Dedicating this blog to the amazing week I had in Barcelona in June. For the past 2 years me and the 'boyf' had said we were going to Sonar in Barcelona. It never happened, but this year it did! And it was awesome...
What is Sonar, I hear you say. Sonar is 'the international advanced music festival', which began in 1994 and runs for three days every June. I have always wanted to do a festival, but the rain, grass and tent combination has always put me off. So this was perfect, not a drop of rain, the sun was shining and the music blaring, and self catering apartment to return back to, fabulous.
It consisted of Sonar by day on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and Sonar by night on Friday and Saturday night. The line up was massive...
Flying Lotus (He smashed it)
Thundercat
Mary Anne Hobbs b2b Blawan
Fat Boy Slim (Who's set started at 4am!)
Annie Mac
Hot chip
Friendly Fires
Jacques Greene
James Blake
Psilosamples (Who did a beautiful acoustic version of Al Green - 'Lets stay together')
The alcohol was quite expensive within the festival, but if you nip outside, you can visit the shop, OR Mr. Mojito guy!
So great music was surrounded by great architecture and of course style. Hoping I would one day set up a blog, I took 'street style' pictures in-case.
When the festival ended, once recovered, we saw the beautiful sights. We stayed on the edge of the Gothic Quarter, near to Port Vell, which I would recommend as it wasn't too far away but not smack bang in the middle where my knickers would be drying on Las Ramblas! Ha. It was close to the beach, and the closest metro station was like a 5 minute walk.
So who's booking to go next year? meeeeeeeeeeeee
Adiós
