Salvador Dalí, the pioneer of Surrealism one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, was born in Figueres on 11th May 1904. Throughout his life, and despite having a career that took him all over the world - including Paris and America - he always returned to the Costa Brava.

It was in Cadaqués in 1929 that Dalí met Elena Ivanovna Diakonova, a Russian emigrant who was married at the time to a colleague from the Surrealist group. Dalí and 'Gala', as her called here, fell in love and she became his muse, model and later, wife. Dalí and Gala soon brought their first property in the area, an old fisherman's hut surrounded by pines and olive trees just up the coast in the bay of Port Lligat.

Barcelona is world famous for its architecture but not only thanks to Gaudi. In the 1990s, the architecture of Barcelona changed a lot to welcome people from all over the world. One of the main reasons that can explain this phenomenon is the preparation and the organization of the Olympic Games in 1992. At the time, the successors of Gaudi (who did not really know about skateboarding) designed many  buildings, public parks and places which are actually very good for riding due to the nature of the materials used. For instance, there are many benches, curbs and ledges made of marble which will make you enjoy skateboarding in BCN.

It leaves the bus stop of Paral-lel (in front of el Molino) and drives down the streets of Paseo de Gracia where you can see (through the windows and sitting on a seat) and admire buildings such as la “Pedrera” or la Casa Batlló for instance.

In Barcelona we have the luck to enjoy the sun almost every day. When it is hot, people usually go swimming to Barceloneta or the Sitges beach. Nevertheless, when these beaches are overcrowded it is not the best place to go. If you want to relax, the staff of Barcelona4Seasons advises you to have a go at the thermal baths of Aire de Barcelona.

Although there is an ice-cube bath which is called “Frigidarium” you do not need to be cold to enjoy the heat of the “Hammam”. You do not have to be frozen either to have a swim in the “Caldarium” which is the hottest bath (40ºc).

Everybody has already helped a blind man to cross the road. Usually and in most cases, the blind man is the one who need our help but what happen when we are at an unknown place where there is not light? We are lost whereas there is not a single difference for the blind man. In this case who has a disability?

You see, there are a lot of situations in which the roles are reversed. In the dark, without our eyes, without our sight, the blind have the skill to be able to help us and this is the concept of “Dans le Noir”, a restaurant located in the Borne where you can eat good food in a dark room with no light at all and where the waiters are blind.
