FESTES DE GIRONA! És impossible que aquestes festes es puguin oblidar, i menys si tens uns amics que t'estan donant la tabarra durant tot l'any per sortir aquests dies.
Pels gironins són uns dies tant o més importants que els de Nadal!

Ara tinc el dilema, no sé quines allargarguen més la nit, si les festes de Gràcia, les de Sans o bé les de Girona... La gent és diferent, a Barcelona són barris que es gaudeix per l'esplendor de la decoració i tot un barri està despert... hi ha escenaris a cada plaça! a Girona és diferent... abans de les 12 hi ha tasts, paradetes que venen productes handmade i la festa està l'aire lliure, al costat del parc de la Devesa, molt natural tot... mai millor dit! tot està concentrat en un escenari, però és molt gros i poden cabre moltes persones! A més, hi ha les famoses barraques, super importants, són el temple sagrat durant les Fires. Estan distibuïdes en mig cercle, com un amfiteatre, i just a la punta l'escenari. Com veieu molta gresca, i més si en aquell moment toca algun grup musical. Ara que, aquest any he trobat que n'hi havien menys, o m'ho ha semblat a mi?

***************

Res, ha estat molt bé! al menys tots els dies hem acabat d'una peça! ;)
Ahir, encara vàrem aprofitar per sortir més; avui encara ens dura la festa, però demà ja vindrà la depressió de pensar que ens tocarà esperar un altre any!
       

New Apple Store (Barcelona)

The first time I heart that Apple was considering to have a new Apple Store I thought: "Great... Yes... In U.S., right?". And I didn't put so much attention. Two months after that rumour, I read an article that certainly Apple was planning a new Apple Store. So rumour confirmed. Then, the question was: Where? When I read "Spain" I just went nuts! I could not believe that.
However, the best part was still to arrive. Different news were to come.
First, we knew the country, but not the city. As I live in Barcelona I wished it'd be in Barcelona or a city nearby. Therefore, the next new was there: "Apple is considering Madrid and Barcelona to introduce an Apple Store". No way! Barcelona was mean to be... And finally it was!
Secondly, we knew the city, but not the place. I was thrilled to have an Apple Store in Passeig de Gràcia. This is the best place to have an Apple Store! Passeig the Gràcia is like Regent's Street in London, and there there is the most beautiful Apple Store I ever seen (and I have seen a few). Apple thought that too. But no. Apple's idea was tangled by a net of I-don't-know-who's-interest-was to bet the offer of a selling place in there. Mango got it for an-amount-of-money-that-only-a-few-know. That was absolutely insane! That was, I mean, NO! Well then, Apple need some place that actually could satisfy its kind of store. So, Centre Comercial La Maquinista. I was there on the opening day.

I think that it is an absolutely-wrong-first-feet of Apple in Barcelona that I hope some day we could see en Apple Store in Passeig de Gràcia. Please?
