Barcelona Batega Campaign

Barcelona Batega Campaign


Barcelona City Council launched a massive marketing campaign recently and the whole city was covered with these flags. The heartbeat logo may be useful for whatever plans L'Ajuntament schemes.

 According to many, it is more a corporate logo than a symbol to help conveying an idea: it may be used for sports, the elders, transportation, the disabled, and so on but nobody really knows what the "heartbeat" really means. 

It would be no big deal in the end if they had not spent 1.6 m € in the campaign. I hope at least you enjoyed the beautiful Casa Sayrach, a modernist building with tower back there which appeared also in this previous post.

Tibidabo Park: Kids in the Magic Mirror

Tibidabo Park: Kids in the Magic Mirror


Yesterday we saw kids improvising in a park, today we will see them in front of the mirror. What can be more fun than watching their spontaneous creativity pretending to be giants or midgets. 

Tibidabo Magic Mirrors is the perfect place: a small room of distorting or deceiving mirrors at the end of a very dark corridor.

Kids Improvising Slide

Kids Improvising a Slide


There are many kinds of parks, some of them include a playground for kids that allows parents to "have a break". But as you see in today's picture playgrounds are not good enough to match the fantasy of an improvising kid. 

The park is just three blocks away from Sagrada Familia or Hospital de Sant Pau, at the intersection of carrer Industria with carrer Marina and of course there is a playground.
