Carme Saurina<br />
With only a doodle scribbled on a napkin, this interior<br />
<strong>de</strong>signer can transform a space. By Ada Castells<br />
There are so many stages to an<br />
interior <strong>de</strong>sign project – the<br />
commission, the <strong>de</strong>sign phase, the<br />
execution. Which part of the<br />
process do you enjoy most?<br />
The moment when a client tells me<br />
that they trust me completely. That<br />
happens more with public jobs – in<br />
a private house it’s practically<br />
unheard-of.<br />
It’s still a creative role though;<br />
what <strong>de</strong>fi nes you as a creator?<br />
It’s important for me to fi nd a story<br />
that links everything together. For<br />
example, for a shop specialising in<br />
formal wear, I imagined the moment<br />
the bri<strong>de</strong> and groom step out of the<br />
church and are showered in petals.<br />
I based my whole <strong>de</strong>sign for the<br />
interior on silver rose petals.<br />
Earlier you used a word that’s key<br />
to your work: psyche<strong>de</strong>lia.<br />
I try to make sure there’s something<br />
6 Time Out BCN Gui<strong>de</strong> January 2013<br />
unexpected, a sense of humour.<br />
Do you think people in <strong>Barcelona</strong><br />
have conservative tastes?<br />
I do get the feeling that before the<br />
credit crunch people were more open<br />
to new i<strong>de</strong>as. It’s like clothes: you<br />
buy things that last. You can only<br />
wear a really out-there <strong>de</strong>sign once.<br />
If you can’t always be an artist, at<br />
least you can be an artisan.<br />
I scribble i<strong>de</strong>as on napkins or on the<br />
back of old envelopes… my bag<br />
fi lls up with these little scraps of<br />
paper and in the end I can’t<br />
remember what they were for.<br />

our gui<strong>de</strong> to shops, restaurants, cafés, bars and<br />

Known for years as ‘Los Italianos’,<br />
now re-christened Maximum, this is<br />

16 All snacks, all the time<br />
Hot dogs and burgers that won’t<br />
break the bank, and professional<br />
service. What should be the norm –<br />
fast food that genuinely tastes good –<br />
is the exception on La Rambla, and its<br />
name is Viena. Plus, we love the<br />
charmingly kitschy Tyrolean décor.<br />

15 The people’s theatre<br />
The ground floor of a building<br />
<strong>de</strong>signed by Josep Domènech i Estapà<br />
as the seat of the Royal Aca<strong>de</strong>my of<br />
Sciences and Arts has been put to<br />
many uses over the years, but since<br />
the ’70s it’s been given over to the<br />
performing arts, and is one of the<br />
most popular theatres in the city.<br />
EL POLIORAMA. La Rambla, 115<br />

Arpí has been a specialist photography<br />

museum on the fifth floor <strong>de</strong>dicated to<br />
their foun<strong>de</strong>r, Salvador Serra, with a<br />
collection of historical pieces.<br />
ARPÍ. La Rambla, 38-40<br />

The antidote to plastic paella<br />
You don’t have to be a food critic to<br />
feel disappointed by the fare on offer<br />
along La Rambla, dominated by<br />
reheated tapas and prefab paella. But<br />
Amaya keeps the finest traditions of<br />
Basque cooking alive, and has the<br />
cachet of being the ol<strong>de</strong>st working<br />
restaurant on the street.<br />
AMAYA. La Rambla, 20-24
CASA BEETHOVEN<br />

The ol<strong>de</strong>st tunes in town<br />
Sheet music for flute, harp, organ –<br />
classical or mo<strong>de</strong>rn: if Casa<br />
Beethoven doesn’t have it in stock,<br />
they’ll find it for you. Hid<strong>de</strong>n round<br />
the corner from the Palau <strong>de</strong> la<br />
Virreina, this is one of the city’s<br />
musical treasures, a fixture since<br />
1880. A little further up the street, at<br />
129, the Musical Emporium has been<br />
selling instruments for over a century.<br />
CASA BEETHOVEN. La Rambla, 97<br />

