Barcelona Speed Tour
17.03.2005
A week in Barcelona. Not a bad way to spend a week strategizing about the future of the Nike Brand. 10 hours meetings + 5 hour dinners. Tiring I tell you… but an enjoyable trip. My team even won the futsal tournament if you can believe it!! At the end of 3 very long days, I did manage to sneak a day to spy barcalona during my inagural trip. Come fly with me…
First we headed to Park Guella, one of the many shrines to Antoni Gaui. As you walk into the park, you are immediately hit with the impact of the details fo the work and architecture in a non-american way.

We also saw this great house with the phrase Okupa Y Resiste written on the roof. Upon closer inspection, the rebellious words, No Justice, No Police, Fuck the Police!… priceless and beautiful.
From the Park, believe it or not, we took the BUS to Casa Mila where Gaudi lived. We didn’t get to see the whole inside, but it has an amazing courtyard.
My short 5 hour tour of spain was amazing and some precious time away from the meeting… but one of the perks of having your meeting at the stadium offices of the FCBarcelona team is that you get to actually walk on the pitch. The actual field where magic is made. The same grass where Ronaldhino makes effortless movements as he attacks the goal. Amazing!

Not a bad way to spend the weak…
