I think tone night the music opens at 11pm but the other nights They music didn't start till 12pm. The one night the music started at 12pm and we got there at 1130 and really like only 3 people were there by 1210am the place was packed! Great live Spanish guitar music! There aren't many chairs as it really is all about have space to dance. Great live music. Great space, filled with mostly young business professionals (on weeknights at least) and great drinks! I had the most amazing strawberry mojito !

They have a remarkable collection, well balanced with a rather unbelievable selection of the most famous Dutch Masters and French Impressionists but also abstract, ancient, medieval and Catholic (okay that part isn't as surprising) paintings, sculpture, and sketches. Also, a very good presentation of the history of Montserrat using the very latest in multimedia AV technology. I've been to art museums around the world, all the great ones are in major cities. I've never been to such a wonderful art collection hidden away in a mountain before. Save some time (a couple of hours at least) and energy for this museum.

People from around the…read moreworld come just to see the Black Madonna, and while that alone is incredible, it's the breathtaking views and hundreds of priceless artworks that make this a must-do day trip for me. Whether you're religious or not, the landscape alone will move you. Plus, the museum houses masterpieces from Dalí and Picasso that elevate the experience even further. Words and pictures can't capture the essence of this place--trust me, just book your visit.

The Masía Freixa is one of Terrassa's - and indeed Catalonia's - most impressive Modernist…read morebuildings. Built originally in 1896 as a small factory, it was transformed by the architect Lluís Muncunill in 1907-1910 into a bourgeois residence for the Catalan industrialist Josep Freixa i Artemi. Muncunill was a leading light in Catalan Modernism, which developed the Art Nouveau into the distinctive regional style, of which Gaudi is its most famous exponent. The result is an astonishingly original and beautiful building, all the more impressive for having very restrained detailing (which is where Muncunill differs from Gaudi). The Masia Freixa is essentially an elongated house, with verandas consisting of impressive, naturalistic arcades of parabolic arches. The other main features are its tower, rather resembling a minaret, and the undulating grey roof, broken by a cupola-like second storey. The doors and windows are shuttered and reflect the parabolic shape of the arcade. The lower part of the outside walls are decorated in pale grey tiles with a geometric pattern. When built, the Masía Freixa was on the edge of the town, (Masía normally refers to a landowner's residence or a well-to-do farmhouse) but is now in a small park in the western suburbs of Terrassa. It is most easily reached by taking the FGC train from Barcelona (Plaça de Catalunya) half an hour north to Terrassa Rambla station on line S1, from where it is an easy 5-10 minute walk. The building currently houses the local Music Society, and can be visited on organised walking tours of Modernista architecture - see above for details. That said, it's the exterior which really grabs the attention, and what is worth coming to see.

Every year, when i come to visit family in my hometown i get new culinary surprises. One of them is…read moreGenial, a very modern concept for Sabadell town, mixing the menu of the day so classic in the Spanish cuisine with art gallery. The restaurant has a terrace outside but it is much more comfortable to sit inside and enjoy the design of this stylish restaurant. Black and orange are the halloweenesque tonalities in here, and the narrow corridor opens up to the spacious and bright kind of hidden gallery. Menu was around 12 euros and i choose a cold vegan soup as 1st dish, which was excellent, calamari rice as 2nd (barely saw 2 little calamari pieces but the flavor was very good) and dessert was plumcake. My friend Imma, a local like me but expat post doc in Arizona, choose pasta and lemon sorbet. I tried both and were really good. All with wine bread nicely presented, mineral water and wine. My only complain is that the server did not change the cuttlery from the first dish to the second and that would have been a nice touch.

They are accommodating with allergies and they want to verify rather than preach, a quality I value. Not the cheapest daily menu in the vicinity but they offer more choice overall, and good value for money. Previous reviewer mentioned no change of cutlery between courses, I feel compelled to agree. Not a complaint but it's a very small touch that adds to the experience. Will happily try again!

AWE. Shock. Chills. Amazement. Tears. Inspiration. Joy…read more All the things I felt while getting to see the life work of the person that has impacted my life in so many ways. Built in his hometown and on the ruins of an old municipal theatre, where his first public exhibition took place as a child. It's now the world's largest collection of his work with over 1500 pieces. Salvador Dalí is a workforce. His brain was magic and I'm so happy he took us to his incredible world of fantasies and surrealism. Getting to see his greatest and last work of all time and being able to sit right on the place where his body rests as you admire the room, ceilings, walls, sounds and work of the greatest surrealist of all time, is something I will never forget. An absolute experience of a lifetime. Heart thumps, goosebumps, knees weak arms are heavy, mom's spaghetti type of experience. He created the world's largest surrealist object and got buried right in the glass dome he designed as his "final surrealistic act". He literally became a part of his greatest work of art. It's an honor to know his work and to be able to get to visit a place like this is a huge privilege I will never forget. It's not just a gallery but a surreal playground.

We stumbled upon this museum after arriving to Figueres for a day trip with the intention of visiting the Dalí museum. Had a couple extra hours before our timed ticket to the Dalí Museum so wandered around town. As we walked past the entrance to this museum, the toys intrigued us so we decided to check it out. It's a simple two story building with rooms laid out by historical period and subdivided into display sections by category of toy. You start from the top and wind your way down back towards the entryway. There must be tens of thousands of different toys, so intricate and detailed. Everything from playing cards, dolls, house-keeping sets, magic, animation, robots, stuffed animals, action figures... It's a joy to take it all in, though I must say probably more enjoyable for adults since there's not many interactive displays considering the aim seems to be mostly preservation and education. Also more enjoyable if you like admiring the details. I cut half a star aren't many display signs in English or other languages, but my friends and I really liked taking our time and simply appreciating the variety and walking down memory lane as these toys stoked our inner-5-year-old's imagination.

He had to get written approval from her to visit. The home was unique and very Dali but the gardens were my favorite part. Little surprises hidden among the trees and birds! You cannot take photos inside the home but are allowed to photograph the garden. This is chronologically the third stop you should take on the Dali triangle tour but I found time wise that it was best to start here in Pubol, travel to Port Lligat for Dali's home, and finish with the museum in Figueres. All three can be done in one day with careful planning.