Nightmares on wax<br />
The contents of the Wax Museum<br />
make for a fun visit, but the big<br />
attraction is the container. Walking<br />
down the Passatge <strong>de</strong> la Banca towards<br />
Elies Rogent’s 19th-century building is<br />
like stepping into the perfect stage set<br />
for a horror story…<br />

You could sit at one of Bar Cosmos’s<br />
metallic bar fronts for hours,<br />

the regulars. It’s as if refugees from<br />
the ’70s were drawn to the only café in<br />

07 Suits you, Sir…<br />
Like all the best tailors, Tristany<br />
Xancó always has a tape measure at<br />
hand to take his customers’<br />
measurements. While some of La<br />
Rambla’s other classic menswear<br />
establishments – like Mo<strong>de</strong>lo, run by<br />
the Pantaleoni family, or Bonet shirts<br />
– have been replaced by chain stores<br />
and souvenir shops, at Xancó you can<br />
still buy ma<strong>de</strong>-to-measure shirts in a<br />
mo<strong>de</strong>rnista shop that’s almost 200<br />
years old. We’re looking forward to<br />
their bicentenary.<br />
CAMISERIA XANCÓ.<br />

06 Classy croissants<br />
For <strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong>s, the Antiga Casa<br />

05 Star-whats?<br />
<strong>Barcelona</strong> has allowed so many of its<br />
historic cafés to be <strong>de</strong>stroyed that the<br />
survival of Cafè <strong>de</strong> l’Opera in its<br />
current location on La Rambla for<br />
almost 100 years is a real cause for<br />
celebration. Elegant mirrors<br />
engraved with feminine figures<br />
reflect the constant flow of<br />
customers at the tables – tourists,<br />
opera-goers, locals, nighthawks and<br />
bohemians.<br />
CAFÈ DE L’ÒPERA.<br />
La Rambla, 74<br />
04 The temple of song<br />
Put your preconceptions asi<strong>de</strong>: a<br />
night at the opera can cost less than<br />
tickets to see the ‘in’ band of the<br />
moment. So why not pay a visit to<br />
<strong>Barcelona</strong>’s great temple of song?<br />
EL LICEU. La Rambla, 51-59

Keep your eyes peeled...<br />
A work of art in the middle of<br />
La Rambla: the mosaic by Joan<br />
Miró in the Pla <strong>de</strong> l’Os, which so<br />
many tread on without noticing.<br />
In front of the Wax Museum<br />
stands one of the original Wallace<br />
fountains, bequeathed to the city<br />
by the English philanthropist Sir<br />
Richard Wallace. The other<br />
fountain, higher up La Rambla, is<br />
a reproduction.<br />
Josep Vilaseca <strong>de</strong>signed<br />
the dragon and other Far<br />
Eastern motifs that adorn what<br />
was once a fan and umbrella<br />

Casañas.<br />
Blue and slen<strong>de</strong>r, Casa<br />
Genové, at number 77, the work<br />
of prolific architect Enric Sagnier,<br />
is one of the most attractive<br />
buildings on La Rambla.<br />
Two of the buildings that<br />
flank the beginning of La Rambla<br />
are empty: the Teatre Principal,<br />
owned by the Balaña family, and<br />
the one-time cannon foundry. A<br />
real shame…<br />
Three of the palaces that<br />
once lined the street still stand<br />
today: the Palau Moja (on the<br />
corner of C/ Portaferrisa), the<br />
Virreina (no. 99) and the Marc<br />
<strong>de</strong> Reus (no. 8).<br />
The Esglesia <strong>de</strong> Betlem is<br />
the only church on La Rambla to<br />
have survived the waves of anticlerical<br />
violence that swept the<br />
city in the 19th and early 20th<br />
centuries – and even then, only<br />
the exterior. The church of Sant<br />
Josep and Santa Mònica is a<br />
mo<strong>de</strong>rn building.<br />
02<br />
Who will buy my sweet red<br />
roses?<br />
Flower-sellers have been adding a<br />
splash of colour to La Rambla for<br />
centuries. Celebrated in prose by<br />
playwright Josep Maria Sagarra, in<br />
song by Miquel Porter and Joan<br />
Manuel Serrat, and the inspiration for<br />
painters like Ramon Casas, the<br />
flower-sellers are an essential part of<br />
La Rambla’s heritage. As Serrat sings<br />
in ‘Floristes <strong>de</strong> les Rambles’, ‘flowers<br />
for tourists, flowers for lovers, flowers<br />
for the rich and the poor...’<br />

‘LA BOQUERIA’<br />

The best market in the<br />
world<br />
Encircled by the neoclassical Plaça<br />
Sant Josep, the Boqueria doesn’t boast<br />
the imposing iron superstructure of<br />
the Born market, or the gran<strong>de</strong>ur of<br />
Sant Antoni. But it’s become the most<br />
flamboyant and busiest market in the<br />
city, bringing together long-term<br />
resi<strong>de</strong>nts and newcomers, vendors of<br />
local produce and importers of exotic<br />
<strong>de</strong>licacies, chefs in search of the finest<br />
ingredients and tourists in search of a<br />
sandwich. The Boqueria is<br />

ON LA RAMBLA<br />
7AM<br />
We pick up a copy of Time<br />
Out <strong>Barcelona</strong> at the kiosk<br />
near Canaletes fountain.<br />
Time to kick-start the day<br />
with a coffee, at Núria, a<br />
Rambla institution since<br />
1933, and also a popular<br />
stop for late, late suppers.<br />
11AM<br />
On the Rambla <strong>de</strong>ls<br />
Estudis you’ll fi nd the last<br />
surviving bird stall among<br />
the supposedly traditional<br />
souvenirs – although the<br />
stacks of Mexican-style<br />
sombreros aren’t quite so<br />
high these days.<br />

A bunch of gerbera daisies<br />
for €4 from a fl orist stall.<br />
With the sun shining on the<br />
blooms, this is still one of<br />
the prettiest spots on La<br />

Sant Gal<strong>de</strong>ric, where<br />

Overfl owing café terraces<br />
and an army of living<br />
statues slow foot traffi ce on<br />

hawking everything from<br />

The big <strong>de</strong>cision:<br />
chicken, beef or pork?<br />
With winter comes game season.Vegetarians, look<br />
away: it’s time for meat-eating diners to unleash their<br />
inner carnivore. Ricard Martín sharpens his fangs<br />
I remember the baby chicks that my<br />
mother’s grandmother used to raise in<br />
the village: fluffy bundles as cute as<br />
animated pom-poms, just like the ones<br />
used to <strong>de</strong>corate Easter eggs. But once<br />
they’d grown a crest, the birds would<br />
make one last voyage with my greatgrandma,<br />
to return on Christmas Day in<br />
a cooking pot, stewed with apricots,<br />
sausages and pine nuts. I’ve never tasted<br />
chicken like it since: juicy and <strong>de</strong>licious<br />
to the last mouthful.<br />
But I have to admit it: Chez Cocó<br />
represents a giant step forward for<br />
lovers of the chicken flavours of<br />
14 Time Out BCN Gui<strong>de</strong> January 2013<br />
yesteryear. And for <strong>Barcelona</strong><br />
resi<strong>de</strong>nts who queue for a traditional<br />
spit-roast chicken on Sundays, only to<br />
be disappointed when they get it home,<br />
Chez Cocó is manna from heaven. In<br />
their stately, imposing dining room –<br />
it’s like eating on the Orient Express<br />
with more elbow room – Enrique<br />
Valentí lays out their principles: ‘We<br />
want people to take another look at all<br />
kinds of birds – including game.’ That<br />
means their roast chicken shares menu<br />
space with woodcock – the crowning<br />
glory of wild game cookery, prepared<br />
in traditional style – and other
feathered <strong>de</strong>licacies. On one wall of the<br />
entranceway, spits turn relentlessly in<br />
front of the hot grill, while the chefs<br />
scoop up juices to spoon over crispyskinned<br />
fowl.<br />
We continue our high-protein stroll<br />
with a stop at Cru. This Americanstyle<br />
steakhouse is the restaurant at<br />
the Marriott Renaissance Hotel, and<br />
chef Stefan Wystup sings the praises<br />
of their fare. ‘We serve Black Angus<br />
beef raised in Creekstone, Arkansas.<br />
The farm has its own slaughterhouse,<br />
and the stock are fed an 80 percent<br />
vegetarian diet, without any<br />
antibiotics or ad<strong>de</strong>d hormones.’ The<br />
beef arrives vacuum-packed, after<br />
three weeks’ aging. When served, the<br />
meat has the rich caramel browns<br />
preferred across the Atlantic, rather<br />
than the hysterical reds of so many<br />
rare Spanish steaks. Perfect results are<br />
ensured by an American-style oven,<br />
with 1,300ºC gas flames above and a<br />
griddle below.<br />
To complete our meaty trilogy we<br />
head for the Raval to sample the pork<br />
dishes at Suculent (although they<br />
also serve an appropriately<br />
succulent oxtail). Open for some five<br />
months now, next to Botero’s chubby<br />
cat sculpture on the Rambla <strong>de</strong>l<br />
Raval, Suculent is part-owned by<br />
noted restaurateur Carles Abellan,<br />
while the kitchen is run by 25-yearold<br />
chef Toni Romero, trained at El<br />
Bulli. Pork dishes play an important<br />
role on the menu: there are racks of<br />
black-footed Iberian pork ribs, or the<br />
botifarra meatballs with cuttlefish.<br />
On Sundays they serve mar-imuntanya<br />
– the classic Catalan meat<br />
and seafood dish – accompanied by<br />
live flamenco music.<br />

Ikibana’s spacious new premises on<br />
Paral·lel complements their existing<br />
restaurant in the Born, bringing a<br />
taste of Tokyo and São Paulo to<br />
<strong>Barcelona</strong>’s gastronomes. Their menu<br />
is a culinary fusion of two contrasting<br />
food cultures, continuing a process<br />
that began when the first Japanese<br />
emigrants arrived in Brazil in the<br />
early 20th century. The provisions<br />
they brought in their luggage soon<br />
ran out, but they ma<strong>de</strong> up for that by<br />
drawing on Brazil’s extraordinary<br />
range of natural produce: since they<br />
couldn’t replace the original<br />
ingredients, they created a new<br />
cuisine.<br />
Over 100 years later, Japanese-<br />
Brazilian cuisine is world-famous,<br />
with its own distinct i<strong>de</strong>ntity. As a<br />
backdrop to the New World flavours<br />
and textures on your plate, Ikibana<br />
has created a strikingly original<br />
interior, with vivid colours and<br />
swirling shapes that heighten the<br />
sensation of setting sail on a culinary<br />
adventure. –Marcelo Aparicio<br />

Stellar snacks Cocktail bars are back<br />
in fashion, springing up all over the city,<br />
but what we have here is something<br />
special: a snackeria, featuring cocktails<br />
and snacks with all the unmistakable<br />
hallmarks of the El Bulli philosophy. As<br />
sister establishment to Tickets, where<br />
Ferran Adrià lets his imagination run<br />
riot in the world of tapas, 41º offers<br />

easier to get a reservation. –M.G.<br />

best bravas A reputation for the best<br />
patatas bravas in <strong>Barcelona</strong> (possibly in<br />
Spain) is a double-edged sword. Bar<br />
Tomás were proclaimed kings of the<br />
bravas a long time ago, and they’ve been<br />
fighting off preten<strong>de</strong>rs ever since, evervigilant<br />
for that overcooked spud or<br />

