SENSES OF ADVENTURE
With its rich variety of sights, sounds and scents, a visit to Barcelona is an indulgent experience, as Stephen Doig explains 82 / 86

A trip to Barcelona is a heady experience. Whether ambling through La Boquería market or, with head raised, staring slack-jawed at the various sinewy Gaudí masterpieces that decorate the city, it’s hard not to feel as if one’s senses are being thoroughly awakened. This is no sleepy retreat – a trip to Barcelona is a feast of sights, smells and
sounds. From the fat, salty olives, pungent cheeses and piquant smell of chillies at the aforementioned market or the drifting strains of live music around El Born, Barcelona keeps the visitor completely entranced. For any culinary enthusiast, La Boquería is an essential port of call; chefs from around the world,

including Britain’s Thomasina Miers, count themselves as fans. The market itself can trace its history back to 1200, though the current structure dates from the early years of the 20th century. From traditional jamón ibérico to manchego cheese and sweet oranges from the east, it’s a haven of foodie delights. Food writer and author Rosie Birkett says of the market, ‘It’s an authentic slice of Spain.
46 | F E AT U R E S
What’s interesting is just how passionate everyone is about maintaining the market as a real foodcentric place, and the fact that it isn’t an experience purely for the elite – it’s natural for everyone to go there.’ There are more olfactory delights at historic perfumer Regia, which has a special place in the city’s afections. Opened in 1928 by perfumer Josep Giralt Giralt,

the store is worth visiting just for a snif of its glorious signature perfume, a summery medley of orange blossom, rose, jasmine and vanilla. Alongside this, you’ll fnd a raft of scents from international titans, from Robert Piguet to Tom Ford, Serge Lutens to Byredo. But it’s the accompanying ‘perfume museum’ that’s the real draw: cabinet upon cabinet of antique bottles of the world’s most hard-to-fnd and

real vials from Schiaparelli: it’s a veritable treasure trove. Spain has long had a special relationship with leather, the tactile quality of which adds to the sensory experience of a trip to Barcelona, whether it’s produced by artisanal makers such as Alexis Fasoli, whose wonderfully antiquelooking store invites visitors to linger, or by luxury leather giant Loewe. Founded in 1846 in Madrid by Enrique Loewe Roessberg, the label rapidly became a byword for craft and excellence, with aristocrats and royalty – including
King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenie, who granted it the title of ‘supplier to the Royal Court’ – beating a path to its doors. Today the label is just as committed to hand-crafted excellence, and spring’s ofering of hexagonalshaped bags, rich snakeskin totes and slouchy hobo bags is a masterclass in understated chic. But it’s perhaps the colours and patterns of Barcelona that make it such a visual extravaganza for visitors, whether in the Barri Gòtic with its historic architecture and winding maze of tangled lanes, or Gaudí’s spiraling, fowing forms – the magical Casa Batlló, Above: Gaudí’s colourful Casa Batlló

the enchanting Parc Güell with its pockets of mosaics and the extraordinary Sagrada Familia. And away from the streets and parks, this aesthetic and sense of colour exists in the city’s fashion design.

The eclectic mix of objects at Boo takes inspiration from Boo Radley, the dedicated collector in Harper Lee’s classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird. The store’s buyers seek out items with a story to tell; visitors will fnd fashion from heritage brands and emerging labels alongside a selection of books and perfumes. The interior is just as unusual, with deer motifs of all shapes and sizes decorating the walls, furniture and shelving. Expect to fnd pieces by Scotch & Soda, Cheap Monday, Kitsuné, Ben Sherman and Happy Socks among the range.

