Travel Guide
Visit Barcelona
This really is the city of food and art and much of the food is infact art in itself. The most artistic places are…well everywhere since this is the city Gaudi built. Apart from his buildings, you should visit the neighbourhoods in the book which take you further afield. Don’t forget the essentials however such as the Gaudi Museum or the Erotic Museum which is very apt for this novel!
the city where the story starts in the restaurant is a good place to seek out the unusual and the very best Chicago cuisines. Many restaurants are where Elso has his and that area is also awash with art museums galleries and more. Try to go between January 27-February 9, as this is Chicago Restaurant Week when over 300 restaurants feature special good value menus. You can literarily taste the world in Chicago and then go to visit a gallery totally experiencing this novel in its entirety!
