A Winter’s Weekend in Barcelona

December 21, 2017 by Editor 11 Comments

A Winter’s Weekend in Barcelona

Short Break in Barcelona: Barcelona is a ‘must visit’ destination so the opportunity to experience a weekend winter’s getaway combined with an invitation to stay at the glamorous Cotton House Hotel was too good to turn down. It’s a city you would need to spend a few weeks in to really get underneath its skin but […]

Colonia Guell, a Gaudi UNESCO town in Catalonia

Colonia Guell, a Gaudi UNESCO town in Catalonia

Colonia Guell – Catalonia: Just 25 kilometres inland from Barcelona, Colonia Guell is a UNESCO heritage colony town and is a working example of Antoni Gaudi’s architecture and Catalan Modernism design. Colony towns were modelled on the British industrial towns model, as the Industrial Revolution swept all across Europe. Eusebio Guell moved his textile factory to […]

Jet Set Sail – Inaugural Trip

Starting in Style with Jet Set Sail from Celebrity Cruises: Everyone I know looks forward to their holidays.  And, everyone I know dreads actually getting there.  Even if you are travelling business class or first class, you still have to get to the airport, fight your way through the crowds to check-in and then go […]

Calçotades and Cava – a day trip to the Penedès

Calçotades and Cava – a day trip to the Penedès

Calçotada – Catalan tradition in the Penedès with Vilarnau: It is that time of year when I ache for a little sunshine.  Accepting an invitation to a calçotada at the Vilarnau winery in search of Spanish sunshine turned out to be overly optimistic. The temperature, even up on the hills of the Penedès region, was […]

Cavalicious Tastings – #barcelonaesmoltmes

Cavalicious Tastings – #barcelonaesmoltmes

The Cava Connection – Barcelona Es Molt Mes: I ­­­­have a particular love of sparkling wines.  And, while champagne will probably always be top of my wish-list, I’m really partial to a chilled glass of Cava – Spain’s own method champagnoise wine. About 95% of all cava is produced in Penedès area of Catalonia to the […]

Costa Barcelona – Food, Nature and Activities by the Sea

Costa Barcelona – Food, Nature and Activities by the Sea

Barcelona – There’s Much More: What springs to mind for you when someone mentions Barcelona? Food from the Boqueria, the wonderful Gaudi architecture that is everywhere in the city, the beach, the galleries and museums, the tapas bars… Or donkey riding? Sometimes I DO think I’m turning into Bridget Jones. First a boot camp in […]

A Hidden Gem in Barcelona – The Museum of Contemporary Art

A Hidden Gem in Barcelona – The Museum of Contemporary Art

Travels with my God-Daughter – The Museum of Contemporary Art – Barcelona: Although I’ve used the term before, along with ‘cobbled streets’ and ‘azure skies’, ‘hidden gem’ sits in my writer’s dictionary as a turn of phrase to use with the utmost caution.  I’ve checked back over articles on here and elsewhere and discovered I […]

Barcelona – a City Break

June 10, 2012 by Fiona Maclean 7 Comments

Barcelona – a City Break

Barcelona or Bust: One of the advantages of being London based is that it’s very easy to travel to mainland Europe.  I spent several years taking the earliest flight or train out of London to Europe to be in Paris, Amsterdam or Brussels for business meetings at 11am on a Monday morning, and at that […]

Codorniu and Culture

Codorniu and Culture

Dali and Codorniu Tasting What could be better than a bit of culture and some Cava?  I was invited to attend the recent Art and Wine meet-up sponsored by Codorniu, the leading Spanish Cava producer.  Held at Thai Silk, right by Southwark station I thought it sounded like an interesting evening and was really pleased […]

  • April 12th  - National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day

    The USA celebrates National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day on April 12th.   Well, why not?   Regarded as one of the top comfort foods in America, the version we eat today originated in the 1920s when sliced bread and American cheese became easily available.  

    image

    Of course, those of you from the USA and those of you wishing to join the celebrations can do so in London!  Head for the glamorous art-deco inspired Colony Grill at the Beaumont Hotel and you’ll find the menu offers a Grilled Cheese sandwich with Dill Pickle, perfect for National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day.  While you are there, enjoy a cocktail or three - and perhaps a couple of other American classics - we love the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and perhaps Bananas Foster flambeed in dark rum for dessert. 

    Enjoy!
