Dogs of Barcelona

Barcelona is a city that loves dogs. Go out on the streets at any time and in any weather, and you're bound to see at least one dog (plus owner) stretching their legs. Here's just a small number of the many four-legged friends that live here—if you have a doggy pal you'd like to be included here, send us a photo plus your pet's name and breed (if known) to info@barcelona-metropolitan.com

Speaking up—What's your favourite book

Sant Jordi, the day that Catalunya celebrates romance with an exchange of books and roses between lovers, is upon us this month. To get you in the mood for browsing the bookstalls that will be set up around Barcelona on April 23rd, we asked nine residents what their 'llibre de capçalera' is: literally this means ‘headboard book’, and is the book you keep by the bed because it’s a great favourite.
