Visc a Gràcia

The title would be Catalán for "I live in Gracia." And yes, I have an exterior window -- such a hot commodity. Most Barcelona flats have interior windows that usually look into the the laundry room, bathroom, u otros sitios desagradables como así.

In case you doubted me, I am actually in Spain. And yes, they are obsessed with their carne. These shops have such a distinct scent that you can smell from down the street.

This is an apartment building in Sitges, a gay friendly beach town along the Costa Brava. It´s all artsy and cute there; I loved it there so much that I could cry. Es tan preciosa.

So, if you know me at all you know that I have an obsession with figs. I love them in any form -- dried, in jam, and most of all FRESH (black mission are my favorite). I have never seen so many fresh figs as I have here in Catalunya and they are all so juicy and delectable. Here's a taste of heaven, or at least a picture of it...

This is the crazy Cuca cat, Monste's baby. This cat rules the place and dominates the terrassa.