every new customer who walks through<br />
the door wants to taste those famous<br />
bravas for themselves. They’re excellent,<br />

the Sagardi chain of Basque-style tapas<br />
joints, and offers a broadly similar range of<br />
pintxos – tapas speared to a slice of bread<br />
with cocktail sticks. But with its maritime<br />
décor and intimate bar, Golfo <strong>de</strong> Bizkaia<br />
makes an attractive spot to rub shoul<strong>de</strong>rs<br />
with Born regulars. At peak times you may<br />
need to fight your way to the tapas, but their<br />
pintxos are worth the effort.<br />

Designer Lydia Delgado has found the perfect partner<br />
to reinvent her brand – her daughter, Miranda<br />
Makaroff. Laia Beltran visits their boutique in Gràcia<br />
‘I don’t believe it.’ ‘She’s the third<br />
person who’s called about the same<br />
dress.’ ‘And this Paula Echevarría – is<br />
she that famous?’ ‘She probably got it<br />
from Moca Couture.’ ‘Look, her blog<br />
has 44,000 followers! Wow!’ ‘Someone<br />
else wants it in a 38. Do we have any<br />
left?’ Surprise and <strong>de</strong>light in equal<br />
measure fill the air at Lydia Delgado’s<br />
boutique, on an ordinary weekday<br />
morning. An actress picks a dress for a<br />
chat show appearance. The next day<br />
she posts a photo on her blog, and<br />
within minutes there’s an avalanche of<br />
enquiries.<br />
You’d think it was the first time<br />
Lydia Delgado’s <strong>de</strong>signs had ma<strong>de</strong><br />
waves in the media. She’s been in the<br />
fashion business for over 20 years, and<br />
has built a brand with a highly<br />

Lydia Delgado (the label) couldn’t be a<br />
better reflection of Lydia Delgado (the<br />

spontaneity – a trait she shares with<br />
her daughter Miranda Makaroff.<br />
They’re both extroverts. ‘She has great<br />
taste, she’s an artist, and her<br />
illustrations are fantastic. They’re full<br />
of light.’ It could only be a mother<br />
talking about her daughter. ‘I’ve had<br />
faith in her ever since she was little,’<br />
she confi<strong>de</strong>s. Miranda, meanwhile, has<br />
hair dyed in three sha<strong>de</strong>s, skull rings<br />

wears platform creepers. Her blouse,<br />

City paradise<br />
Turó Park, one of <strong>Barcelona</strong>’s green lungs, is<br />
celebrating its 100th anniversary. Eugènia Sendra<br />
isn’t a local, but she walks her dog there<br />
Lunchtime at Turó Park. A man chats<br />
on the phone while his Dalmatian<br />
waters the grass among the welltrimmed<br />
shrubbery; a retired couple<br />
comman<strong>de</strong>er a bench for their daily dose<br />
of sunshine. There are mums swinging<br />
kids in the playground, runners jogging<br />
up and down the winding paths, and<br />
stu<strong>de</strong>nts with packed lunches. It’s rush<br />
hour for dogs – and the owners who<br />
walk them – and there are also plenty of<br />
newcomers excited to discover the<br />
water lily–covered pond.<br />
You’ll see similar scenes in any of the<br />
city’s green spaces, but Turó Park has a<br />
special charm. In 1912, it opened its gates<br />
as an amusement park whose attractions<br />
inclu<strong>de</strong>d a rollercoaster and a tethered<br />
balloon that gave visitors a bird’s-eye<br />
view of the Galvany district – as well as<br />
puppet shows and daily concerts.<br />

then director of the Parks Service, who<br />

of an ‘earthly paradise’, but also a<br />
network of natural spaces that would<br />
link Plaça Francesc Macià with the<br />
Cervantes park in Pedralbes, via<br />
Avinguda Diagonal. ‘He championed<br />
i<strong>de</strong>as that are still relevant today – he saw<br />
the need for green spaces that penetrate<br />
the city,’ says Enric Batlle, lecturer in<br />
Urbanism and Landscape Architecture<br />
at the Polytechnic University of<br />
Catalonia. Incorporating sea views and<br />
almost untamed nature into the city<br />
setting, Rubió i Tudurí adapted the<br />

