Catalonia visits Stockholm

Advertisement

If you can't come to Catalonia, Catalonia can come to you. This week has been crazy for us, with events after work three days out of five. At two of these meetings, the focus has been on north-eastern Spain, and what could be better when it's cold and dark outside? Here are some pictures from this week's mingle and all the Catalan delicacies we've enjoyed.

Catalonia on Travel Massive

Last Wednesday evening, it was time for the Travel Massive meeting. Travel Massive is an international association for people who work with travel, and in all cities that have local chapters, meetings are arranged from time to time. The cool thing about this is that as a member you can show up at Travel Massive meetings anywhere in the world, if it happens to be convenient.

Travel Massive on Wednesday was organised at the PopHouse, located at the Abba Museum at Djurgården. This time Catalonia was the co-organiser, and what do you get? Catalan picnic food, like pinchos, of course! Very good, and very nice mingle.

Four of us didn't even want to go home when it ended but went to hang out at a bar on Strandvägen. Inspired by southern latitudes, we chose to sit on the glassed-in veranda. With traps, blankets, jackets and infrared heating, it was really cosy ...!

Costa Brava event

On Thursday evening, we continued the Catalonia theme here in Stockholm. Costa Brava, the coastal region in the north-eastern part of Catalonia, hosted an event with culinary delights.

Super good cheeses

A bunch of lively waiters were constantly running around with new plates and serving things like croquettes with fish stew, truffle cannelloni, mushroom risotto, meat soup and salad with beans and raw cod. This was accompanied by wines from the Empordá wine region and finished with apple pie and Catalan crème brûlée. Need we say that it was fantastic?

Happy Friday

We are happy about all the fun things that have happened this week, but are also quite tired. Hanging out at events every night after long work days takes a lot of energy, haha. Anyway, we have to say that after these culinary experiences, we have become really hungry for travelling to Spain and Catalonia again, where we have not been since our long motorhome trip in 2015.

Tonight we are invited to friends and otherwise we hope to take it easy this weekend. What has been the best part of your week?
