“The nothing”, or the silence or the emptiness, is a creative elements in the art (in music or design for example). The exhibition “The utility of the emptiness”, in the Museum of the Decorative Arts of Barcelona, compiles up to 120 pieces that make us think about the importance of the emptiness.1 comment March 4, 2008

Barcelona Movie is a new web, that will serve to give relevance to certain locations of Barcelona that still are not tourist icons.
The idea is that the tourists organizes the visit to the city from a cinematographic point of view, crossing the scenes where diverse rolled films was success in Barcelona.

The web Barcelona Movie, is to discover the city since the cinema, so that the person who consults the Web finds the relation of the scenes and its location in a plane of the city, as well as complementary information of Barcelona.
For example, now you can find Almodóvar’s scenes in Barcelona (”All About My Mother”) :  Monument a Colom, Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada FamÃlia, Palau de la Música Catalana.Â
The scenes of “The Perfume” in Barcelona of Tom Tykwer, “Erasmus Students’ Barcelona” of Cédric Klapisch, also Giovanni Veronesi, Peter Greenaway, Alejandro Amenabar, Fernando Trueba, Michelangelo Antonioni, who are some of the directors who have used the city as a location for their films.
Sure, is a good idea!

In the Drassanes Reials of Barcelona, “Bodies” will be until day 31 of March.
This exhibition on the human body, that it has attracted more than 3 million people everywhere, has obtained in Barcelona more than 110,000 visits from its inauguration, the past 17 of November.

 ”Bodies” arrived at Barcelona like a exhibition that broke records, simultaneously that did not leave indifferent anybody. Guaranteed by the great success achieved in cities like New York, London, Amsterdam, Lisbon and Sao Paulo, the exhibition shows the human body as it is, with real human rest.
These bodies, of people died by natural causes, have been dissected by means of a revolutionary system, conserved with polymers and sectioned detail yet to be exposed everywhere.
You can enjoy (or not ;-)): until 31/03/2008, at Reials Drassanes de Barcelona, Av. Drassanes, 1, Ciutat Vella.

Valentine’s Day is a special celebration, as you know, on February 14.
Generally, the lovers express their love sending presents, flowers, swets, and some of them, going to special site in the night.Â
In this order, we can suggest you a good thing to enjoy with your lover (if you remember an love ABBA):
But while I’ve been looking for special activities for this day, I saw an interesting article in ABC, in which TERESA DE LA CIERVA, MARTA BARROSO, PATRICIA ESPINOSA DE LOS MONTEROS talks about a study of the Valentine’s day traditions:
 ”The fragrances and the oils for the bath, among other products of beauty, do not fail, but either the romantic escapes. According to the study of Expedia, the best thing to reinforce a relation is a trip; that said 61% of the people at least. 41% of the women (always more positive) thinks that it helps to recover “the flame” (39% declare that when finalizing a trip has returned to fall in love with its pair), and the men, (”always so optimistic”), consider that “he is not going to suppose no change” (42%)… What yes it is certain is that it does not solve a crisis (only 6% take advantage of it to solve problems). One of the tactically important points is the planning of the trip. Women (36%) gives to much more importance him to the details whereas to them (23%) she costs to them more to put itself in agreement on the budget…”
What do you think about this study? And what you prefeer your lover do tomorrow?

This celebration origined in the pagan festivals for the winter solstice. Christianity transformed this, giving them a religious significance.

The people who are very young, perhaps did not have opportunity to see this fantastic video of Freddie Mercury with Montserrat Caballe (spanish catalan soprano), in the Olympic Games of Barcelona 92.
Be happy!:
I see it in: Spain-info

What do you think that happens, if we make the search of the word “Barcelona” in the Spanish Google?
 As it happens in the version of Google in English, one would wait for in the first places the Web of the City council of Barcelona or the connection to the Wikipedia with the information of Barcelona. But it is not true. Apparently Google-Spain believe that the Web of the Football Club Barcelona is more important.
Look at:
