&amp;nbsp;Cuando empecé a escribir mi novela, muchas veces me dijeron que lo
dejara. Que yo no era escritora sino abogada. Que me dedicara a otra cosa.
Algunos se rieron a carcajadas cuando les conté que me iba a Mallorca, con mi
familia, durante 3 meses, a estudiar libros y escribir una novela. Otros me
aconsejaron que me dedicara al teatro en vez de a la escritura. Pero nunca dejé
que las ideas de los demás me definieran. Yo quería escribir mi historia y
expresar lo que había vivido hasta entonces a través de unos personajes. Para
ello y en vista de que era más difícil de lo que pensaba en un principio
estudie un Master bilingüe en Finas Artes en escritura creativa en Goddard
college, VT, aterrorizada de que me confirmaran que solo unos pocos
privilegiados podían escribir. Pero una profesora creyó en mi: Mariana Romo
Carmona. Una. Solo una. Ella me dio fuerza para dejar de esconderme detrás de
palabras grandilocuentes y sacar mi voz.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

email al por entonces recién consagrado auto Carlos Ruíz Zafón y me contestó
que él había tardado 10 años en escribir ¨La&amp;nbsp;sombra del viento¨ y que
había que ligar las historias hasta la perfección. Pensé que estaba
completamente fuera de sí y que nunca en mi vida tardaría 10 años en
escribirla. Pero aquí estoy más de 10 años después.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

10 largos y benditos años escribirla. Por poco me quedo por el camino. Me he
amenazado con dejarla correr varias veces&amp;nbsp;pero aquí estoy con&amp;nbsp; toda
mi ilusión. Espero que la gente le de una oportunidad a &lt;b&gt;La copia de Van Gogh.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Está aquí para quedarse, para llegar a la gente, para viajar por el mundo y un
día ser traducida al inglés y convertirse en una película.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

veraneos en la isla de Mallorca. La fuerte conexión que nace entre ellas

Durante años viven caminos separados. Míriam continúa en Barcelona, inmersa en
la rutina y rodeada por una familia de caracteres opuestos. Helena, en cambio,
ha viajado y vivido en muchos países. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Helena desaparece en Nueva York, Míriam decide abandonarlo todo e ir en su
búsqueda. La gente que conoce en un autobús Greyhound y en la costa de Nueva
Jersey destruyen la visión del mundo que tenía hasta entonces, como la India lo
hizo para Helena. Los diarios de Helena sobre su vida en Varanasi sirven de
contrapunto a la vida anodina de Míriam. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Nueva Jersey, Miriam conoce a una entrañable anciana que cree en la
sincronicidad y la deja vivir en su casa. Allí Míriam conecta con el espíritu
de otras mujeres, pioneras, emigrantes que lucharon por un futuro mejor. Al
mismo tiempo, entra en una trama de adopciones ilegales en la que está
implicada Helena. En la soledad de su viaje, Míriam encuentra una parte de sí
misma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

La novela trae reminiscencias de otras obras de ficción de mujeres,
sobresaliendo una nueva voz, urbana, poética, con múltiples capas y con una
narrativa que refleja el complicado pero fabuloso mundo en el que vivimos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

se reúnen los personajes más variopintos. Algunos llegan desde Europa en busca
de sol para veranear y se enamoran de la calidez de la lengua, del clima y de
los edificios gaudinianos. En alguna ocasión también se enamoran de alguna
catalana o algún catalán.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Holanda a&amp;nbsp;veranear&amp;nbsp;a Lloret de Mar y de conocer a una catalana, los
motivos por los que se trasladó a&amp;nbsp;vivir a Barcelona, fueron&amp;nbsp;muy diferentes.
Tuvieron que ver con el nacimiento de su hija &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Mónica&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; con&amp;nbsp;una grave
enfermedad llamada hidrocefalia. Aunque, con el tiempo, fue asesor de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Frank Rikjaard&lt;/i&gt; y aprendió a hablar
catalán, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil &lt;/i&gt;hizo algo todavía más
extraordinario. Algo&amp;nbsp;de lo que queremos hablar aquí:&amp;nbsp;la creación del
concepto de &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

muchos conocen por las tierras catalanas, llamado&amp;nbsp;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil Van Eyle&lt;/i&gt;, y al libro que hemos escrito conjuntamente entre &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil&lt;/i&gt; y yo y, el equipo de &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES;&quot;&gt;La editorial &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt;
tiene algo menos de un año de existencia. Publicamos libros de poesía y
narrativa de escritores multilingües que cruzan un imaginario puente entre
Nueva York y Barcelona –las ciudades que más nos apasionan-. Este verano, hemos
tenido la ocasión de conocer a una gran persona, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil Van Eyle&lt;/i&gt;, un ex-ejecutivo de 45 años, delgado, no
particularmente alto, con brillantes ojos azules, que vive en Barcelona con su
familia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES;&quot;&gt;A medida que conocíamos la historia de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil&lt;/i&gt; y de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming&lt;/i&gt;, se hacían aparentes algunos paralelismos con nuestra
editorial, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt;. Porque, como
editores, nosotros también creemos en la idea de trabajar en un equipo en que
todos sabemos cómo hacer muchas cosas diferentes: hablamos varios idiomas,
editamos, traducimos, desarrollamos el diseño gráfico, y nos ocupamos de la
distribución y las ventas. No sabríamos cómo trabajar de otra manera. Para &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil,&lt;/i&gt; que siempre ha trabajado en equipo,
y es un ávido fan del &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Futbol Club
Barcelona&lt;/i&gt;, la estrategia para crear una organización sin oficina ni cuenta
bancaria ha sido la de apoyar a la gente que metafóricamente puede jugar en
cualquier posición –mediocampista, defensa, o delantero,- de forma que todo el
mundo meta goles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES;&quot;&gt;También creemos que hacer cosas para los demás con un
corazón abierto es la mejor forma de ser creativo, y de disfrutar la vida, y
por ello ponemos nuestro corazón y nuestra alma en todo lo que hacemos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES;&quot;&gt;No siempre tenemos la oportunidad de hacer algo
importante en el mundo. Muchos de nosotros estamos comprometidos con la
construcción de un mundo mejor, pero es muy fácil desanimarse cuando el dolor
de la guerra, del hambre, de la violencia, los problemas que nosotros mismos
creamos, se suman o se añaden a los eventos que no podemos cambiar como los
desastres naturales. Cuando Haití sufrió el terremoto, parte de la
desesperación de aquellos que querían ayudar pudo venir de un sentimiento de
impotencia, de que somos demasiado pequeños para hacer nada efectivo. ¿Sólo las
estrellas de cine, o las grandes fundaciones pueden ayudar a cambiar las vidas
de las personas? Todos queremos contribuir de una forma concreta porque sabemos
que es nuestro deber como seres humanos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES;&quot;&gt;Por ello, como una forma de practicar lo que
predicamos, mientras trabajábamos en la publicación de este libro, los miembros
de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt; nos sumamos a &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming
USA&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Puedo hablar por mí misma, como traductora en el proyecto, sobre
lo que me pasó cuando me uní. El ayudar a pasar del castellano al inglés la
historia de la hija de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Mónica&lt;/i&gt;, que nació con hidrocefalia, fue
una experiencia emotiva. Trabajar con nuestra fotógrafa, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Celia Miralles&lt;/i&gt;, que hizo las fotos que irían en la portada y
contraportada&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;del libro, fue también muy emotivo. Las imágenes de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Mónica&lt;/i&gt; me motivaron a ayudar a alguien.
Leí en la página web de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming USA&lt;/i&gt;
que es bueno trabajar por una causa en la que crees, próxima a tu corazón, y
eso es lo que hice. Primero creé un grupo &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming&lt;/i&gt;
para apoyar la prevención de los suicidios de chicos y chicas adolescentes
homosexuales, lesbianas, y transexuales, pertenecientes a minorías étnicas que
no tienen a quien acudir. Realicé mi primera donación de un dólar al grupo y
escribí un email a todos mis amigos y conocidos en &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Facebook, Twitter, &lt;/i&gt;y&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt; tumblr&lt;/i&gt;.
Y entonces, ocurrió algo mágico. Cómo había estado sentada enfrente del
ordenador toda la tarde, respiré profundamente, e hice unos pocos
estiramientos, para poder volver a trabajar en el libro. Pero sentí un
bienestar tan grande, que de repente, me levanté y bailé. Me descubrí
sonriendo, y haciendo espirales a la pata coja frente al ordenador. Esa pequeña
donación ya había tenido una influencia positiva en mi propia vida, y eso que
el libro no estaba acabado todavía.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES;&quot;&gt;El Dalai Lama habla a menudo de la compasi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: CA; mso-fareast-language: ES;&quot;&gt;ón&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;en una forma que es completamente accesible a
las personas que le escuchan en todas partes del mundo: nuestra compasión hacia
un solo individuo&amp;nbsp;irradia&amp;nbsp;hacia el exterior,&amp;nbsp;y&amp;nbsp;da forma a
nuestras&amp;nbsp;acciones hacia&amp;nbsp;los demás. Irónicamente, la ciencia ha sido
uno de los mejores aliados en la confirmación del valor de practicar la
compasión como una forma de vida, y el Dalai Lama apoya el trabajo de la
neurociencia y de la psicología que prueba esos beneficios.&amp;nbsp;En efecto, hoy
en día, publicar libros, entrenar un equipo de fútbol, o llevar un mensaje de
paz y compasión por todo el mundo puede ser un tema muy técnico. Pero ayudar a
otra persona y sentir ganas de bailar no tiene por qué&amp;nbsp;serlo. Esa es la
razón por la que &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt; publica
este libro sobre &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming&lt;/i&gt;. Algo tan
simple ha empezado a generar millones de micro donaciones que están cambiando

abounds with colorful people. Some come from Europe on vacation searching for
the sun, and the fall in love with the warmth of the language, the climate, and
the Gaudí buildings. Sometimes they also fall in love with a
Catalonian-&amp;nbsp;perhaps because of the endless possibilities!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

of &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil
Van Eyle&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, although he did come from Holland on holiday to Lloret de Mar
and met one Catalonian, and then another, the motives for moving to Barcelona
were very different. They had to do with the birth of his daughter &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Mónica&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
who was born with a serious illness called hydrocephalus. Besides, in time he
became an assistant to &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Frank Rijkaard&lt;/i&gt;
and he learned to speak Catalan, and out of all these experiences Jil created a
new concept and did something even more extraordinary than what we want to want
to talk about here: the creation of the concept call &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

introduce a charismatic and sincere character, that many people know in the
area named &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil Van Eyle&lt;/i&gt;, and the book
that we have written in collaboration, between &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil&lt;/i&gt; and me, and the &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; team.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

on everything, from losing weight to improving retirement portfolios, it is
unusual to hear a message that is simple and brief, with no strings attached and
no products to buy at the end of the presentation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

is telling people in Europe, Latin America, and now the U.S., &quot;Do you want
to help someone? Here is a way to do it.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial Press&lt;/i&gt; has only been
around for a little over a year. We publish books of poetry and narrative by
multilingual writers who inhabit an imaginary bridge between New York and
Barcelona-- the cities we love most. This summer, 2012, we had a chance to meet
&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil Van Eyle&lt;/i&gt;, a former executive, a
very nice guy from Holland, 45 years old, thin, not particularly tall, with
bright blue eyes, who lives in Barcelona with his family. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

newer than our press, he wanted us to publish a book about his micro donation
funding initiative, &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Teaming&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1MPUs_psi1eWVK0n8WPFjtP9KxLOKYCNtwA7-Eh5bx1uyIVVEo_J4L24EJqYcWqIGA-WIipbq5WVuu3mDcipQq2qXUqBVJU-wCDG_uSfShQB4LnpcufmkmWxNVP1613bka6KqNY7Xbk/s1600/Coraz%25C3%25B3n+Teaming+peque.png&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1MPUs_psi1eWVK0n8WPFjtP9KxLOKYCNtwA7-Eh5bx1uyIVVEo_J4L24EJqYcWqIGA-WIipbq5WVuu3mDcipQq2qXUqBVJU-wCDG_uSfShQB4LnpcufmkmWxNVP1613bka6KqNY7Xbk/s1600/Coraz%25C3%25B3n+Teaming+peque.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

As we got to know the story of &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming,&lt;/i&gt;
some parallels between &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt;
and Teaming became apparent. For one thing, as editors and writers we also
believe in the concept of working in a team where all of us know how to do many
different things: we speak several languages, we edit and translate, we do
graphic design, and take care of distribution and sales. We would not know how
to work otherwise. For &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil&lt;/i&gt;, who has
always been a team worker and is an avid fan of the Barcelona soccer team, the
strategy for creating an organization without an office or a bank account has
been to support people who can play any position- midfielder, forward, or
defender, so that everyone scores a goal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We also believe that doing things for others with an open heart is the best way
to be creative, to enjoy life, and we do put our heart and soul into everything
we do. In 2011, when we published the poetry collection by &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Noemí Trujillo Giacomelli&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;La
muchacha de los ojos tristes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, the most rewarding aspect was knowing
that the poet would be happy with her book. As we completed each translation, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Noemí&lt;/i&gt; was delighted. She wrote to thank
us when the bilingual edition of &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;The
Girl With Sadness In Her Eyes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; was printed, and &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Noemí&lt;/i&gt; was able to read her poems in Barcelona for the first time.
Her heartfelt emails practically made us cry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

We don&#39;t always have the opportunity to do something important in the world.
Many of us are committed to social change, but it is very easy to become
discouraged when the sorrow of war, of famine, of violence, the ills of our own
making, are added to the events we cannot change, as are natural disasters.
When the earthquake struck Haiti, part of the desperation for those who wanted
to help may have come from a sense of&amp;nbsp; impotence that we are too small to
do anything of value. Is it only movie stars or big foundations who can make a
change in people&#39;s lives? We all want to do something concrete because we know
it&#39;s the right thing to do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

For this reason, as a way to practice what we preach, the editors of &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt; joined &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming USA&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in the course
of producing this book. I can speak for myself, as translator in the project,
about what happened to me when I joined. Helping to bring from Spanish to English
the story of &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil&lt;/i&gt;&#39;s daughter, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Mónica&lt;/i&gt;, who was born with hydrocephalus,
was an emotional experience. Working with our photographer, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Celia Miralles&lt;/i&gt; who took the photos that
would be on the cover and back cover of the book, was also very moving. Seeing
the images of &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Mónica&lt;/i&gt; motivated me to
want to help someone. I read on the &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming
USA&lt;/i&gt; website that it&#39;s good to work for a cause we believe in, a cause that
is close to our hearts, and I did just that. First, I started a &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming&lt;/i&gt; group for suicide prevention efforts
on behalf of lesbian and gay adolescents of color, LGBTQ young people in the
U.S. who have no one to turn to. I donated my first dollar to the group and
wrote an email to my friends, and all the people I know on &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Facebook, twitter, tumblr&lt;/i&gt;- everyone. And then, something amazing
happened. Since I had been working on the computer for several hours, I took a
deep breath and stretched a bit so I could get back to work on this book. But I
had such a sense of well being, I suddenly felt like I had to get up and dance.
I found myself smiling, and twirling on one foot in front of the computer. Just
that small gesture had made a difference in my own life, and the book wasn&#39;t
even done yet!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Dalai Lama&lt;/i&gt; often speaks about
compassion in a way that is completely accessible to listeners all over the
world: our experience of compassion towards a single individual radiates
outwards, and shapes our actions towards other people. Ironically, science has
been one of the best allies in spreading the news about the value of practicing
compassion as a way of life, and the &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Dalai
Lama&lt;/i&gt; supports the work of neuroscience and psychology research that proves
these benefits. Indeed, today making books, coaching soccer, or carrying a
message of peace and compassion throughout the world can be a very technical
business. But helping one other person and feeling like dancing afterwards
doesn&#39;t have to be. That&#39;s why we at &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial
&lt;/i&gt;are bringing out this book about &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming&lt;/i&gt;.
Something so simple has started to generate millions of micro donations

més diversos. Alguns arriben d&#39;Europa a la recerca del sol per passar l&#39;estiu i
cauen enamorats amb la calidesa de la llengua, el clima i edificis de Gaudí. En
ocasions, també s’enamoren d’alguna catalana o algun català.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

cas del &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil Van Eyle&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Encara que va venir d&#39;Holanda a passar l&#39;estiu a
Lloret de Mar, i de conèixer a una catalana, les raons per les quals es va
traslladar a viure a Barcelona, van ser molt diferents. Van tenir a veure amb
el naixement de la seva filla &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Mònica&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; amb una infermetat greu
anomenada hidrocefàlia. Encara que amb el temps, va ser assessor del &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Frank Rikjaard&lt;/i&gt; i va aprendre a parlar el
català, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil&lt;/i&gt; va fer una cosa encara
més especial. De la qual cosa us volem parlar ara: la creació del concepte de &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

presentar-vos a una persona amb un caràcter carismàtic i sincer, a qui molts ja
coneixen en les terres catalanes, anomenat &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil
Van Eyle&lt;/i&gt; i, al llibre que hem escrit plegats entre el &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil&lt;/i&gt; i jo i, l’equip d’&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. En paraules de la

&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: CA;&quot;&gt;“En l’època dels experts del
Telemàrqueting i dels oradors motivacionals que ens aconsellen en tot, des de
com perdre pes a com millorar els nostres plans de pensions, es fa estrany
sentir un missatge simple i breu, sense interessos creats o productes a comprar
al final de la xerrada.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Amèrica Llatina, i ara als nord-Americans, &quot;vols ajudar a algú?&quot;
&quot;Aquí tens una manera de fer això&quot;. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1MPUs_psi1eWVK0n8WPFjtP9KxLOKYCNtwA7-Eh5bx1uyIVVEo_J4L24EJqYcWqIGA-WIipbq5WVuu3mDcipQq2qXUqBVJU-wCDG_uSfShQB4LnpcufmkmWxNVP1613bka6KqNY7Xbk/s1600/Coraz%25C3%25B3n+Teaming+peque.png&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1MPUs_psi1eWVK0n8WPFjtP9KxLOKYCNtwA7-Eh5bx1uyIVVEo_J4L24EJqYcWqIGA-WIipbq5WVuu3mDcipQq2qXUqBVJU-wCDG_uSfShQB4LnpcufmkmWxNVP1613bka6KqNY7Xbk/s1600/Coraz%25C3%25B3n+Teaming+peque.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: CA;&quot;&gt;La nostra editorial, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial,&lt;/i&gt; té menys d&#39;un any
d&#39;existència. Publiquem llibres de poesia i narrativa d&#39;escriptors multilingües
que creuen un pont imaginari entre Nova York i Barcelona -les ciutats que més
ens apassionen-. Aquest estiu, hem tingut l&#39;oportunitat de conèixer a una gran
persona, el &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil Van Eyle&lt;/i&gt;, un executiu
de 45 anys, prim, no particularment alt, amb ulls blaus brillants, que viu a
Barcelona amb la seva família.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: CA;&quot;&gt;Tal com anàvem coneixent la història
del &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil&lt;/i&gt; i de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming&lt;/i&gt;, es feien aparents alguns paral·lelismes amb la nostra
editorial, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt;. Perquè com
editors, també creiem en la idea del treball en equip en el qual tots nosaltres
sabem com fer moltes coses diferents: parlem diferents idiomes, editem,
traduïm, desenvolupem el disseny gràfic, i ens encarreguem de la distribució i
les vendes. No sabríem com treballar d&#39;una manera diferent. Per al &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil&lt;/i&gt;, que sempre ha treballat com a
equip, i és un àvid admirador del &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Futbol
Club Barcelona&lt;/i&gt;, l&#39;estratègia per crear una organització sense oficina ni
compte bancari ha estat la de donar suport a la gent que, metafòricament pot
jugar en qualsevol posició - migcampista, defensa o davanter- de manera que
tothom fiqui gols.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: CA;&quot;&gt;També creiem que fer coses per
altres, amb un cor obert, és la millor manera de ser creatiu i, de gaudir de la
vida, i per tant, posem el nostre cor i la nostra ànima en tot allò que fem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: CA;&quot;&gt;No sempre tenim l&#39;oportunitat de fer
alguna cosa important en el món. Molts de nosaltres estem compromesos en la
construcció d&#39;un món millor, però és molt fàcil desanimar-se quan el dolor de
la guerra, de la fam, de la violència, els problemes que nosaltres mateixos
generem, se sumen o s&#39;afegixen als esdeveniments que no podem canviar com els
desastres naturals. Quan el terratrèmol d&#39;Haití, part de la desesperació dels
que volien ajudar va venir d’un sentiment d’impotència, de que som massa petits
per fer res eficaç. Només les estrelles de cinema, o les grans fundacions poden
ajudar a canviar la vida de les persones? Tots volem contribuir de manera
concreta, perquè sabem que és el nostre deure com a éssers humans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

practicar el que prediquem, mentre treballàvem en la publicació d&#39;aquest
llibre, els membres de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt;
ens vàrem unir a &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming USA&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Puc parlar per mi mateixa, com traductora en el
projecte, del que em va succeir&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;quan em
vaig unir. El fet de traduir del castellà a l’anglès la història de la filla
del &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil&lt;/i&gt;, la &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Mònica&lt;/i&gt;, que va néixer amb hidrocefàlia, va ser una experiència
emotiva. Treballar amb la nostra fotògrafa, la &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Cèlia Miralles&lt;/i&gt;, que va fer les fotos que anirien en la portada i
contraportada del llibre, va ser també molt emotiu. Les imatges de la Mònica em
vàrem motivar a ajudar a algú. Vaig llegir en la pàgina web de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming USA&lt;/i&gt; que és bo treballar per una
causa en la que creus, propera al teu cor, i això va ser el que vaig fer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: CA;&quot;&gt;En primer lloc, vaig crear un grup &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming&lt;/i&gt; per donar suport en la prevenció
de suïcidis de nois i noies adolescents homosexuals, lesbianes i transexuals,
que pertanyen a minories ètniques, i que no tenen a qui o a on acudir. Vaig fer
la meva primera donació d&#39;un dòlar al grup i vaig escriure un correu electrònic
a tots els meus amics i coneguts a Facebook, Twitter i tumblr. I llavors, va
succeir&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;una cosa màgica. Com havia estat
asseguda davant l&#39;ordinador tota la tarda, vaig respirar profundament i fer
alguns estiraments, per poder tornar a treballar en el llibre. Però vaig sentir
un benestar tan gran, que de sobte em vaig aixecar i vaig ballar. Em vaig
trobar somrient i fent espirals a peu coix davant de l&#39;ordinador. Aquesta
petita donació ja havia tingut una influència positiva en la meva pròpia vida,
i això que encara el llibre no estava acabat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: CA;&quot;&gt;El &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Dalai Lama&lt;/i&gt; sovint parla de la compassió d&#39;una manera que és
plenament accessible a les persones que l’escolten en totes les parts del món:
la nostra compassió cap a un sol individu irradia cap a l’exterior, i dóna
forma a les nostres accions cap als altres. Irònicament, la ciència ha estat
una de les millors aliades en la confirmació del valor de practicar la
compassió com una forma de vida, i el &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Dalai
Lama&lt;/i&gt; dóna suport a l&#39;obra de la neurociència i de la psicologia que prova
aquests beneficis. De fet, avui en dia, publicar llibres, formar un equip de
futbol, o portar un missatge de pau i compassió per a tot el món, pot ser un
tema molt tècnic. Però ajudar a una persona i sentir ganes de ballar no ho és.
Aquesta és la raó per la qual &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Escritorial&lt;/i&gt;
publica aquest llibre sobre &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming&lt;/i&gt;.
Una cosa tan simple ha començat a generar milions de micro donacions que estan
canviant milers de vides. Per això volem presentar-te al &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Jil Van Eyle&lt;/i&gt; i explicar-te la història de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Teaming&lt;/i&gt;.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Como digo, he vuelto a la ciudad de la geometría curva y las columnas que desafían la gravedad, sin un motivo especial. Dice &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Baudelaire&lt;/i&gt; que “Los verdaderos viajeros son aquellos que parten por partir”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-TRAD&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Me instalé en un hostal de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/i&gt;, cerca de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;La Boquería&lt;/i&gt;. El sol salía a la derecha de mi balcón, y por encima de mi cabeza se alzaban las inquietantes gárgolas del edificio contiguo, que por la noche parecían tomar vida para adueñarse de los extraños inquilinos que osaran perturbar su silencio. Por si acaso, siempre cerraba el balcón cuando me iba a dormir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCjDvtnSuWUu7UeV0fwfYPoVWtiwN3n0h1YOfHd1hfnv-xpehkvagg8U6IXvhcRT7tHTmUENwp_XVtbYlyNnE2pt79uxvCgebwLD02Gte7DbaHUtzgaitekWXclmhLheuy3vbWbL9ojKo/s1600/DSC08467.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCjDvtnSuWUu7UeV0fwfYPoVWtiwN3n0h1YOfHd1hfnv-xpehkvagg8U6IXvhcRT7tHTmUENwp_XVtbYlyNnE2pt79uxvCgebwLD02Gte7DbaHUtzgaitekWXclmhLheuy3vbWbL9ojKo/s320/DSC08467.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-TRAD&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Mi primera visita fue al mercado de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;La Boquería&lt;/i&gt;. A pesar de la temprana hora, ya había muchos turistas con su cámara enfocando los deslumbrantes colores de las frutas, que se abrían lujuriosas a los ojos y al olfato, incitando al paladar, y reclamaban una de aquellas tarrinas primorosamente preparadas con frutas exóticas traídas de los más variados países. Luego me detenía en los puestos de bombones, colocados en receptáculos ascendentes para que todos gozaran de la misma oportunidad al comprador: chocolate blanco, negro, de color cacao; con variedad de formas, delicias rematadas por sombrerillos de frutos secos, provocando al paladar … y las pinzas por aquí y por allá tanteando cuál me llevaría al cartucho … Vasos de zumos dignos de la paleta de un pintor o del objetivo de un fotógrafo. Gentes moviéndose de un puesto a otro, deteniéndose para apuntar algún nombre desconocido, hacer una instantánea o, simplemente, mirar. Un mercado abierto desde las 8 de la mañana a 8 de la tarde; con la paciencia de sus vendedores aguantando el torrente turístico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoPwZkBHlSeIhj6sWIS_SB7b2HQWDjCRIZ4f4_H5DBOFHPvzsBOxTWdRf6-_zv1CXn368m6yWo1SuG0NfJLw-8Ny2zjQBeleIA3tZm3hLF46i01WInvXriqdFaLIZWEY986w6KZL-45vg/s1600/_DSC0066.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;214&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoPwZkBHlSeIhj6sWIS_SB7b2HQWDjCRIZ4f4_H5DBOFHPvzsBOxTWdRf6-_zv1CXn368m6yWo1SuG0NfJLw-8Ny2zjQBeleIA3tZm3hLF46i01WInvXriqdFaLIZWEY986w6KZL-45vg/s320/_DSC0066.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-TRAD&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Solía comprar una tarrina de fruta: 2 o 3 euros, según tamaño y variedad.&amp;nbsp; La degustaba sentada al filo de mi cama mirando al bulevar. Enfrente se colocaba una estatua viviente de un senador romano, vestido con toga. A los turistas que se hacían una foto con él, el senador les colocabas una corona de laurel dorado en la cabeza. A lo largo del paseo de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/i&gt; hay más estatuas vivientes: la del hombre bicicleta con la niña-esqueleto, frente al &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Liceo&lt;/i&gt;, que pedalean cuando se les echa una moneda, Cleopatras&amp;nbsp; aguardando a su Marco Antonio, toreros en paro, esqueletos boxeadores, ángeles femeninos, duendes, monstruos inquietantes, cortesanas escapadas de la guillotina … Más abajo, en dirección a la estatua de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Colón&lt;/i&gt; se encuentran los pintores y caricaturistas, que se quejan de la crisis, y soportan mucho frío.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-TRAD&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Pero como no hay ciudad que pueda prescindir del turista, a lo largo del bulevar hay muchos kioscos con miles de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;souvenires&lt;/i&gt;: reproducciones en miniatura de las obras de artistas que han dejado impronta en la ciudad, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Miró, Gaudí, Picasso &lt;/i&gt;…, asequibles en precio y tamaño para que entren en la maleta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Ella ha sido testigo de mis paseos solitarios, donde mis ojos se han cruzado con ojos de rostros de muchos países, he escuchado lenguas que no conocía salvo por la cadencia, y me he dejado llevar por la riada humana que intenta sobrevivir el día a día como en cualquier lugar de la tierra. No me he sentido extraña, salvo conmigo misma, en ocasiones. He visitado los barrios emblemáticos de Barcelona, que me recomendó Merche, mi amiga catalana-neoyorkina, tan acertadamente: &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;El Borne, El Gótico&lt;/i&gt;, con sus callejuelas antiguas, cargadas de historia, remozadas por multitud de tiendas, cafeterías, charcuterías … Placitas acogedoras y catedrales cuyas piedras han sido testigos de importantes y solemnes acontecimientos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-TRAD&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-TRAD&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;- Perdón ¿por dónde se va a la Plaza de Cataluña?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-TRAD&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-TRAD&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;-&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Todo recto, señora&lt;/i&gt;… &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;siga todo recto&lt;/i&gt;, era la amable respuesta de la gente a la que preguntaba.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-TRAD&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Y otro día un hueco para recorrer la &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Barceloneta&lt;/i&gt;, el barrio de pescadores que me recordó a los de Nápoles, con sus callejuelas colgadas de ropa, como abanderando la ciudad, sus casas aún conservan el ocre desvaído de sus fachadas, algunas muy viejas, pero que llevan su vejez con dignidad. Todo el barrio tiene una unidad arquitectónica que afortunadamente no ha sido alterada, y que debe ser respetada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Por el paseo marítimo, algunos ancianos paseaban su nostalgia, quizás de pescadores, y otros más jóvenes, con prendas deportivas, corrían al ritmo de sus auriculares. Me senté en un bar a tomar un café. Pensé que tenía aquella noche una cita con una amiga: Celia, la fotógrafa que capta con su cámara la belleza de los detalles que animan las cosas. También sabía que Celia recorre la ciudad en su &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Harley&lt;/i&gt;, a la que mima y abrillanta y de la que tengo una foto preciosa del espejo retrovisor. A Celia le gusta llamarse &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=Life&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff6600; font-family: &amp;quot;Bradley Hand ITC&amp;quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-TRAD&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;, así firma su blog y sus correos, así figura en el costado de su moto. Aún&amp;nbsp; no conocía de ella su amoroso carácter, su sonrisa serena, su apacible conversación. Después de un tiempo robado a su descanso, he compartido con ella los momentos más emotivos de mi viaje a Barcelona.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Barcelona: The City of Unusual Gravity and Curved Geometry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have returned to Barcelona after many years, except for a brief visit in 2010 to attend Vilapoética; a few days of poetry after which I took advantage of some free hours to walk around the Gothic neighborhood while passing the time before my return flight to Málaga. As I said, I&#39;ve returned to the city of curved geometry and columns that defy gravity, for no special reason. Baudelaire said that   &quot;The true travelers are those who go just to go&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLZUQdb_-AIBBd3BsDtcFrjcyhQ1jE9Vj3bFd2g3l6VjajpbOJWdJ3XehzbSKYSAF0ZICrlFWqdfg8FFR0E0b9uzQM0GX1y2_mZikFJtP4OtqEGJNQImhDtutEFlTAGLK1WhuIHriJfo/s1600/_DSC0118.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;214&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLZUQdb_-AIBBd3BsDtcFrjcyhQ1jE9Vj3bFd2g3l6VjajpbOJWdJ3XehzbSKYSAF0ZICrlFWqdfg8FFR0E0b9uzQM0GX1y2_mZikFJtP4OtqEGJNQImhDtutEFlTAGLK1WhuIHriJfo/s320/_DSC0118.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I settled myself into a guest house on La Rambla, near the Boquería. The sun came from the right of my balcony, and above my head rose the disturbing gargoyles of the adjoining building which, at night, seemed to come to life in order to seize any tenants that dared disturb their silence. Just in case, I always closed the balcony when I went to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My first visit was to the Boquería market. In spite of the early hour, there were already lots of tourists with their cameras focused on the dazzling colors of the fruits that displayed themselves luxuriously for the eyes and nose, stimulating the palate and recalling one of those little cups neatly prepared with exotic fruits brought from the most exotic lands. Later, I paused at the chocolate stands, with their wares displayed in ascending racks so that everyone could enjoy the same opportunity to see them as the buyer: white, dark, cacao colored, in a variety of shapes; chocolate delights finished with caps of dried fruit to entice the senses... and my tongs darting back and forth evaluating which I could fit in the box... Glasses of juices worthy of a painter&#39;s palette or to be the subject of a photograph. People moving from one stall to another, pausing to point out some unfamiliar name, take a snapshot, or simply look. A market open from 8 in the morning to 8 in the evening with it&#39;s patient vendors enduring the torrent of tourists.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsj-QmyZpiQTxLVEua5q5kS1re8m08qpYFzRcxVmkjyNXNU_5Bnuria8qg6OanfcV76lea1rmLjn9f6HZDwfd3wHqPnFL-zHh1qQwMhgjD7mr69dOqe1JJ3_RJSRpmJvr6VS7dla-Y0cM/s1600/DSC08468.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsj-QmyZpiQTxLVEua5q5kS1re8m08qpYFzRcxVmkjyNXNU_5Bnuria8qg6OanfcV76lea1rmLjn9f6HZDwfd3wHqPnFL-zHh1qQwMhgjD7mr69dOqe1JJ3_RJSRpmJvr6VS7dla-Y0cM/s320/DSC08468.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;﻿﻿﻿﻿&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;I bought a cup of fruit: 2 or 3 euros, according to the size and variety, and enjoyed it while seated on the edge of my bed, watching the boulevard. Across the street was a living statue of a Roman senator, dressed in a toga. He will place a crown of golden laurel on the head of any tourist who wishes to be photographed with him. Along the length of the Paseo de la Rambla are many living statues: the bicyclist with the skeleton child in front of the Liceo, who pedals when tossed a coin, Cleopatra guarding her Mark Antony, bullfighters on strike, boxing skeletons, feminine angels, goblins, disturbing monsters, courtesans escaped from the guillotine... Farther down, in the direction of the statue of Columbus, are found the painters and caricaturists who complain about the economic crisis and endure the cold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, since there is no city that can do without the tourist, along the boulevard are many kiosks with thousands of souvenirs: miniature reproductions of the works of artists that have left their mark on the city: Miró, Gaudí, Picasso... at affordable prices and in sizes that will fit into a suitcase. I&#39;ve lived on la Rambla for a few days. It&#39;s been witness to my solitary walks, where my eyes have met the eyes of faces from many countries. I&#39;ve listened to languages that I didn&#39;t know except by their rhythms and I was carried by the human flood that tries to survive, day by day as in any spot on Earth. I haven&#39;t felt an outsider except, on occasion, from myself. I&#39;ve visited the emblematic neighborhoods of Barcelona that were so aptly recommended by Merche, my Catalan-New Yorker friend: El Borne, El Gótico, with it&#39;s old alleys, loaded with history, rejuvenated with a multitude of shops, cafés, delicatessens... Welcoming pleasures and cathedrals whose stones have witnessed important and solemn events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Pardon me. How can I get to the Plaza de Catalunya?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Straight ahead ma&#39;am... continue straight ahead&quot; was the amiable reply of those I asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It&#39;s houses even retain the discolored ochre of their facades, some very old, but they wear their age with dignity. The entire neighborhood has an architectural unity that, fortunately, hasn&#39;t been altered and that should be respected.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;tr align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;I came out onto the Barceloneta beach, where I sat facing the sea which was a luminous, tranquil blue that resisted the January winter. Along the seaside walk some elderly people strolled in their nostalgia, perhaps for fisherman, and others, younger, dressed in sportswear, ran to the rhythms in their headphones. I seated myself in a bar to have a coffee and thought of the plan I had to meet that night with a friend: Celia, the photographer who, with her camera, captures the beauty of the details that bring things to life. I also knew that Celia traveled the city on her Harley, which she pampers and polishes, and of whose rear-view mirror I have a beautiful photo. Celia likes to call herself &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=Life&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff6600; font-family: &amp;quot;Bradley Hand ITC&amp;quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;. It&#39;s how she signs her blog and her correspondence and it appears on the side of her motorcycle. But I didn&#39;t know her warm character, her serene smile, her gentle conversation. In some time stolen from her rest, I shared with her the most moving moments of my visit to Barcelona.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Com dic, he tornat a la ciutat de la geometria corba i les columnes que desafien la gravetat, sense un motiu especial. Diu en &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Baudelaire&lt;/i&gt; que “Els veritables viatgers són aquells que parteixen per partir”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Em vaig instal·lar en un hostal de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/i&gt;, a prop de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;La Boqueria&lt;/i&gt;. El sol sortia a la dreta de la meva balconada, i per sobre del meu cap s&#39;alçaven les inquietants gàrgoles de l&#39;edifici contigu, que per la nit semblaven prendre vida per a ensenyorir-se dels estranys inquilins que gosessin pertorbar el seu silenci. Si de cas, sempre tancava la balconada quan m&#39;anava a dormir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A pesar de la primerenca hora, ja havia molts turistes amb la seva càmera enfocant els enlluernadors colors de les fruites, que s&#39;obrien luxurioses als ulls i a l&#39;olfacte, incitant al paladar i reclamava un d&#39;aquells recipients primorosament preparats amb fruites exòtiques portades dels més variats països. Després em detenia en les parades dels bombons, col·locats en uns tubs ascendents perquè tots gaudissin de la mateixa oportunitat al comprador: xocolata blanca, negre, de color cacau; amb varietat de formes, delícies rematades per barrets de fruits secs, provocant al paladar…i les pinces per aquí i per allà temptejant quin em duria a la paperina … Gots de sucs dignes de la taujana d&#39;un pintor o de l&#39;objectiu d&#39;un fotògraf. Gent movent-se d&#39;un lloc a un altre, detenint-se per a anotar &amp;nbsp;algun nom desconegut, fer una instantània o, simplement, mirar. Un mercat obert des de les 8 del matí a 8 del vespre; amb la paciència dels seus venedors aguantant el torrent turístic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

La degustava asseguda al caient del meu llit mirant al &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=Bulevar&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;bulevar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Davant es col·locava una estàtua vivent d&#39;un senador romà, vestit amb toga. Als turistes que es feien una foto amb ell, el senador els col·locaves una corona de llorer daurat en el cap. Al llarg del passeig de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/i&gt; hi ha més estàtues vivents: la de l&#39;home bicicleta amb la nena-esquelet, enfront del &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Liceu&lt;/i&gt;, que &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=pedalean&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;pedalejen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; quan se&#39;ls tira una moneda, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=Cleopatras&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Cleopatres&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; esperant al seu Marc Antonio, toreros en atur, esquelets boxadors, àngels femenins, follets, monstres inquietants, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=cortesanas&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;cortesanes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; escapades de la guillotina… Més abaix, en direcció a l&#39;estàtua de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Colón&lt;/i&gt; es troben els pintors i caricaturistes, que es queixen de la crisi, i suporten molt fred.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Però com no hi ha ciutat que pugui prescindir del turista, al llarg del &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=bulevar&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;bulevar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; hi ha molts &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=kioscos&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;quioscos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; amb milers de &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=souvenires&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;souvenires&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;: reproduccions en miniatura de les obres d&#39;artistes que han deixat empremta en la ciutat, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Miró, Gaudí, Picasso&lt;/i&gt;…, assequibles en preu i grandària per a que càpiguen en la maleta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;En &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/i&gt; he viscut durant uns pocs dies. Ella ha estat testimoni dels meus passejos solitaris, on els meus ulls s&#39;han creuat amb ulls de rostres de molts països, he escoltat llengües que no coneixia excepte&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt; &lt;/b&gt;per la seva cadència, i m&#39;he deixat dur per la riuada humana que intenta sobreviure el dia a dia com en qualsevol lloc de la terra. No m&#39;he sentit estranya, excepte amb mi mateixa, en ocasions. He visitat els barris emblemàtics de Barcelona, que em va recomanar &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=Merche&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Merche&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, la meva amiga catalana-neoyorkina, tan encertadament: el &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Born&lt;/i&gt;, el &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Gòtic&lt;/i&gt;, amb els seus carrerons antics, carregats d&#39;història, adornades per multitud de botigues, cafeteries, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=charcuter%C3%ADas&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;xarcuteries&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;… &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=Placitas&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Placetes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; acollidores i catedrals, les pedres de les quals han estat testimonis d&#39;importants i solemnes esdeveniments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;- Perdó, per on puc anar a la Plaça de Catalunya?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;-Tot recte, senyora … segueixi tot recte, era l&#39;amable resposta de la gent a la qual preguntava.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;I un altre dia, un forat per a recórrer la &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Barceloneta&lt;/i&gt;, el barri dels pescadors que em va recordar als de Nàpols, amb els seus carrerons penjats de roba, com abanderant la ciutat, les seves cases encara conserven l’&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=ocre&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;ocre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; pàl·lid de les seves façanes, algunes molt velles, però que duen la seva vellesa amb dignitat. Tot el barri té una unitat arquitectònica que afortunadament no ha estat alterada, i que ha de ser respectada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Pel passeig marítim, alguns ancians passejaven la seva nostàlgia, potser de pescadors, i altres més joves, amb peces esportives, corrien al ritme dels seus auriculars. Em vaig asseure en un bar a prendre un cafè. Vaig pensar que aquella nit tenia una cita amb una amiga: la Cèlia, la fotògrafa que capta amb la seva càmera la bellesa dels detalls que animen les coses. També sabia que la Cèlia recorre la ciutat en la seva &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=Harley&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Harley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a la qual acarona i abrillanta i de la qual tinc una foto preciosa del seu &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=retrovisor&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;retrovisor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. A la Cèlia li agrada dir-se &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;color: #ff6600; font-family: &amp;quot;Bradley Hand ITC&amp;quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=Life&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff6600; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;, així signa el seu &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internostrum.com/insbil/index.php?lang=es-ca&amp;amp;palabra=blog&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;blog&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; i els seus correus, així figura en el costat de la seva moto. Encara no coneixia d&#39;ella el seu amorós caràcter, el seu somriure serè, la seva afable conversa. Després d&#39;un temps robat al seu descans, he compartit amb ella els moments més emotius del meu viatge a Barcelona.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Son los balcones que cuelgan sobre la &lt;i&gt;Plaça Reial&lt;/i&gt;, algunas cúpulas de colores o la persiana todavía cerrada del &lt;i&gt;Mesón del Café&lt;/i&gt;. Porque las persianas de los negocios barceloneses también tienen su propia historia y colorido. Por supuesto los torreones no quieren ser menos y avisan a los rosetones y a la nave central de la catedral dedicada a Santa Eulalia, que se despierten para que nadie deje de fijarse en su estilo gótico y admirarlo. A lo largo del día, las miradas se desconcentran y se enfocan en los detalles como si fueran máquinas de filmar, y encuentran una ventana que parece salida de una prisión de alto riesgo o&amp;nbsp;fuentes en las que beben y se refrescan las palomas, porque ellas también habitan en esta ciudad mágica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv6_BfS16WVu9ZrrQ2MKl3mvo-2bwvt7KsvKRabz9llasGUem0HpkA33Hbu1fBGFSPGT2xBb2p1xkjC_genIjC1zqWmYC_Fbhyphenhyphen4Fg83JezDIYzcTZd6c3lufqThMo1f4EatsWYkjCMzWs/s1600/_DSC0072.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;132&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv6_BfS16WVu9ZrrQ2MKl3mvo-2bwvt7KsvKRabz9llasGUem0HpkA33Hbu1fBGFSPGT2xBb2p1xkjC_genIjC1zqWmYC_Fbhyphenhyphen4Fg83JezDIYzcTZd6c3lufqThMo1f4EatsWYkjCMzWs/s200/_DSC0072.JPG&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Pero lo más espectacular llega con el atardecer, cuando las sombras comienzan a bailar por la ciudad y aparecen por debajo de un arco, reflejadas en los edificios de piedra, o tras las bonitas farolas que cuelgan de las paredes. A veces se pueden ver a contraluz en la playa de la &lt;i&gt;Barceloneta&lt;/i&gt;, con los 99 metros que ocupa &lt;i&gt;El Hotel Vela&lt;/i&gt;, al final de la &lt;i&gt;Rosa&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; dels Vents&lt;/i&gt;, como una imagen icónica de la cultura del diseño que reina en la ciudad. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cuando anochece se encuentra uno en mundo fantasmagórico situado entre luces y sombras y aparece una visión diferente del &lt;i&gt;Museu Nacional d&#39;Art de Catalunya&lt;/i&gt; que se hallaba dormido, como un gigante de cuento. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGs5Ub25EUW7K2JNCHH0YZSzwvn4f69TcFm-TOOgY0D4j7tO8mElA09VqlVOGMubdPAPhz2cobYS3I0ie8rQy4SpS-ebzIple3DFKLDjv3kENvXeLj0Futg6zPZ5NFyH4YLrHxvrav54M/s1600/_DSC0097c.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;162&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGs5Ub25EUW7K2JNCHH0YZSzwvn4f69TcFm-TOOgY0D4j7tO8mElA09VqlVOGMubdPAPhz2cobYS3I0ie8rQy4SpS-ebzIple3DFKLDjv3kENvXeLj0Futg6zPZ5NFyH4YLrHxvrav54M/s200/_DSC0097c.JPG&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Y entonces cae la noche sin compasión y las terrazas encienden las luces y las calefacciones al exterior, cuando hace frío. El &lt;i&gt;Hotel Majestic&lt;/i&gt; se levanta majestuoso y desde la peluquería&lt;i&gt; Cebado&lt;/i&gt; se asoma una modelo que nos indica que es hora de marcharse a dormir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The blinds of the businesses of Barcelona have their own stories and colors.&amp;nbsp; Of course, the towers of the Cathedral of &lt;i&gt;Santa Eulàlia&lt;/i&gt; don&#39;t want to be overlooked, so they warn the rose window and nave to wake up so that nobody will fail to notice and admire their Gothic style. In the course of the day, as your glance loses concentration, it focuses on details as if it were a movie camera and had found a window that seems to open into a high security prison or fountains in which doves drink and refresh themselves, because they too live in this magic city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Al llarg del dia, les mirades es desconcentren i s&#39;enfoquen en els detalls com si fossin màquines de filmar, i troben una finestra que sembla sortida d&#39;una presó d&#39;alt risc o fonts en les que beuen i es refresquen els coloms, perquè ells també habiten en aquesta ciutat màgica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKmi9nLizJ5d2IQ-xQdwG3zHik3LGiZcKZqTAcuZf_WTN3c9MHNF6EJpk23hKrYDaj-jxkbGbihSS3v7macqy9doUDOkFdARaOGWkeyx1St2wWujS2hwe4KICFVAt7amk-Xqk1dD9Y7Uc/s1600/Palomas+fuente+Sant+Pau.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;212&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKmi9nLizJ5d2IQ-xQdwG3zHik3LGiZcKZqTAcuZf_WTN3c9MHNF6EJpk23hKrYDaj-jxkbGbihSS3v7macqy9doUDOkFdARaOGWkeyx1St2wWujS2hwe4KICFVAt7amk-Xqk1dD9Y7Uc/s320/Palomas+fuente+Sant+Pau.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;Però el més espectacular arriba amb el capvespre, quan les ombres comencen a ballar per la ciutat i apareixen per sota d&#39;un arc, reflectides en els edificis de pedra, o darrera dels bonics fanals que pengen de les parets.

Quan es fa fosc es troba un en món fantasmagòric entre llums i ombres i apareix una visió diferent del &lt;i&gt;Museu Nacional d&#39;Art de Catalunya&lt;/i&gt; que es trobava adormit, com un gegant de conte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

(Esto me recuerda cuando me saqué un máster en escritura creativa en Goddard College en Vermont y me vinieron a ver mi madre y mi hermano al discurso final de graduación. Me felicitaron y se pusieron a hablar de sus cosas. Yo les dije: - Oye, que aquí hay que hablar de mi discurso durante todos los días que estáis por aquí, no sólo un minuto y como si no hubiera existido, por lo menos un día por cada año de trabajo. Se quedaron perplejos, pero con el tiempo lo han utilizado en beneficio propio. Así &amp;nbsp;que la celebración por la copa de Europa ha de durar un poco más, sino no vale).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

El Barça se paseó por el campo, una vez más, imponiendo su juego &amp;nbsp;y sin dar oportunidades al Manchester United de desplegar el suyo, con un sistema infalible: tenían la pelota porque la estaban jugando o recuperando.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They have their own star that never fails to shine.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Amb aquesta entrada volem, per descomptat, parlar de Barcelona, ​​però també volem allargar una mica el parlar de la passió que va causar el Barça a la final de la copa d&#39;Europa. (Això em recorda quan em vaig treure un màster en escriptura creativa al &lt;i&gt;Goddard College&lt;/i&gt; a Vermont i em van venir a veure la meva mare i el meu germà al discurs final. Em van felicitar i es van posar a parlar de les seves coses. Jo els vaig dir: - Escolteu, que aquí hem de parlar del meu discurs durant tots els dies que esteu per aquí, no només un minut i com si no hagués existit, almenys un dia per cada any de treball. Es van quedar perplexos, però amb el temps l&#39;han utilitzat en benefici propi. Així que la celebració per la copa d&#39;Europa ha de durar una mica més, sinó no val).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

El Barça es va passejar pel camp, una vegada més, imposant el seu joc i sense donar oportunitats al Manchester United de desplegar el seu, amb un sistema infalible: tenien la pilota perquè l&#39;estaven jugant o recuperant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgwSH9srPKeZKDGTm3EbbccDD_vCeKxgQhHV_9vsCs79KNzas1mYtngG-f5QNAP2T5k_YIYiG8Qc4NiunO18gUu509SvjvHwtCIEJfg6bvCzzO63DuuH4o2AVgZV9KWiXOaRoW4IICfj0/s1600/_DSC0111.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgwSH9srPKeZKDGTm3EbbccDD_vCeKxgQhHV_9vsCs79KNzas1mYtngG-f5QNAP2T5k_YIYiG8Qc4NiunO18gUu509SvjvHwtCIEJfg6bvCzzO63DuuH4o2AVgZV9KWiXOaRoW4IICfj0/s320/_DSC0111.JPG&quot; width=&quot;214&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ningú esperava que de l&#39;escola del Barça sortissin tan bons jugadors, amb una tècnica tan brillant i tan elaborada, però és que el Barça ho ha fet bé de veritat. Primer gràcies a la visió del futbol de Johan Cruyff i després amb l&#39;aportació personal de Pep Guardiola al joc, el sistema holandès s&#39;ha convertit en el més brillant de la història. Però tornant a l&#39;essència del que volem explicar aquí: què va passar a Barcelona mentre el Barça jugava a Anglaterra?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Les banderes blaugranes van sortir al carrer i els gestos d&#39;esperança dels seguidors es van reflectir en els rostres entusiasmats i en els símbols pintats o en forma de paraigües, samarretes o gorres. En l&#39;arc de Triomf, l&#39;Ajuntament va col·locar una pantalla gegant a la qual es van afegir més i més seguidors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Els semàfors seguir complint amb la seva comesa de deixar passar a vianants i vehicles fantasmes, sense adonar-se que els cotxes s&#39;havien marxat al retir i els transeünts estaven amb la cara enganxada al televisor. L&#39;animació estava concentrada en alguns bars amb TV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE01lf5Ll4VPmBWOb1612smmm2_1M86mHVdE56n3LXL5B5lU6OoquH2W9Ms8gZA-jnYooYFa6U25gRi43bFPjgE8dZzp5TE6didT8ZHiDpckUD2FlMJyepDAV4kUI66fLf0Uef7WCY1QA/s1600/_DSC0030.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Una ciutat sense gent, ni soroll i gairebé sense ambulàncies perquè sembla que hi ha menys atacs al cor quan juga el Barça. Una ciutat deixada de banda per perseguir una pilota. Segons com es miri, el tema té tela, però cal tenir en compte qui li estava donant puntades de peu a la pilota. No eren unes puntades qualsevol.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ah Messi ... Tots d&#39;una manera o altra volem que fiqui gols, que segueixi triomfant, que segueixi amb aquesta genialitat que desborda de les seves botes, perquè gràcies a ell i a l&#39;entrenador Pep Guardiola amb cada partit guanyat, tots ens sentim una mica herois.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Las calles de alrededor de la &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Rambla Catalunya&lt;/i&gt; estaban colapsadas, no había aparcamiento por ninguna parte, pero por suerte habíamos ido en nuestras motos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Y por si fuera poco, además, es el día Internacional del Libro, por la conmemoración de la muerte de &lt;i&gt;Miguel de Cervantes&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Pues en ese día tan emblemático, tuvimos la oportunidad de estar en una mesa, la de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Parnass ediciones&lt;/i&gt;, gracias a &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Amalia Sanchís&lt;/i&gt; su fundadora, junto a otros escritores.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Pero sobretodo tuvimos la oportunidad de darnos cuenta que el libro no está muerto, que la gente quiere comprarlos, regalarlos, leerlos y quiere sentir el pulso de los que los escribieron. Que incluso, están dispuestos a salir a la calle y desplazarse hasta el centro, la Rambla Catalunya, el Corte Inglés de Diagonal, o de Catalunya, el FNAC o la Laie, aunque no les vaya de paso, y no lo puedan utilizar como excusa para escaparse del trabajo. Salen en búsqueda de una historia que les atrape, que les introduzca en un mundo mágico, que les inspire o les haga llorar. Salen en búsqueda de su escritor o mediático favorito, ya sea Bea Cabezas, Luis Racionero, Almudena Grandes, Miquel Roca o Buenafuente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yo personalmente no cabía dentro de mí por tener mi libro &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Viviendo campo a través (Memoirs, Poems and Stories)&lt;/i&gt; a la venta. Pero lo más importante de todo es que estuvimos todos unidos con un propósito en común: los libros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; style=&quot;mso-special-character: line-break; page-break-before: always;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

We drove down to the &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Rambla Catalunya&lt;/i&gt;, one on her Harley and the other riding Scoopy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

(It’s almost like a soccer match between &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Barça and Real Madrid!&lt;/i&gt;) People had not forgotten, and they were there. The streets surrounding &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Rambla Catalunya&lt;/i&gt; were overflowing, there was no parking available anywhere, but luckily we had driven our motorcycles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Once again, this well-known thoroughfare was invaded by tables, books, people, strollers, roses, and writers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sant Jordi&lt;/i&gt; is the Patron Saint of &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Catalunya&lt;/i&gt;, a knight who saved a princess from a dragon. And as if this weren’t enough, it is also International Book Day, commemorating the death of &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Miguel de Cervantes&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;This is why it’s a tradition for couples, lovers, friends, mothers and children, etc., to give each other a gift of a rose and a book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;And so, on this symbolic day we had the opportunity to be at a table with &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Parnass Ediciones&lt;/i&gt;, thanks to its founder, &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Amalia Sanchís&lt;/i&gt;, and in the company of other writers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

But above all we had the chance to realize that books are not dead, that people want to buy them, give them as gifts, read them, and want to feel close to those who wrote them, to feel the pulse of the writer. In fact, they are determined to go out on the street and spill over into downtown, to &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Rambla Catalunya&lt;/i&gt;, the &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Corte Inglés&lt;/i&gt; stores on Diagonal or &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Catalunya, the FNAC or the Laie&lt;/i&gt;, even if it’s out of their way, and they can’t use it as an excuse to skip out of work. They go out in search of a story to grab them, to introduce them to a magical world, to inspire them or make them cry. They go out in search of their favorite writer or media host, whether it’s &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Bea Cabezas, Luis Racionero, Almudena Grandes, Miquel Roca or Buenafuente.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Some of us authors waited anxiously as well, who would be interested in the worlds we had created? A world, real or fictional, that we wanted to share. Personally, I could barely stand it because I had my book &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Viviendo campo a través (Memoir, Poems, and Stories)&lt;/i&gt; for sale. But the most important part of all this is that we were all there together, united by a common purpose: books.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

(És gairebé com un partit de Barca Reial Madrid) La gent no s&#39;havia oblidat d&#39;estar present. Els carrers del voltant de la Rambla Catalunya estaven col·lapsades, no hi havia aparcament per enlloc, però per sort havíem anat en motos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;La Rambla Catalunya un any més estava envaïda de taules, llibres, gent, vianants, roses i escriptors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Sant Jordi, és el patró de Catalunya, un cavaller que va salvar a una princesa del drac. I per si fos poc, a més, és el dia Internacional del Llibre, per la commemoració de la mort del Miguel de Cervantes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Per això és costum que les parelles, amants, amics, mares i fills, etc. ... es regalin mútuament una rosa i un llibre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Doncs en aquest dia tan emblemàtic, vam tenir l&#39;oportunitat d&#39;estar en una taula, la de Parnass Edicions, gràcies a l’Amàlia Sanchís, la seva fundadora, al costat d&#39;altres escriptors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ens instal·lem a la taula per a signar llibres i veure passar la gent i passar i passar. Però sobretot vam tenir l&#39;oportunitat de donar-nos compte que el llibre no està mort, que la gent vol comprar-los, regalar, llegir-los i vol sentir el pols dels que els van escriure. Que fins i tot, estan disposats a sortir al carrer i desplaçar-se fins al centre, la Rambla Catalunya, el Corte Inglès de Diagonal, o de Catalunya, l&#39;FNAC o la Laie, encara que no els vagi de pas, i no ho puguin utilitzar com a excusa per escapar-se del treball. Surten a la recerca d&#39;una història que els atrapi, que els introdueixi en un món màgic, que els inspiri o els faci plorar. Surten a la recerca del seu escriptor o mediàtic favorit, ja sigui la Bea Cabezas, el Luis Racionero, l’Almudena Grandes, el Miquel Roca o en Buenafuente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Alguns autors vàrem esperar inquiets també, preguntant qui s&#39;interessaria pel món que havíem creat? Un món fictici o real que volíem compartir. Jo personalment no cabia dins meu per tenir el meu llibre Vivint camp a través (Memoirs, Poems and Stories) a la venda. Però el més important de tot és que vam estar tots units amb un propòsit en comú: els llibres.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Al rato se olvida de que está en un bar e incluso se olvida de que fue solo. Uno puedo mirar un disco de Edith Piaf colgado en la pared, carteles afiches, señales &amp;nbsp;y farolillos mientras Rheka, la camarera, sirve la bebida francesa Pastís (que da el nombre al local) o alcohol de una mesa a la otra. En el techo hay las consagradas vigas de madera.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A su lado está &amp;nbsp;Mariano Olivera, el guitarrista de voz melosa que la acompaña los martes en las noches de Tango. Otros se animan a cantar porque en lugares como éste, la creatividad brota por las esquinas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Many other places have dressed themselves up, but El Pastis remains impassive, situated on la  Calle Santa Monica 4, alongside la Rambla Canaletes, although posted outside is a sign for Calle Garcia Lorca (who, after all, is my favorite poet).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On the ceiling are the beloved wooden beams.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Un pot mirar un disc d&#39;Edith Piaf penjat a la paret, cartells, senyals i fanalets mentre Rheka, la cambrera, serveix la beguda francesa Pastís (que dóna el nom al local) o alcohol d&#39;una taula a l&#39;altra.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;&quot;&gt;Esa tarde Celia y yo bajamos en metro en la &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Plaça Catalunya&lt;/i&gt; con la intención de entrevistar a una&amp;nbsp; escritora en una librería.&amp;nbsp;Pero no en una librería cualquiera. Íbamos charlando hacia &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Pau Clarís&lt;/i&gt;. Doblamos la esquina y entramos en la &lt;b&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Librería Laie&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, no sin antes hacer unas cuantas fotos desde la calle y desde todos los ángulos posibles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Qué &amp;nbsp;título más sugerente. Entramos en sus páginas y fotografiamos las palabras. Nos llamó la atención Los Diarios de bicicleta de David Byrne por&amp;nbsp;su portada naranja.

En ese día de invierno, en una de las mesas&amp;nbsp; había una mujer de unos cincuenta años, con melena por el hombro, cabello castaño y canas que le blanqueaban en las raíces. No parecía ir a la moda porque seguramente no tenía tiempo. Levantó la cabeza un instante y nos sonrió. Frente a ella había una libreta. Garabateaba ideas y las borraba. Al poco le sonó el móvil. Suspiró, cogió la libreta y un libro de poemas de &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Noemi Trujillo&lt;/i&gt; denominado &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lejos de Valparaíso&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;y nos dijo: “este libro de poemas expresa los sinsabores del amor y del dolor, con tal fuerza &amp;nbsp;y musicalidad que me ha vuelto a hacer creer en la poesía y en el amor &amp;nbsp;a los maridos. Os recomiendo su siguiente libro de poemas&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;: &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;La muchacha de los ojos tristes”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

En aquest dia d&#39;hivern qualsevol, en una de les taules hi havia una dona d&#39;uns cinquanta anys, amb cabellera per l&#39;espatlla, cabell castany i cabells blancs que li blanquejaven en les arrels. No semblava anar a la moda perquè segurament no tenia temps. Va aixecar el cap un instant i ens va somriure. Enfront d&#39;ella hi havia una llibreta. Gargotejava idees i les esborrava. Li va sonar el mòbil. Va sospirar, agafar la llibreta i un llibre de poemes de &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;Noemi Trujillo&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; denominat &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;&quot;&gt;Lejos de Valparaíso&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;&quot;&gt; i ens va dir: “aquest llibre de poemes expressa les contrarietats de l&#39;amor i del dolor, amb tal força i musicalitat que em va tornar a fer creure en la poesia, en el amor i en els marits. Us recomano el seu següent llibre de poemes: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;&quot;&gt;La muchacha de los ojos tristes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;&quot;&gt;”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They are irresistable. So, La  Semproniana is a combination of culinary and architectural narratives told with verbal diarrhea.

&gt;Fotos: Celia Miralles&lt;br /&gt;Texto: Mercedes Salvador&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Barcelona y los barceloneses son una sociedad plural, acostumbrada a decidir qué hacer y a dónde ir. Debido a su ubicación privilegiada entre el mar Mediterráneo y a solo 120 kms de Francia y los Pirineos, los barceloneses cuando llega el fin de semana, salen disparados, para dejar atrás la urbe y reaparecer en la costa, las islas Baleares, el campo o la montaña.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero dentro de la ciudad también hay una dinámica propia.&lt;br /&gt;Gracias a las temperaturas cálidas que hay durante todo el año, se ha establecido el reinado de las dos ruedas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para los más conscientes del medioambiente, el Ayuntamiento ha dispuesto carriles-bicicleta por toda la ciudad y zonas de alquiler de &lt;strong&gt;bicis&lt;/strong&gt; (bicing) por todos los barrios.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero además es la segunda ciudad de Europa con más número de motos por metro cuadrado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y es que a los barceloneses no hay quien los pare y al igual que a los jugadores de futbol del Barca les va la velocidad, el ritmo frenético, driblar y el acelerón controlado. Por ello, en muchos semáforos, han colocado zonas especiales para motos. Cuando los semáforos de los peatones empiezan a parpadear, las motos rugen y arrancan bailando sobre el asfalto en una danza frenética que se olvida de la existencia de peatones, taxistas o coches. Es la fiebre de las dos ruedas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Algunos y algunas preferimos la &lt;strong&gt;moto pequeña&lt;/strong&gt; y rápida, como la Vespa, la Scoopy o la Scarabeo, porque te dan la agilidad para colarte por entre los coches, arrancar el primero en los semáforos y pasar cuando hay un lento delante. Esto último produce un gusto comparable a pocos placeres en la vida: arrancar, driblar, sentir el aire en la cara, dejar atrás a un Mercedes cuyo conductor habla por el móbil, o a un taxista que se para a recoger a un cliente son parte de las ventajas de ir en moto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyeOH4J6BF-SadwRkrWrIK7-EVPCQa2geVZ3oVrYgMEVLY3onVmrOoRyWxsbUPXFD47eek61TzmXGg7DTKDGiem-arOMsvxNXfE3N__x-hqYuBiSpc3ClLEIkN_98CNVdEIXbTgrkJxNs/s1600/_DSC0131.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497983899842991890&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 320px; cursor: pointer; height: 214px;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyeOH4J6BF-SadwRkrWrIK7-EVPCQa2geVZ3oVrYgMEVLY3onVmrOoRyWxsbUPXFD47eek61TzmXGg7DTKDGiem-arOMsvxNXfE3N__x-hqYuBiSpc3ClLEIkN_98CNVdEIXbTgrkJxNs/s320/_DSC0131.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero hay otros que lo disfrutan de una forma especial y estos son los propetarios de una &lt;strong&gt;Harley Davidson&lt;/strong&gt;. En la tercera reunión de Harleys en Barcelona, los hay que se quejaron del ruido infernal que producían diez mil tubos de escape rugiendo a la vez, pero los que las llevaban opinan:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;It&#39;s the way we live on our own terms.&lt;br /&gt;It shows the world exactly where we stand.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEica7fHT-kjw1LcmYPxy-xIqhxrZ_uOnHhB74XSU1heVZQp2u9wfgPIudd4YlaDhTix5NeurGyJ1bRyF5FFxtXp4KV1Yg5nUeUVT60UaAgHblOhpD_cbYj3nI8FN38KRpH9LfRFj6WDJME/s1600/_DSC0013.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497748910811470866&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 320px; cursor: pointer; height: 214px;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEica7fHT-kjw1LcmYPxy-xIqhxrZ_uOnHhB74XSU1heVZQp2u9wfgPIudd4YlaDhTix5NeurGyJ1bRyF5FFxtXp4KV1Yg5nUeUVT60UaAgHblOhpD_cbYj3nI8FN38KRpH9LfRFj6WDJME/s320/_DSC0013.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es una filosofia grupal de unos 900.000 miembros, devotos a la ¨Harley style¨ como forma de vida o de expresión.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para &lt;em&gt;Zool, saca el punto &quot;gamberro&quot; que cada uno lleva, supongo que por toda la historia que hay en los riders....no es una forma de vida, es una herramienta para vivir¨.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Para Larma &lt;em&gt;ir en Harley, es una mezcla de satisfacción y orgullo.

La banda sonora (Jimmy Hendrix, Steppenwolf y Bob Dylan entre otros) rebosa libertad por todas las esquinas. Según dice el blog de aficionados a Harley. Recientemente &lt;em&gt;Cerdos salvajes&lt;/em&gt; con John Travolta pretendió revivir esa pasión por la libertad. Con ello queda un poco más atrás la imagen de dueños de Harley como angeles del infierno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los de fuera, sin embargo, no podemos dejar de maravillarnos al ver esas motos como felinos ágiles en plena carrera, &lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc5UwiIJwvAIem916_EixgaS9eoCBMbmhuxoYQM0DztesnSLE716kZjeddVqbNjrYCZgM0Pl8K8R1EHUW7YHgQ8ejbpVmSsdr6LBP7Y5B0FU6dCS9YNQW1pQ3-cJOrvdpR8bs4_gi1_Jw/s1600/_DSC0023.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497753263386431954&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 320px; cursor: pointer; height: 214px;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc5UwiIJwvAIem916_EixgaS9eoCBMbmhuxoYQM0DztesnSLE716kZjeddVqbNjrYCZgM0Pl8K8R1EHUW7YHgQ8ejbpVmSsdr6LBP7Y5B0FU6dCS9YNQW1pQ3-cJOrvdpR8bs4_gi1_Jw/s320/_DSC0023.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;que se deslizan y parecen cruzar la barrera del viento.

Due to its privileged location on the Mediterranean Sea only 75 miles from France and the Pyrenees, when the weekend arrives, the Barceloneses leave the city behind to head for the coast, the countryside, the mountains or the Balearic Islands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But within, the city has its own dynamic. Thanks to the warm temperatures that prevail year-round, the reign of two wheels has established itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those most conscious of the environment, the city government has placed bicycle racks throughout the city and bicycle rental zones (&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;bicing&lt;/span&gt;) in every neighborhood. But this is one of the European cities with highest number of motos per square mile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there&#39;s no stopping the Barceloneses. Like the futbol players of team Barca, they go at full speed, moving to a frantic rhythm with controlled bursts of acceleration. That&#39;s why, at many traffic lights, there are special moto zones. When the pedestrian lights begin to blink, the motos roar and take off in a frenzied dance over the asphalt, disregarding the existence of pedestrians, taxis or autos. It&#39;s the fever of two wheels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of us prefer &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;motos &lt;/span&gt;like the small and quick Vespa, Scoopy or Scarabeo because they give you the agility to sneak between the cars, get away first at lights and pass when there&#39;s a slowpoke ahead. The last produces a pleasure comparable to few others in life: to pull away, to feel the wind on your face, to leave behind a Mercedes whose driver is talking on his cell phone or a taxi stopping to pick up a passenger are some of the advantages of going by moto.&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz5wJqWT0QPVU2X3k7Mm_MjP6UDVFI27oLgfOlPDXuXq2F0RRkKhUIBVTLUf2cC1f1acEGZAYtJcf3RynifoUy7idMfGBIq6GlJ_j467rgPgSfqNXhmIGDi-Da1HhmKO3jI-nx7ddj4MU/s1600/_DSC0014.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz5wJqWT0QPVU2X3k7Mm_MjP6UDVFI27oLgfOlPDXuXq2F0RRkKhUIBVTLUf2cC1f1acEGZAYtJcf3RynifoUy7idMfGBIq6GlJ_j467rgPgSfqNXhmIGDi-Da1HhmKO3jI-nx7ddj4MU/s320/_DSC0014.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501663513927229938&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there are some who enjoy a special form and they are the owners of &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Harley Davidsons&lt;/span&gt;.

The soundtrack (Jimmy Hendrix, Steppenwolf, Bob Dylan among others) radiates freedom from every corner. According to the blog of Harley fans. Recently, &lt;em&gt;Wild Hogs&lt;/em&gt; with John Travolta tried to revive this passion for freedom. With it, the image of Harley owners as Hell&#39;s Angels was left a little farther behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any event, we outsiders can&#39;t stop being amazed to see these motorcycles like agile felines at full speed, that slip away and seem to cross all barriers. But up close, the details are blinding. Exhaust pipes shaped like a heart, little bells hanging in the most unsuspected places, with their own story, disc wheels or spoked, 16&quot; diameter or 21&quot; ,horns with chromed covers, air filter covers with medallions, handlebar clamps, silver plated kickstarters, fur saddles, screaming eagle accessories.&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsNoZiXZVibfPlv4WZdQYbd6wUlqF5mgLyRSWKGdMsoyHBaITnmSUwhScBrz8yAR5R7lkVqqRLI6B8pfDzmuZdQssC0xS3Ok_70KPX60_DjgVE5F8ReAE5jEDEKESDDFFJOdVj6h9qYPM/s1600/_DSC0174.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsNoZiXZVibfPlv4WZdQYbd6wUlqF5mgLyRSWKGdMsoyHBaITnmSUwhScBrz8yAR5R7lkVqqRLI6B8pfDzmuZdQssC0xS3Ok_70KPX60_DjgVE5F8ReAE5jEDEKESDDFFJOdVj6h9qYPM/s320/_DSC0174.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501671951058728962&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;James: &quot;My Harley isn&#39;t a means of transport, it&#39;s a means of pleasure and satisfaction!

A causa de la seva ubicació privilegiada entre el Mar Mediterrani i a només 120 kms de França i els Pirineus, els barcelonins quan arriba el cap de setmana, deixen enrere la urbs per a marxar-se a la costa, les illes Balears, al camp o a la muntanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Però dins de la ciutat també hi ha una dinàmica pròpia. Gràcies a les temperatures càlides que hi ha durant tot l&#39;any, s&#39;ha establert el regnat de les dues rodes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per als més conscients del medi ambient l&#39;Ajuntament ha disposat carrils-biccleta per tota la ciutat i zones de lloguer de &lt;strong&gt;bicis&lt;/strong&gt; (bicing) per tots els barris. Però a més, és una de les ciutats d&#39;Europa amb més nombre de motos per metre quadrat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I és que als barcelonins ni hi ha qui els pari, igual que als jugadors de futbol del Barça, els va la velocitat, el ritme frenètic, driblar i l&#39;accelerar controlat. Per això, en molts semàfors, han col·locat zones especials per a motos. Qual els semàfors dels vianants comencen a parpellejar, les motos rugeixen i arrenquen ballant sobre l&#39;asfalt en una dansa frenètica que s&#39;oblida de l&#39;existència de vianants, taxistes o cotxes. És la febre de les dues rodes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFqjFR1ZD55CDoJtJGK3Jd3N1loGpCRDyQggI1SmFBC7GSLNuNEcdNCESP1K29gWwXwfDZrCc4wC7u6CF3lFVXQB9qzm6-Dzk8qDQMj0L7hEzsf580rqkNdePaPTxmZfbI_frGB5Er6oM/s1600/_DSC0267.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497987130359622130&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 247px; cursor: pointer; height: 320px;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFqjFR1ZD55CDoJtJGK3Jd3N1loGpCRDyQggI1SmFBC7GSLNuNEcdNCESP1K29gWwXwfDZrCc4wC7u6CF3lFVXQB9qzm6-Dzk8qDQMj0L7hEzsf580rqkNdePaPTxmZfbI_frGB5Er6oM/s320/_DSC0267.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alguns i algunes preferim la &lt;strong&gt;moto pequeña&lt;/strong&gt; i ràpida, com la Vespa, la Scoopy o la Scarabeo, perquè et donen l&#39;agilitat per a colar-te entre els cotxes, arrencar el primer en els semàfors i passar quan hi ha un lent davant. Això últim produeix un gust comparable a pocs plaers en la vida: arrencar, driblar, sentir l&#39;aire en la cara, deixar enrera a un Mercedeson el conductor parla pel mòbil, o a un taxista que s&#39;atura a recollir a un client, són part dels avantatges d&#39;anar amb moto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Però hi ha alguns que ho gaudeixen d&#39;una forma especial, i aquests són els propietaris d&#39;una &lt;strong&gt;Harley Davidson&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;En la tercera reunió de Harleys a Barcelona, van haver aquelles persones que es van queixar del soroll infernal que produïen deu mil tubs d&#39;escapament rugint alhora, però qui les duien opinen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;It&#39;s the way we live on our own terms.&lt;br /&gt;It shows the world exactly where we stand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUiNb6GqjQAM45vWig2rYXv6FF_b5tz0LrhL8vXWSSpMF6q-Fv4IoEg-ZMOTde6r5vGnM-aPUO321mbmj1pbI8g1Mt8xENQaMYv9YrzMsgV2l54DepS5rlLVA45OAIDjbbolykHHvMVhA/s1600/_DSC0080.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497987630940090114&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 286px; cursor: pointer; height: 320px;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUiNb6GqjQAM45vWig2rYXv6FF_b5tz0LrhL8vXWSSpMF6q-Fv4IoEg-ZMOTde6r5vGnM-aPUO321mbmj1pbI8g1Mt8xENQaMYv9YrzMsgV2l54DepS5rlLVA45OAIDjbbolykHHvMVhA/s320/_DSC0080.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;És una filosofia grupal d&#39;uns 900.000 membres, devots a la ¨Harley style¨ com a forma de vida o d&#39;expressió.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per al &lt;em&gt;Zool¨....Treu el punt &quot;gamberro&quot; que cadascun duu, suposo que per tota la història que hi ha en els riders....no és una forma de vida, és una eina per a viure¨.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per al Larma &lt;em&gt;anar en Harley, és una barreja de satisfacció i orgull.

La banda sonora (Jimmy Hendrix, Steppenwolf, Bob Dylan entre altres) desborda llibertat per totes bandes. Segons diu un blog d&#39;aficionats a Harley. Recentement &lt;em&gt;Cerdos salvajes&lt;/em&gt; amb el John Travolta, es va pretendre reviure aquesta passió per la llibertat.

Allí uno se plantea si es el protagonista de una de esas películas futuristas con coches voladores y robots. Aunque el arquitecto confiesa en alguna entrevista que la torre está colocada de forma que hace de reloj de sol. O sea que supone un cruce de culturas. Igual que Barcelona, que nació como Barcino en la época romana y se ha convertido en una ciudad cosmopolita. La ciudad del arte y el diseño la llaman algunos. Una ciudad liberal dicen otros, o una ciudad que acoge a gays, músicos, emigrantes y socios del club de Polo. Todos juntos pero no revueltos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 153);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Al atardecer, al contemplar el horizonte fue cuando nos fijamos en las tres chimeneas de &lt;i&gt;Fecsa&lt;/i&gt;, que forman ya parte del paisaje urbano al igual que la polución que había ese día. Pero al día siguiente, desde el mismo punto apareció la ciudad balcón, el mar Mediterráneo con destellos de sol &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;que se filtraban por entre las nubes? Es que Barcelona, por encima de todo, es una ciudad Mediterránea llena de sorpresas.

There, one wonders if he is a character in of one of those futuristic films with flying cars and robots. The architect confessed in some interview that the tower is located in such a way as to form a sundial; that it implies a crossing of cultures. Just like Barcelona, which was born as Barcino in the Roman epoch, and has transformed itself into a cosmopolitan city. A city of the arts and of design, some call it. A liberal city say others; a city that welcomes immigrants, gays, musicians and members of the Polo Club. All together, but separate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At sundown, while gazing at the skyline, we stared at the three chimneys of the &lt;i&gt;FECSA&lt;/i&gt; power plant which are as much a part of the urban landscape as the pollution of that day. But the following day, from the same vantage point, appeared the citys balcony; the Mediterranean Sea sparkling in sunlight that filtered through the clouds. For Barcelona is, above all, a Mediterranean city filled with surprises. So we suggest that you look up, careful of the lampposts, in order to understand deeply what a privilege it is to live in &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BAR CEL ONA.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 153);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;--------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note for English speakers who are unfamiliar with the city&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 153);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Spelling the city&#39;s name as BAR CEL ONA arose as a promotional device during the 1992 Olympics and, since then, has become popular with residents as an expression of pride. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Each of the three syllables is a word in the Catalan language.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 153);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&quot;&gt;BAR -&lt;/span&gt; There are many bars in the city.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 153);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&quot;&gt;CEL -&lt;/span&gt; The sky.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;&quot;   lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&quot;&gt;ONA -&lt;/span&gt; A wave, as in the Mediterranean.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 255);&quot;&gt;QUÈ SUCCEEIX QUAN A BARCELONA, MIRES CAP AMUNT? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);&quot; name=&quot;CATALAN&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Català&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fotos i traducció: Cèlia Miralles&lt;br /&gt;Text: Mercedes Salvador&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt; line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot; lang=&quot;CA&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 153);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;A Barcelona si et dediques a mirar cap amunt, et trobes amb altre món molt diferent de la bullícia de les voreres, de les botigues i restaurants, als quals estem acostumats.

de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-STYLE: italic;font-family:arial;&quot; &gt;Sant Jordi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt; en Barcelona. Nuestro día de los enamorados, nuestro San Valentín particular, con señeras, rosas, libros y hasta con amenaza de lluvia incluida.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;El 23 de abril, en Barcelona es obligado salir a la calle. Algunos como Celia salen a vender rosas rojas para una ONG, y con su sonrisa consiguen que les compre todo el que se le pone por delante, ya sean motoristas, mujeres solitarias o trabajadores de la obra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Es que es &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-STYLE: italic;font-family:arial;&quot; &gt;Sant Jordi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;, el patrón de Cataluña, el caballero que salvó a la princesa en la Capadocia o en el Montblanc, o dónde sea. Cada país lo coloca donde le apetece y como murió en el año 303, pues ha dado tiempo a desfigurar un poco los hechos y a transportarlo hacia aquí o más hacia allá, según convenga.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Lo importante es que &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-STYLE: italic;font-family:arial;&quot; &gt;Sant Jordi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt; era un caballero muy valiente que salvó a una princesa de que se la comiera el dragón. Las otras mujeres que se le entregaron al dragón para calmar su hambre no tuvieron tanta suerte, pero eso es otra historia para contar en otro lugar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Algunos dicen que al clavarle la espada en el pecho del dragón nació una rosa. Pero otros aseguran que la tradición viene de que antiguamente las clases aristocráticas, en esos días, celebraban fiestas caballerescas y torneos en el barrio del &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-STYLE: italic&quot;&gt;Born&lt;/span&gt;. A las damas de la alta sociedad se les ofrecía flores y con el tiempo se convirtió en costumbre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Hay otros que nos cuentan la de dragones que hay escondidos por Barcelona y si no basta con observar las fotografías de &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-STYLE: italic&quot;&gt;Josep Martínez&lt;/span&gt;, en su libro &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-STYLE: italic&quot;&gt;Drakcelona&lt;/span&gt;, donde dice que ha encontrado 400 dragones ocultos en cornisas y picaportes o camuflados en lámparas, o en el &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-STYLE: italic&quot;&gt;Parc Güell &lt;/span&gt;o la &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-STYLE: italic&quot;&gt;Casa Batlló&lt;/span&gt;. Es que a &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-STYLE: italic&quot;&gt;Antoni Gaudí&lt;/span&gt; el tema de la mitología y la historia le gustaba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Y por si fuera poco, además, es el día Internacional del Libro, por la conmemoración de la muerte de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-STYLE: italic;font-family:arial;&quot; &gt;Miguel de Cervantes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;. Lo interesante es que su obra más conocida, es una burla a las historias de caballeros, ya que &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-STYLE: italic;font-family:arial;&quot; &gt;Don Quijote&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt; no era exactamente un héroe, sino un antihéroe.&lt;/span&gt; Pero ahí está con Sant Jordi compartiendo día, si se levantaran de su tumba me pregunto si les gustaría.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Pero lo cierto es que las calles se llenan de puestos de venta de libros, escritores firmándolos, lectores haciendo cola para obtener firmas y expanden con ello ilusiones a otros como yo que esperan algún día poder estar allí firmando su propio libro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: rgb(255,102,0)&quot;&gt;English&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;meta content=&quot;text/html; charset=utf-8&quot; equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot;&gt;&lt;meta content=&quot;Word.Document&quot; name=&quot;ProgId&quot;&gt;&lt;meta content=&quot;Microsoft Word 11&quot; name=&quot;Generator&quot;&gt;&lt;meta content=&quot;Microsoft Word 11&quot; name=&quot;Originator&quot;&gt;&lt;link href=&quot;file:///C:%5CUsers%5Cceinsa%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml&quot; rel=&quot;File-List&quot;&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Style Definitions */  p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:&quot;&quot;; 	margin:0cm; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;; 	mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;; 	mso-ansi-language:CA;} @page Section1 	{size:612.0pt 792.0pt; 	margin:70.85pt 3.0cm 70.85pt 3.0cm; 	mso-header-margin:36.0pt; 	mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot;   style=&quot;font-family:&#39;;color:black;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Translation: Ken Green&lt;br /&gt;Pictures: Celia Miralles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Text: Mercedes Salvador&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;In Barcelona, we&#39;ve left behind another year and another diada de Sant Jordi (St. George&#39;s day).

Some, like Celia, go to help sell red roses to benefit an N.G.O. and, with her smile, they manage to sell every one they offer, whether to motorists, single women or construction workers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;It is Sant Jordi, the patron saint of Catalonia, the knight who saved the princess in Cappadocia, or on Mont Blanc, or wherever. Each country places the story as they please and, since he died in 303, well... they&#39;ve had time to rearrange the legends a bit to transpose them here and there for convenience. The important thing is that Sant Jordi was a valiant knight who saved a princess from being eaten by a dragon. The other women who were surrendered to the dragon to ease his hunger were not so lucky, but that&#39;s another story to be told in another place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGEraBWGqntcOpZWevcGuSh7LDF4HUffOibigyQE6guaMqodcsRXim3zEojUmX9iVII8UjpMZgXmK5RETboWn7pBMdRGMLksvn4BGjqM8spyxUeCn46qQwnaCJnnY8Y_3kLw33v_6r8qI/s1600/_DSC0026.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467166453702182994&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 214px&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGEraBWGqntcOpZWevcGuSh7LDF4HUffOibigyQE6guaMqodcsRXim3zEojUmX9iVII8UjpMZgXmK5RETboWn7pBMdRGMLksvn4BGjqM8spyxUeCn46qQwnaCJnnY8Y_3kLw33v_6r8qI/s320/_DSC0026.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Some say that, upon his plunging the sword into the dragon&#39;s breast, a rose came forth. But others assure us that the tradition comes from the ancient festivals and tournaments held for knights by the aristocracy in the Borne district. There, the knights offered roses to the ladies of high society and the custom has survived and changed with the passage of time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;There are others who tell us of dragons hidden throughout Barcelona and, if that&#39;s not enough, see Josep Martínez&#39;s photos in his book Drakcelona, where he claims to have encountered 400 dragons concealed in cornices and door handles, or camouflaged in lamps or in the Park Güell or the Casa Batlló. But it&#39;s only that the architect Antoni Gaudí loved mythological themes and this story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;In addition, this is the International Day of the Book in commemoration of the death of Miguel de Cervantes. How ironic that his best work is a satire on the stories of the knights. Don Quijote wasn&#39;t exactly a hero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;What is certain is that the streets are full of stands to sell books, authors to sign them and readers who line up to get those signatures and to inflate the dreams of others, like me, who hope one day to be there signing books of their own. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: rgb(255,102,0)&quot;&gt;Català&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)&quot;&gt;Fotos i traducció: Cèlia Miralles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Text: Mercedes Salvador&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCHUAeKZSGyQJ9tz3rZ-huaDErzVdxE_d7B_Hx0Eaa-ZSiM7r-2T1lWZN_niZOXAMNtM6KrRWz1-j4uhn69GlnlUFKG-LHl32yOuX-O7Thcsfr6Y9vH6elby_R1Kpa-lL_9uaSXbS6ifw/s1600/_DSC0067.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467168035682184306&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 214px&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCHUAeKZSGyQJ9tz3rZ-huaDErzVdxE_d7B_Hx0Eaa-ZSiM7r-2T1lWZN_niZOXAMNtM6KrRWz1-j4uhn69GlnlUFKG-LHl32yOuX-O7Thcsfr6Y9vH6elby_R1Kpa-lL_9uaSXbS6ifw/s320/_DSC0067.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Un any més ja hem deixat enrere la diada de Sant Jordi a Barcelona.

Alguns com la Cèlia surten a vendre roses vermelles per a una ONG, i amb el seu somriure aconsegueixen que els compri tot el qual se li posa per davant, ja siguin motoristes, dones solitàries o treballadors de l&#39;obra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;És que és Sant Jordi, el patró de Catalunya, el cavaller que va salvar a la princesa en la Capadocia o en el Montblanc, o on sigui. Cada país ho col•loca on li ve de gust i com va morir en l&#39;any 303, doncs ha donat temps a desfigurar un poc els fets, a transportar-lo cap a aquí o més cap a allà, segons convingui.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L&#39;important és que Sant Jordi era un cavaller molt valent que va salvar a una princesa de que se la mengés el drac. Les altres dones que se li van lliurar al drac, per a calmar la seva fam, no van tenir tanta sort, però això és altra història per a contar en un altre lloc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYFiSae02U8t-GhZQwNsikz4Ed8v9OjEYb7OPBh6ZHxuO4IY6x8f8jOhMDHeQqINdXYVpL3TfI3L4USHjYf-kf0bV23kUqJsBJxpqsiTaJT6y6h3Y64gj7uSGYQkwajzzWyiKJpvIIlHc/s1600/_DSC0020.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467168335764569922&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 214px&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYFiSae02U8t-GhZQwNsikz4Ed8v9OjEYb7OPBh6ZHxuO4IY6x8f8jOhMDHeQqINdXYVpL3TfI3L4USHjYf-kf0bV23kUqJsBJxpqsiTaJT6y6h3Y64gj7uSGYQkwajzzWyiKJpvIIlHc/s320/_DSC0020.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Alguns diuen que al clavar-li l&#39;espasa en el pit del drac va néixer una rosa. Però uns altres asseguren que la tradició ve de que antigament les classes aristocràtiques, en aquests dies, celebraven festes cavalleresques i tornejos en el barri del Born. A les dames de l&#39;alta societat se&#39;ls oferia roses i amb el temps es va convertir en un costum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi ha altres que ens expliquen la de dracs que hi ha amagats per Barcelona i si no n&#39;hi ha prou amb observar les fotografies de Josep Martínez, en el seu llibre Drakcelona, on diu que ha trobat 400 dracs ocults en cornises i picaports o camuflats en llums, o en el Parc Güell o la Casa Batlló. És que a Antoni Gaudí el tema de la mitologia i la història li agradava.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I per si no fos poc, a més, és el dia Internacional del Llibre, per la commemoració de la mort de Miguel de Cervantes. L&#39;interessant és que la seva obra més coneguda, és una burla a les històries de cavallers, ja que Don Quijote no era exactament un heroi, sinó un antiheroi. Però ahí està amb Sant Jordi, compartint el dia, si s’aixequés de la seva tomba, em pregunto si els agradaria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Però la veritat és que els carrers s&#39;omplen de llocs de venda de llibres, escriptors signant-los, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;lectors fent cua per a obtenir signatures i, expandeixen amb això, il·lusions a uns altres com jo que esperen algun dia poder estar allí signant el seu propi llibre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;

&gt;Texto: Mercedes Salvador&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cualquiera que le digas que eres de Barcelona, lo primero que te nombra es &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt; (&quot;Las Ramblas&quot; para los turistas).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una avenida ancha trazada con tiralíneas, con árboles y rieras de gente que caminan arriba y abajo sin ningún propósito en concreto. Va desde la &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Plaça Catalunya&lt;/span&gt; hasta el &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Passeig de Colom&lt;/span&gt;, para desembocar en el mar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una arteria humana por donde dan ganas de perderse y de descubrir rincones que escapan a los ojos de los demás.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A veces, vale la pena camuflarse, por entre la multitud, para observar, a un grupo de marinos que han bajado de un barco desde algún país remoto, piropeando a la hija de una mujer con un delantal manchado. Te puedes sentar en una silla y ver a un ejecutivo de americana y corbata que corre al trabajo al lado de un travestido mulato que contornea sus caderas a ritmo de samba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entre gente, bullicio, quioscos, fuentes, farolas, iglesias, músicos, bocinazos, callejuelas que llevan a Plazas y edificios negruzcos de polución uno no deja de preguntarse:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Qué tiene nuestra Rambla que la hace tan diferente de todas las demás calles, como si respirara con voluntad propia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si caminas por la acera lateral puedes probarte una camiseta del &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Barça&lt;/span&gt; y hasta un sombrero mejicano, como si todos los países de habla hispana fuéramos una sola cosa y no hubiera un Océano de por medio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luego puedes pararte en cada estatua viviente y darle unas monedas hasta quedarte sin blanca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bajando por la acera de la derecha, te encuentras con el mercado de &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Boqueria&lt;/span&gt;, con paradas llenas de bandejas multicolores y variedad de frutas tropicales, exóticas y otros manjares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero uno de mis lugares preferidos, es la &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Pastisseria Escribá (Antigua Casa Figueras)&lt;/span&gt;. En cuanto se ven los decorados modernistas, los mosaicos y los vidrios emplomados con figuras femeninas, uno adivina que ha llegado al lugar adecuado. Me paso un rato mirando el relieve de piedra de la cosechadora de trigo que parece estar orgullosa de sí misma. Hace cara de haber vivido una buena vida. Pero el aroma de pastas al horno me recuerda que allí es dónde &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Antoni Escribà&lt;/span&gt; “el mago del chocolate” ha dejado como legado, además del premio al “Mejor Pastelero de Europa”, las famosas &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;monas de Pascua&lt;/span&gt; (tradición catalana en la que el padrino regala a su ahijado/a, en el día de Pascua, un pastel con objetos y/o personajes totalmente hechos de chocolate, …). No hace falta tener un ahijado para comérselo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y cuando sales de allí con la camiseta del &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Barça&lt;/span&gt; puesta, la mona en una mano y el sombrero mejicano en la otra puedes entrar en &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;El Liceo&lt;/span&gt;, y a lo mejor, escuchar a &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Montserrat Caballé&lt;/span&gt; y a &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Josep Carreras&lt;/span&gt; cantando &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Bohème&lt;/span&gt;, mientras los pobres turistas comen paellas a precios exorbitantes, en los restaurantes del centro de &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De la acera de la izquierda llega el olor a cafeterías antiguas, como el &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Café de la Opera&lt;/span&gt; y uno puede sentarse a descansar un poco mientras se pregunta si la fachada premodernista de &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;la Casa dels Paraigües&lt;/span&gt;, con la figura de un dragón, el paraguas chino y el farol, era de &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt; o del viaje que hiciste a China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al fondo se divisa la estatua de &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Cristóbal Colón&lt;/span&gt; elevada a 60 metros de altura, desde donde observa tenderetes de artesanos y pintores. Señala con el dedo, por encima de todas las cabezas, hacia el mar. Pero cuando uno trata de pensar si el Mediterráneo y América están en el mismo lado, la conclusión es que no, más bien están en sentido opuesto: podríamos decir que señala en sentido metafórico hacia América o hacia Huelva, desde donde zarparon &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Pinta&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Niña&lt;/span&gt; y la nao &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Santamaría&lt;/span&gt; por primera vez, en busca de la India y se encontraron con América.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y entonces es cuando uno se da cuenta de que en &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt; caben todo tipo de sueños y cualquier cosa es posible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;English&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:78%;&quot; &gt;Translation: Ken Green&lt;br /&gt;Pictures: Celia Miralles &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:78%;&quot; &gt;Text: Mercedes Salvador&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon telling anyone who has visited Barcelona that you are a native of that city, the first thing he will mention is &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt;. The wide avenue seems to have been traced by drafting pen from the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Plaça Catalunya&lt;/span&gt; to the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Passeig de Colom&lt;/span&gt; where it flows into the sea beyond. It is filled with trees and streams of people who walk up and down with no particular destination. An artery of humanity where they go to lose themselves and discover corners that escape the eyes of everyone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes it&#39;s worthwhile to camouflage yourself within the multitude in order to observe a group of sailors who have come off a ship from some remote country to flirt with the daughter of a woman wearing a stained apron. Or, you can sit in a chair and watch an executive in jacket and tie as he rushes to work past a dark-skinned transvestite swinging her hips to the rhythm of a samba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the people, kiosks, fountains, lampposts, churches, musicians, honking horns, narrow lanes and uproar, one must ask himself; What is it that &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt; has that makes it so different from all the other streets, as if it breathes with a will of its own? Along the sidewalk, you can try a &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Barça&lt;/span&gt; (fútbol club) t-shirt and a Mexican sombrero, as if all Spanish-speaking countries were one thing with no ocean between them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later, you can stop at each of the &quot;living statues&quot; and leave a few coins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Down the sidewalk to the right you will find &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Boqueria&lt;/span&gt;; the open market whose stalls are filled with an array of multi-colored trays of tropical fruits and other treats. But one of my favorite places is the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Pastissería Escribá&lt;/span&gt; in the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Antigua Casa Figueras&lt;/span&gt;. As soon as one sees the modernista setting, with its mosaics and windowpanes depicting female figures in stained-glass , one may assume she has arrived at a worthwhile destination. I pass some time looking at the stone relief of a woman who seems so proud as she carries her sheaf of wheat. She has the face of someone who has lived a good life. But the aroma of pastry in the oven reminds me that this is where &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Antoni Escribá&lt;/span&gt;, The Magician of Chocolate, has left as his legacy (in addition to the prize for the &quot;Best Pastry Chef of Europe&quot;); the famous &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;monas de Pascua&lt;/span&gt;. These are a part of the Catalan tradition in which, on Easter day, a godparent gives each of his godchildren a cake with an object or character made completely of chocolate. But you needn&#39;t have a godchild to eat one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when you leave the Pastissería wearing your &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Barça&lt;/span&gt; t-shirt, a mona in one hand and a Mexican sombrero in the other, you may enter &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;El Liceo&lt;/span&gt; and, perhaps, hear &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Montserrat Caballé&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Josep Carreras&lt;/span&gt; singing &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Bohème&lt;/span&gt; while the poor turistas eat turista-priced paellas in the restaurants at the center of &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the sidewalk to the left comes the scent of ancient coffee houses, like the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Café de la Opera&lt;/span&gt;, where you may sit and rest a bit while asking yourself if the premodernista facade of &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;the Casa dels Paraigües&lt;/span&gt;, with its figure of a Chinese dragon holding a streetlamp above an umbrella, was really on &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt; or a memory from your trip to China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the foot of &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt; you can make out the statue of &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Cristóbal Colón&lt;/span&gt;, elevated on a column to a height of 200 feet, from where he observes the stalls of artesans and painters. From far above their heads, he points his finger to the sea. But when you consider whether the Mediterranean and America lie in the same direction, the conclusion is that no, they are opposite. We could say that he points in a metaphoric sense toward America or toward Huelva, where the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Niña&lt;/span&gt;, the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Pinta&lt;/span&gt; and the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Santamaría&lt;/span&gt; set sail for the first time in search of India, only to find America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that&#39;s when you realize that, on &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt;, there is room for every sort of dream and everything is possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;Català&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:78%;&quot; &gt;Fotos i traducció: Cèlia Miralles &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:78%;&quot; &gt;Text: Mercedes Salvador&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A qualsevol que li diguis que ets de Barcelona, el primer que et nombre és &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt; (&quot;Les Rambles&quot; per als turistes).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una avinguda ampla traçada amb tiralínies, amb arbres i rieres de gent que caminen amunt i avall sense cap propòsit en concret. Va des de la &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Plaça Catalunya&lt;/span&gt; fins al &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Passeig de Colom&lt;/span&gt;, per a desembocar en el mar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una artèria humana per on donen ganes de perdre&#39;s i de descobrir racons que escapen als ulls dels altres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De vegades, mereix la pena camuflar-se entre la multitud, per a observar a un grup de marins que han baixat d&#39;un vaixell des d&#39;algun país remot, piropejant a la filla d&#39;una dona amb un davantal tacat. Et pots asseure en una cadira i veure a un executiu d&#39;americana i corbata que corre al treball al costat d&#39;un transvestit mulat que contorneja els seus malucs al ritme de la samba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entre la gent, la bullícia, els quioscs, les fonts, els fanals, les esglésies, els músics, els clàxons, els carrerons, que duen a Places i edificis negres per la pol•lució un no deixa de preguntar-se:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Què té la nostra Rambla que la fa tan diferent de la resta dels carrers, com si respirés amb voluntat pròpia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si camines per la vorera lateral pots provar-te una samarreta del &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Barça&lt;/span&gt; i fins i tot un barret mexicà, com si tots els països de parla hispana fóssim una sola cosa i no hagués un Oceà pel mig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Després, pots parar-te en cada estàtua vivent i donar-li unes monedes fins a quedar-te sense sense cap ni una.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baixant per la vorera de la dreta, et trobes amb el mercat de &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Boqueria&lt;/span&gt;, amb parades plenes de safates multicolors i varietat de fruites tropicals, exòtiques i altres suculents productes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Però un dels meus llocs preferits, està baixant per la vorera de la dreta, és la &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Pastisseria Escribà&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;la Antigua Casa Figueras&lt;/span&gt;). Quan es veuen els decorats modernistes, els mosaics i els vidres emplomats amb figures femenines, un endevina que ha arribat al lloc adequat. Em passo una estona mirant el relleu de pedra de la recol·lectora de blat que sembla estar orgullosa de si mateixa. Fa cara d&#39;haver viscut una bona vida. Però l&#39;aroma de pastes al forn em recorda que allà és on &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Antoni Escribà&lt;/span&gt; “el mag de la xocolata” ha deixat com llegat, a més del premi al “Millor Pastisser d&#39;Europa”, les famoses &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;mones de Pasqua&lt;/span&gt; (tradició catalana en la qual el padrí regala al seu fillol o fillola, el dia de Pasqua, un pastís amb objectes i/o personatges totalment fets de xocolata, …). No cal tenir un fillol per a menjar-se&#39;l.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I quan surts d&#39;allà amb la samarreta del &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Barça&lt;/span&gt; posada, la mona en una mà i el barret mexicà en l&#39;altra pots entrar en &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;El Liceu&lt;/span&gt; i, potser, escoltar a na &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Montserrat Caballé&lt;/span&gt; i en &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Josep Carreres &lt;/span&gt;cantant &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Bohème&lt;/span&gt;, mentre els pobres turistes mengen paelles a preus exorbitants, en els restaurants del centre de &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De la vorera de l&#39;esquerra arriba l&#39;olor a cafeteries antigues, com el &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Cafè de l&#39;Opera&lt;/span&gt; i un pot asseure&#39;s a descansar una estona mentre es pregunta si la façana premodernista de &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;la Casa dels Paraigües&lt;/span&gt;, amb la figura d&#39;un drac, el paraigua xinès i el fanal, era de &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt; o del viatge que va fer a la Xina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al fons es pot veure l&#39;estàtua de &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Cristóbal Colón&lt;/span&gt; elevada a 60 metres d&#39;alçada, des d&#39;on observa paradetes d&#39;artesans i pintors. Assenyala amb el dit, per sobre de tots els caps, cap al mar. Però quan un tracta de pensar si el Mediterrani i Amèrica estan en el mateix costat, la conclusió és que no, més aviat estan en sentit oposat: podríem dir que assenyala en sentit metafòric cap a Amèrica o cap a Huelva, des d&#39;on van salpar &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Pinta&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Niña&lt;/span&gt; i la nao &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Santamaría&lt;/span&gt; per primera vegada, a la recerca de la Índia i es van trobar amb Amèrica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I llavors és quan un s’adona que en &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;La Rambla&lt;/span&gt; caben tot tipus de somnis i qualsevol cosa és possible.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://barcelonaysushistorias.blogspot.com/feeds/8593105370219956954/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://barcelonaysushistorias.blogspot.com/2010/04/la-rambla-cualquiera-que-le-digas-que.html#comment-form' title='9 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5723770287306071161/posts/default/8593105370219956954'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5723770287306071161/posts/default/8593105370219956954'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barcelonaysushistorias.blogspot.com/2010/04/la-rambla-cualquiera-que-le-digas-que.html' title='Castellano - English - Català  La Rambla'/><author><name>Life - Celia Miralles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10265021508343887086</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='25' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO3HDobIpdPtbpWwHKLxYVmjRDwe52EndiZ6DHwq7xvS47_T-P-B4Z6Pbbe2ahUAxFXgJLL4W-j972En2ZE9cGvcVoBHHxxOJElT5rzSc-4b5y-moepshJUP5VIKWiqhs/s220/_DSC01277+-+copia.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_q8F_EgPUrDU8yCCd7LO6hDWJqLhdgRcv9B2sTXjUk76vU9JDj2mQQ0MuhiB9_7g5ZRfwJYtWo7LY4s-80TUpKgPWf2khVl7LpD8LKYljZcCmkUBjLAoKKQli9XYMqQDU9ErWvXVDtuM/s72-c/_DSC0059.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723770287306071161.post-661747069129041552</id><published>2010-03-29T18:33:00.026-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-30T14:43:18.567-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="El Zurich marzo 2010 (I)"/><title type='text'>Castellano - English - Català</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmoohQ46cOl8ZvbXN7C-Z2EXSQnc_RPkNh4MV4ImS9nXgKBNNhE0ICrP30KHFf_Cu_WVSH_g2IBmKgfVEFs_6qkVkcEdX099mM5chthxcQXu-QrGgUg_huPlpsmfHtESyOMih3fHLXtI8/s1600/3zurich.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 290px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmoohQ46cOl8ZvbXN7C-Z2EXSQnc_RPkNh4MV4ImS9nXgKBNNhE0ICrP30KHFf_Cu_WVSH_g2IBmKgfVEFs_6qkVkcEdX099mM5chthxcQXu-QrGgUg_huPlpsmfHtESyOMih3fHLXtI8/s320/3zurich.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460493915565478930&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:130%;&quot;  &gt;El Zurich – Punto de encuentro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;&quot; align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);&quot;&gt;Castellano&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fotos: Celia Miralles&lt;br /&gt;Texto: Mercedes Salvador&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;&quot; &gt;El Zurich, situado desde el año 1920 entre Pelai y Plaça Catalunya y frente a la Rambla.

Por eso, quizás, están siempre llenas de gente. Unos se sientan a esperar con un cigarrillo entre los dedos y un café. Otros, como un grupo de extranjeros del norte de Europa (hablando una lengua llena de jotas) se saludan con golpes en la espalda. Un hombre con barba blanca lee el País y un chico solitario habla por el móvil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;&quot; &gt;Cuando lo renovaron en 1998 algunos pensaron que había perdido el sabor, pero al Zurich no le importó porque sabía que seguiría siendo el Punto de encuentro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;&quot; &gt;Una pareja de emigrantes latinoamericanos esperan su oportunidad.

It throws quick glances at all that pass by, and at times winks at the ones who don´t seem well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;It is the nerve center of Barcelona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;In its tables and chairs one can feel the beat of Barcelona&#39;s heart. That’s why it&#39;s always full of people. Some sit and wait with cigarettes between their fingers, and coffee. Others like a group of foreigners from ­Northern Europe (speaking a hard edged language) greet each other with slaps on the back. A man with white beard reads el País and a solitary boy talks on his cell phone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;When the Zurich was renovated in 1998, some thought it had lost its flavor, but the Zurich didn&#39;t care, because it knew that it would continue being The Meeting Place.&lt;br /&gt;A couple of Latin-American emigrants await their opportunity. They came from a little town, after a friend told them that, in Barcelona, they could make money. Seated, they wait for their moment to arrive but, with the economic crisis, it seems to move a little farther away each day. Many others are simply entertained by watching the people who pass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;The water of the Plaça Catalunya&#39;s fountain freshens the air.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;A clown juggling three balls makes the shape of waterfall. Everyone smiles when one of the balls falls on his foot and he pretends terrible injury. Everyone except a girl with glasses, a long skirt and curly hair who looks at her watch again and again. Perhaps her boyfriend has left her and she is fed up that the same thing always happens. Or perhaps she is late for a meeting. But she stands up and leaves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;On the sidewalk opposite the Zurich they come, and go with steps that are rapid, serene, nervous, dancing. But they never stop passing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;There are so many stories that the Zurich could tell!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;But it doesn&#39;t want those who approach its doors, to stop trusting it with their secrets. And when it can&#39;t hear them, it leaves the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;mirror&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; to reflect the stories that have already been absorbed by the walls.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:&#39;;font-size:10;&quot;  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); line-height: normal;&quot; align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 255);&quot;&gt;El Zurich – Punt de trobada&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;font-size:78%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);&quot;&gt;Català&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;font-size:78%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Fotos i traducció: Cèlia Miralles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Text: Mercedes Salvador&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:78%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;&quot; &gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot;&gt;El Zurich, situat des de l’any  1920 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;CA&quot;&gt;entre Pelai i la Plaça Catalunya i enfront  de la Rambla.

Per això, potser, estan sempre plenes de gent. Uns s&#39;asseuen a  esperar amb un cigarret entre els dits, prenent un cafè . Uns altres,  com un grup d&#39;estrangers del nord d&#39;Europa (parlant una llengua plena de  jotes) se saluden amb cops en l&#39;esquena. Un home amb barba blanca  llegeix “El País” i un noi solitari parla pel mòbil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;  style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); line-height: normal; text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;Quan el van renovar  en 1998 alguns van pensar que havia perdut el sabor, però al Zurich no  li va importar perquè sabia que continuaria sent el Punt de trobada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div  style=&quot;text-align: justify;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;&quot;  lang=&quot;CA&quot;&gt;Una  parella d&#39;emigrants llatinoamericans esperen la seva oportunitat. Van  venir des del seu poble, quan un amic els va explicar que a Barcelona  podien fer diners. Esperen asseguts que els arribi aquest moment, que  amb la crisi sembla, que s&#39;allunya cada dia una mica més.

Gairebé tots somriuen quan se li cau  una i fa veure que li ha destrossat el peu, excepte una noia amb  ulleres, faldilla llarga i cabell arrissat que es mira el rellotge una  vegada i una altra. Potser el seu nuvi l&#39;ha deixat plantada i està farta  que sempre passi el mateix. Potser arribi tard a una cita.
