popular trend. Located in the Borne neighbourhood, the space is filled with vintage items, with a clear trend towards 50s decorating.
Madrid in Summer
Although I live here in Barcelona and enjoy life in La Ciudad Condal, I have to admit, even though I know some are going to gnash their teeth, that my heart belongs to Madrid. A short visit this long weekend past, basically to avoid the San Joan firecrackers, revived all utter love affair with Spain’s capital.
