Metropolitan Culture Corner: Rafael Laprea & Alex Garrido
This month on the Metropolitan Culture Corner, we go behind the scenes with Alex Garrido and Rafael Laprea, partners in the boutique sparkling wine producers Mevalonics by Garrido Essences: Melavonics creates artisanal wine experiences, offering an original concept that captures the aromas of nature in the form of natural essences called terpenes, combining them with grapes from old Spanish vineyards in the tradition of the Garrido family.
Last month, we went behind the scenes with Eduardo Benatar Sánchez. The musician and local business owner has lived in Barcelona for more than two decades. He is a founding member of the Latin-Grammy-nominated rock band Luz Verde as well as glam punk trio Side Chick, as well as co-owner of vintage cocktail bar Foxy in the neighborhood of El Raval, and the eccentric, fun, 80s-themed Polaroid Bar in el Gótico.