Critical Episo<strong>de</strong>s<br />
(1957–2011)<br />
<strong>Barcelona</strong>’s contemporary art museum shakes up its<br />
collection to get us thinking about how we en<strong>de</strong>d up in<br />
our current state of systemic crisis. By Ricard Mas<br />
�����<br />
MACBA<br />
Until June 2013<br />
The MACBA Foundation celebrates its<br />
quarter centenary with a thorough<br />
reorganization of its collection – a<br />
collection that has grown, through<br />
numerous donations and <strong>de</strong>posit<br />
agreements, including one with ‘La<br />
Caixa’ Foundation, to reach a total of<br />
10,000 artworks, 200 of which are on<br />
display in Critical Episo<strong>de</strong>s (1957–2011).<br />
24 Time Out BCN Gui<strong>de</strong> January 2013<br />
These ‘episo<strong>de</strong>s’ are <strong>de</strong>signed to<br />
make up a sequence of reflections,<br />
sometimes in the form of tableaux<br />
vivants, on the events that have led to<br />
our current situation of systemic<br />
crisis. But as a sequence of reflections,<br />
they’re not dogma. And since a<br />
sequence of words – like the ones<br />
you’re reading now – are not dogma<br />
either, I feel at liberty to advise you to<br />
do some serious background reading<br />
before you approach the towering<br />
altarpiece of the MACBA.<br />
The title of the first critical episo<strong>de</strong> is<br />
Content Becomes Something to Be
Avoi<strong>de</strong>d Like a Plague. And it’s a lie.<br />
The exhibition is <strong>de</strong>nse, rich and<br />
<strong>de</strong>nse, but absolutely not lacking in<br />
content. It speaks to the notion of<br />
creation as an analytic method of<br />
<strong>de</strong>accumulation – if not<br />
<strong>de</strong>construction. To take one example,<br />
Portabella’s 1969 film shows Joan Miró<br />
erasing the mural he had painted on<br />
the faça<strong>de</strong> of <strong>Barcelona</strong>’s architects’<br />
college. There are also familiar names<br />
from the first wave of globalised<br />
political-pop, such as Öyvind<br />
Fahlström, Miralda, Hans Haacke and<br />
Gerhard Richter, as well as<br />
distinguished interpreters of signs<br />
such as Marcel Broodthaers and<br />
Dorothée Selz.<br />
The section entitled Fissures will be<br />
har<strong>de</strong>r for the general public to come to<br />
terms with – a group of accumulative<br />
works, installations with a shockingly<br />
dark sense of humour and punk<br />
metaphysics: Matt Mullican, Oriol<br />
Vilapuig, Mike Kelley, Raymond<br />
Pettibon and even the celebrated<br />
Pinocchiesque parodies of Paul<br />
McCarthy, to which, if you’ll excuse<br />
the irreverence, the years have not<br />
been kind.<br />
Un<strong>de</strong>r the suggestive title<br />
Voyeurism, Fetishism and Narcissism,<br />
we find one of the dullest sections of<br />
the exhibition, which investigates<br />
ways of looking through vi<strong>de</strong>o,<br />
photography and installation. Dara<br />
Birnbaum and Dan Graham’s vi<strong>de</strong>os<br />
are soporific. Jeff Wall’s only saving<br />
grace is his technical prowess.<br />
The last two sections are <strong>de</strong>dicated<br />
respectively to Work, Power and<br />
Control, and Déconnage, the latter a<br />
vi<strong>de</strong>o installation about the Catalan<br />
psychiatrist Francesc Tosquelles. It’s<br />
certainly worth watching – but it’s<br />
also worth asking what a work like<br />
this is doing in the MACBA. On the<br />
subject of work, a large-scale<br />
installation by Allan Sekula, created<br />
for Documenta 2007, contrasts the<br />
<strong>de</strong>cline of heavy industry with the<br />
work of major sculptors such as<br />
Oteiza, Serra and Chillida. It left this<br />
reviewer nostalgic for old-school<br />
minimalism.<br />
Classical music<br />
Buchbin<strong>de</strong>r<br />
and Schubert<br />
A few years before his <strong>de</strong>ath, Franz<br />
Schubert composed the Impromptus,<br />
eight pieces for solo piano that were<br />
published separately. The second<br />
group, published after the composer’s<br />
<strong>de</strong>ath, op. 142, are pieces of enormous<br />
chromatic beauty and great technical<br />
difficulty, written in different keys. The<br />
Austrian Rudolf Buchbin<strong>de</strong>r, one of<br />
the world’s foremost pianists, will<br />
perform these key works in <strong>Barcelona</strong><br />
as part of the Palau 100 cycle. Among<br />
his many accomplishments are his<br />
complete recordings of Beethoven’s<br />
sonatas and variations, as well as<br />
Brahms’s piano concertos. An expert<br />
in the romantic period, who first<br />
recor<strong>de</strong>d Schubert’s eight Impromptus<br />
22 years ago, he will also be<br />
performing Schumann’s Symphonic<br />
Studies at the Palau.<br />
The Palau 100 concert cycle<br />
inclu<strong>de</strong>s another unmissable date this<br />
January: American soprano Barbara<br />
Hendricks performs the premiere of<br />
the Concert for Percussion by Catalan<br />
composer Joan Guinjoan. The great<br />
soprano will be accompanied the<br />
Cadaquès Orchestra, conducted by<br />