Translations РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 42: Senses Of Adventure
Страсть к неизведанному Обилие замков, звуков и запахов, – поездка в Барселону будет незабываемым опытом, считает Стивен Дойг Барселона подготовила немало приятных сюрпризов для своих гостей. Любой, кому посчастливится побывать на городском рынке Бокерия или воочию увидеть причудливые архитектурные творения Антонио Гауди, будет навсегда очарован этим городом. О слове скука здесь вероятно никто никогда не слышал, ведь Барселона это настоящий праздник, праздник музыки, ароматов и достопримечательностей. Рыночные ряды изобилуют местными деликатесами, сочными маслинами, пикантными сырами и ароматным чили, а с улочек района Эль Борн в любое время дня и ночи доносятся звуки живой музыки. Рынок Букерия особенно стоит посетить поклонникам изысканной кухни. Многие шеф-повара из разных стран мира, включая британскую знаменитость Томасину Майерс, просто обожают это место. История возникновения рынка globalblue.com
уходит своими корнями в 1200 год, хотя последние строения появились здесь лишь в начале 20 века. Это настоящий рай деликатесов – здесь найдется все: от традиционного сыровяленого окорока «Хамон иберико» и сыра Манчего до сладких южнобережных апельсинов. Писательница Рози Биркетт так описывает известный рынок: «Это очень атмосферное и любимое многими место. Интересно то, что рынок не изменяет своему традиционному формату и предлагает исключительно продукты питания, которые доступны не только для элиты, но и для любого, кто туда заглянет». Немало интересного ждет посетителей в знаменитом парфюмерном магазине Regia, который занимает особое место среди достопримечательностей города. Магазин был основан в 1928 году парфюмером Хосепом Геральтом, и зайти сюда стоит хотя бы ради того, чтобы познакомиться с его знаменитым фирменным ароматом – летним попурри из цветов апельсина, розы, жасмина и ванили. Кроме того здесь представлены ароматы ведущих мировых марок: от Robert Piguet и Tom Ford до Serge Lutens и Byredo. Однако главной изюминкой является расположенный при магазине музей парфюмерии, в котором представлены самые легендарные

и самые редкие парфюмы на Земле. Самые ценные хранятся в изящных фарфоровых флаконах, созданных еще в 1700-х годах. Наряду с сюрреалистичными флаконами Schiaparelli здесь также можно встретить винтажные сокровища от Dior, выглядящие настолько роскошно, словно они попали сюда прямиком из Прекрасной эпохи, одним словом – настоящий клад. Испания уже давно славится своим производством изделий из кожи, которые в Барселоне можно встретить практически на каждом шагу. Одинаково ценятся здесь как крупные производители, например Loewe, так и небольшие частные компании, такие как Alexis Fasoli, чьи витрины так и манят зайти внутрь и абсолютно все примерить. Бренд Loewe, основанный в Мадриде в 1846 году Энрике Лоеве Роессбергом, очень быстро стал синонимом мастерства и превосходного качества. Среди поклонников
бренда было немало аристократов и представителей королевской знати, включая короля Альфонсо III и королеву Викторию Евгению, которые удостоили марку Loewe титулом «поставщика королевского двора». Сегодня компания, как и прежде, предана своему делу. Весенняя коллекция бренда элегантна в своей простоте: в ней представлен большой ассортимент сумок в форме шестиугольника, сумок хобо, а также больших удобных сумок из змеиной кожи. Однако, пожалуй, главной особенностью Барселоны является яркий и оригинальный архитектурный облик. Поражает здесь абсолютно все: Готический квартал с непревзойденной архитектурой и лабиринтами запутанных улочек, сказочные шедевры Антонио Гауди, в том числе его знаменитое здание Casa Batlló, великолепный парк Гуэля с причудливым мозаичным декором и великолепной церковью

Sagrada Familia. Похожая эстетика и чувство цвета присуще не только городским улицам, но и городской моде. Для сезона весналето 2014 Хосеп Фонт, креативный директор испанского модного бренда Delpozo, предлагает украшенные цветочными узорами платья темно-розового и кремового цвета в сочетании с флуоресцентными оттенками, а также юбки в красно-желтых и фиолетовых тонах, – идеальный наряд, который как нельзя лучше будет соответствовать колоритной и праздничной атмосфере Барселоны. boqueria.info, regia.es, alexisfasoli.com, loewe.com, delpozo.com 79: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free
