Here were Vicky, Cristina and Barcelona
Those guys would definitely appreciate the 5-star Hotel Neri — Relais & Chateaux , located in an 18th-century aristocratic house overlooking the Gothic Quarter. Modernity meets history, and the atmosphere of another time meets the comfort of the 21st century. An ideal starting point to go exploring the city. The hotel has a rooftop pool, bar, library and restaurant.

More than 1/3 of the food ends up in the trash
At Too Good To Go, you can buy food from a restaurant nearby at a discounted price. Not just food, but groceries and desserts that didn’t make the day’s sale.
Works like a regular food ordering app. You can buy food at a time designated by the restaurant.
The bag with food is called Surprise Bag, each of them saves 2.5 kg of carbon dioxide — as much as it takes to charge 440 smartphones. If you are an eco-conscious owner of a café, bakery, pub or hotel, you can sell off leftovers through the app and increase the visibility of your business.

Three villages outside Spain⚡️
Spain has completed 2022 grandly, with three of its villages included in the ranking of the best villages for tourism around the world, compiled by the UN World Tourism Organization.

Next year (in its first half) a gastronomic market from Time Out will open in Barcelona 🌮
The food and cultural market will gather under one roof all the best that the Catalan capital is known for. It is based on a simple idea: the editors and experts of Time Out choose the best food, drinks and cultural events that the city offers, and then gather them together and make them available to everyone. By the way, you can go to such a market in Lisbon.
The location has been chosen as the observation deck of the Maremagnum shopping center. There will be 14 different cuisines, 1 full restaurant, 2 bars inside and 2 outside overlooking the city.

• You need a written proof that you have been working remotely for one year.
• It is possible to apply for a visa from inside the country, the main thing is to be in the country legally. Even with a tourist visa.

• You cannot have residency status. At least six months must be in the country.

Good morning Spanish! Got some news for today 🔖
Travelling by train across the EU will become faster and cheaper thanks to new green transport rules. This will be helped not only by funding, but also by better coordination, regulation and promotion of rail services. In the future, trains are planned to connect Germany, Denmark and Sweden, to launch a night train from Paris to Venice and from Amsterdam to Barcelona.
Do you blame yourself for sometimes buying clothes that don't fit? It happens; there's a story of unwise spending on a larger scale. Two Spanish tourism bosses spent 258 million euros on trains that turned out to be too big for the tunnels. Before they realized their «embarrassing blunder» they had managed to order dozens of new trains.Better yet, they should have bought jeans one size smaller.
