Setting the Record Straight

Everyone almost knows that the best place to meet-up with your family and friends whom you have conveniently strayed from is la plaça Catalunya.

But wait!! Today I spare you the traditional blah-blah-blah.

Yes! It's a place where couples of all genders and ages snuggle, almost aping the white statue.

Yes! It’s adjacent to la Rambla and just a 15 minute walk down to the Mediterranean Sea.

Yes! It's surrounded by the Hard Rock Cafe, Burger King and department stores.


plaça Catalunya, 2007

But, the white statue of a woman in the photo is called "la Deessa" by Josep Clarà.

The heavy-duty structure to the right in the photo is the monument to Francesc Macià (first president of Catalunya) by Josep Maria Subirachs.

I mention this because some bloggers and flickrites have credited Josep Llimona as the sculptor.

Today I set the record straight.
