Lost In Barcelona cuts through the postcard version of the city — past Gaudí and the crowded Ramblas — to map a Barcelona shaped by surrealist nightlife, graffiti outlaws, secret speakeasies, and a food and drink scene that has produced some of the world's most acclaimed culinary figures.
About This Book
This is Barcelona as the locals know it: a city of skateboarding culture, underground bars, and wildly theatrical interior design — including bathrooms so architecturally surreal that one doubles as a late-night disco. Built around long-form interviews with a Sommelier of the Year, the city's leading street art curator, and a chef ranked among the most acclaimed of all time, the guide traces a cultural history that runs from the glamorous 1960s rebels of the Gauche Divine to the indie fashion entrepreneurs and nightclub founders who reshaped contemporary Barcelona. Essential reading for design-literate travellers who want substance over surface.
