Three years to untangle the maze of the cultural offer that is Barcelona! All this, to live well, is putting its weight in money. From that point on, you exit the circle of tourism and low-cost access to areas where it makes art much better. Yes, because the tourist Barcelona is of three types.
The first is that it does not move along the Ramblas, born to be skinned, attracted by the reputation the city, this amusement park continued. It is an ignorant tourist, Pecorone of organized tours. The Picasso Museum is its most coveted cultural destination, when it goes to the museum of sex in Colon.
Then the tourist is caught. Along the "Pecorone" Sagrada Familia, one can see up to Montjuic and the Miro museum concerts of Palau. He drinks a cappuccino at Borne and makes shopping in the same neighborhood.
Finally there is the tourist money. Art goes down and makes shopping at Passeig de Gracia as everyone else, he just goes out shopping with bags in hand. Sometimes it can be seen from Bua up to Diagonal. Borne out not to because it feels cool, except when the dinner or Comerç Beasts 24. And concerts at the Liceu and the Palau, but not too much because it is generally invited to private parties up to Sarria.
The world of entertainment to the rhythm of the tourists. There are the pop concerts and discos frequented the fake flamenco shows to please the masses. The concerts are few quality, as well as the theater, which is divided between a millionaire and super-spectacle in Catalan in order to claim a cultural tradition is now superseded by a vanguard that does not look to regionalism.
And we, in all this, how we fit? We drink a beer at Borne because we are cool, but then we go to the Apollo or Razz. So then pop music is the same everywhere and that the entertainment industry has understood this well. To exit fees ... here, you have to pay. Since it provides a budget for the show open unexpected doors. Festival of Greek theater, and works great performers at the Liceu, Palau Herbie Hancock, experimental music on the terrace of the museum Miró (and at night there are two pianos, which are reflected on a pond while playing and the sun sinks slowly behind the city \u200b\u200bon fire). Exit and go home satisfied. More than satisfied: the more wise, rich, satisfied.
But then you meet people at those concerts, "exclusive" in such pleasant places? It is not clear.
Simo's friend-my faithful companion fled to the Liceu, I pointed out that in Naples, when he went to the theater, would meet half the world. Here? It is unknown if those who skirts is a university professor, party official or wealthy Andalusia. There is no-at least not explicitly-a recognizable social group that meets frequently to art events in the city. The people of the Liceu is not the same you see at your favorite restaurant or a movie before.
Barcelona will also elitist in its culture, so as to create watertight compartments of regulars? Or, more simply, there are culturally active groups and those who encounter when I go out at night are just other tourists, a fourth category of hidden and culturally active.
