B AR CELONA travel A popular destination at any time of the year, Barcelona offers even the most seasoned traveller a new insight or a colourful experience for every day of the week WED MORNING Art and Culture There’s always an interesting exhibition or installation on display at the Caixa Forum. And you’ll usually find more than one going on at any time, so you can really hang out all day. Pause at the Forum’s restaurant where you can enjoy a long set lunch, or go for a simpler and speedier self service option. Or if film is more your thing, some cinemas offer discounts on Wednesdays. But true fans of the silver screen will head to Filmoteca de Catalunya for a real insight into Catalan movie history. In the summer, Barcelona’s balmy climate makes this an ideal location for movies under the stars. There are lots of outdoor options at Sala Montjuïc, including Nau Ivanow, Ateneu Barcelonès, Centre Cívic Cotxeres de Sants and L’Illa Diagonal. Entry is always under 10 euros, and some are even free. You might even find George Clooney talking in Spanish. AS COTT LIVING 19
