Tricks of the Trade

Whereas I'd like to think of myself as reasonably decent looking, even my mum peed in her pants laughing when asked if she thought I was hot. "But you're such a nice young man, darling." So when I had men and women flirting with me, shamelessly, as in an AXE commercial, then I knew that something was up.

"Yeah, the place is full of prostitutes," my mate told me. And apparently it's not the only place. More and more people - men and women alike; locals as well as foreigners - are reportedly turning to selling themselves to make ends meet.

So with few groups hit harder by the crisis than architects, you wouldn't be surprised if studios were to offer more than just remodeling services in the bedroom. But while this particular association of architects will cater to your fetishes, one-on-one or in groups, it's not for that class of services.

No, Artchitectours offers tours that can customised to your personal interests, be it Modernist relics, private homes or pancake houses. Revisit Barcelona's architectural treasures in the company of experts.

If this catches on, then I suspect that we'll soon have tours of car factories and construction sites on offer, too..

  • Over The Moon

    No longer distracted by the sticky, sweet-talking Queen of Pop, let's turn our attention back to the King, and pay homage one last time. Mindless and too late? Hey, the dude's without a brain and remains unburied, so that would almost be appropriate.

  • Loud and Proud

    It was never going to please everybody -  “too activist”, “too commercial”, “too frivolous”, it was mumbled - but, in our humble opinion, the inaugural Pride Barcelona did well, even without the crisis-stricken Matinée Group.

  • Recreative

    Lots of impressive creative talent, some in finding constructive feedback to, ehem, less impressive work, but mostly on show in the portfolio of young hopefuls.

  • Shutter Bugged

    The masterminds behind PHotoEspaña and the annual cult mag Matador, marked their 15th anniversary by opening a Barcelona branch, complete with gallery, bookshop, café and an event space.

  • Hoss Call

    As catalogues go, Daniel Riera’s work with Tamsin Egerton for Hoss Intropia was real fine. But his exhibition in Hoss’ private showroom shows why he’s one of our favourite photographers these days.