Punk heritage<br />
Si<strong>de</strong>car, <strong>Barcelona</strong>’s most venerable live rock<br />
venue, turns 30 in style. Ricard Martín goes back<br />
un<strong>de</strong>rground<br />
Between 1951 and 1987, the US Sixth<br />
Fleet anchored o� <strong>Barcelona</strong>, regularly<br />
releasing waves of marines eager for<br />
their R&R. To lure them into their<br />
establishments, <strong>Barcelona</strong> bar owners<br />
– as well as � lling the places with<br />
ladies of easy virtue – rechristened<br />
their bars with the names of American<br />
states: Arkansas, Kentucky, California<br />
… and Texas, the last located in the<br />
corner of Plaça Reial. Legend has it<br />
that the owner of this basement bar<br />
once rented it out to a troop of marines<br />
and walked out, leaving them to it for<br />
24 hours. When he reopened the next<br />
day he found more horizontal bodies<br />
than vertical ones, draped over every<br />
available surface.<br />
The current owner has become a<br />
legend in his own right: Roberto Tierz<br />
has run Si<strong>de</strong>car for 30 years, during<br />
which time it’s become a Plaça Reial<br />
landmark and an essential part of<br />
26 Time Out BCN Gui<strong>de</strong> January 2013<br />
<strong>Barcelona</strong>’s live music scene. Si<strong>de</strong>car<br />
has been hosting live bands week after<br />
week, without interruption, longer<br />
than any other venue in the city. What’s<br />
the secret? ‘A miracle!’ laughs Roberto.<br />
‘Or maybe because when we started<br />
out, we didn’t have big plans – we just<br />
did whatever we felt like.’ Turning<br />
their back on jazz, they put on the � rst<br />
home-grown punk and new wave<br />
bands from <strong>Barcelona</strong> and the rest of<br />
Spain. ‘After the basement had been<br />
open for a month and a half we were<br />
selling out every night. There were a<br />
lot of people out there waiting for a bar<br />
like this one,’ Roberto reminisces. The<br />
other secret of Si<strong>de</strong>car’s longevity is<br />
the consistency of its programming –<br />
always favouring the edgiest<br />
un<strong>de</strong>rground rock.<br />
