For quite a while now, I have been a great lover of graffiti. Having said that, I’m not very fond of tags (unless they are works of art) and neither do I agree with vandalising buildings or urban structures randomly. But a good piece of graffiti, decal, sticker or stencil, applied in the right setting can certainly stop me in my tracks and force me to admire the ingenuity, artistry, colour, style, etc. that the artist has used. Layers of graffiti (as above) can be very interesting too as they give a semblance of depth and (in this case) contrast different styles.

Courtyard Calm
15 Apr
I don’t know about you, but I have had an busy week, and could do with a bit of calm… Thankfully, I don’t have to go far, as just a couple of blocks from the Cute Suite, there is an almost ‘hidden’ courtyard between Carrer del Carme and Carrer del Hospital.

Sun, sun sun!
8 Apr
Hurrah! The sun is out in full force and temperatures are hotting up. No jackets are required, so get out your flip flops and head to the nearest park or plaça to soak up some rays…
