THE UNUSUAL BARCELONA

A number of specialised shops, hundreds of quirky bars, exclusive associations and surprising personalities are hidden in Barcelona. For those who want to enjoy the city full-on, these peoples and places are a must. Writer and journalist Francesc Miralles got on his bike and cycled around Barcelona in search for an atypical Barcelona. The result is a book of 73 extraordinary places all over the Catalan capital, which you won’t find in other guidebooks. Miralles’s graphic descriptions of the quirky places and people he has found and interviewed, are written with a touch of humour and accompanied by photographs, taken with the author’s old Russian camera. Francesc Miralles has entered some of the most popular and clandestine places the city has to offer and revealed another hidden face.
