- Do you live where you want to live?
- In Barcelona city, yes.
- Would you like to move? Why and where to?
- No, I wouldn't like to, because I know the people, and where my friends live and where the shops I need are. I live in an area with good transport, which allows me to move all over the city.
- Do you spend time in your neighbourhood and with your neighbours?
- Do you have the shops you need nearby (baker's, grocer's, dry cleaner's)? Yes, lots.
- As well as doing your daily shopping (if you do it) do you have places and services for all your needs?
- Yes, except for a park, a good gym and a good swimming pool.
- Do you stroll around your own neighbourhood for pleasure or do you go elsewhere?
- Both things, because I love walking.
- Which are your favourite cinemas, theatres and clubs?
- Verdi, Salambó, Teatre Lliure de Montjuïc, TNC, Sala Becket, Espai Brossa, etc.
- And which are your favourite restaurants, bars and cafés?
- I don't often go to restaurants, and when I do I go to very different places, because I decide along with those I am going out with. I like to be surprised and discover new places.
- Is there any public area where you like to go, to sit and chat?
- Port Olímpic and all the beaches: Nova Icària, Bogatell, Mar Bella, and also the Plaça d'Allada-Vermell.
- When you have to act as a guide for visitors, where do you take them?
- The Ciutat del Teatre, Montjuïc, Fundación Miró, CaixaForum, and the old quarter and the Port Olímpic.
- What is the most appropriate, funny or surprising adjective you have heard to describe Barcelona? Which one would you use?
- The typical: "Can Fanga", "pixapins"... it is lovely: Bar - cel - ona. And I would use the following rhyme: Si vols passar una bona estona, vés pel maig a Barcelona!(If you want to have a good time, come to Barcelona in May!)
- Of where, between the sea and Tibidabo, do you have the most memories?
- The Carrer del Montseny, between Leopoldo Alas and Torrent de l'Olla.
- Which is the best place (a park, a café, a seat in the city) to have a romantic date, or to be able to whisper sweet nothings to a loved one?
- To walk and be able to talk comfortably with people I care for, nowhere is better than the Carretera de les Aigües, and from Vallvidrera to Tibidabo.
- What colours or smells, when you see or smell them anywhere in the world, remind you immediately of Barcelona?
- The blue and the smell of the sea. The smell of a bread oven immediately makes me remember what E.T. said: "Home, Tel-e-phone".
- When you have had to leave the city for a while, what have you missed most?
- Meeting friends in the street and the food.
- Which of the changes that have been made in the city recently are you happiest with?
- That the Diagonal is so long and that you can go by bicycle or on skates.
- What don't you like, and what would you do to change it?
- The finishes on the new things, and that many pavement slabs are slippery, move, and are full of water when it rains. If you step on them you end up a mess.
- Add anything you would like to say, and that we haven't asked.
- I find it disturbing that, with the enormous effort to restore the façades of buildings in many neighbourhoods, three days later they are covered with graffiti and scrawls, with impunity. I also want to say aloud how depressing it is to arrive by train to Barcelona, at Sants station. I would like to highlight how lovely and comfortable and agreeable the libraries in Barcelona are.
