CATALAN CULTURE

BEYOND THE STUNNING ARCHITECTURE OF ANTONI GAUDÍ, THERE’S MUCH MORE TO BARCELONA. GABRIELE SCHIAVON AND GERARD SANMARTÍ, CO-FOUNDERS OF BARCELONA-BASED STUDIO LAGRANJA DESIGN (WHICH DESIGNED THE CATALANSTYLE INTERIORS OF PIM PAM BY FOC AND FOC SENTOSA IN SINGAPORE), SELECT THEIR FAVOURITE VENUES IN THE CITY

TEATRE GREC

“We like this amphitheatre that’s situated at the base of the Montjuïc Mountain—whether there’s a show happening or when it’s empty. It’s such a mysterious and charming place that’s surrounded by nature.”

BODEGA 1900

“This restaurant is one of the latest gastronomic experiments by Ferran Adrià (the former head chef of elbulli) and his team. It’s a small, vintage-style venue that reinterprets classic tapas dishes.”

CCCB

“The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona is a great example of the city’s highly participatory culture. Its programme deals with cultural activities ranging from literature, visual arts to music and design.”

PALAU DE LA MÚSICA

“This music auditorium, which epitomises peak Catalan modernism, is a breathtaking work by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner.”
