Púbol es un minúsculo pueblo del Empordá, pero con mucha fama gracias a su castillo, reformado por Dalí. Fue un regalo para Gala, su esposa, y aquí pasaron sus últimos días, pero no al mismo tiempo. El Castillo se puede vivistar como casa/museo, está lleno de curiosidades como los elefantes del jardín, la fuente con cabezas de Wagner, los coches de Gala, un ajedrez en forma de dedos y la fantástica colección de vestidos de Alta Costura de la mujer del artista. Pasen y vean!
Pubol is a ridiculously small town in the Empordá, but well known for its castle, rebuilt by Dalí. It was a present for Gala, his wife, where they spent their last days, but not at the same time. You can visit the house-museum filled with endless pieces of art: elephant sculptures in the garden, a fountain with Wagner heads, Gala's cars, a finger-shaped chess game and the wonderful Couture dresses collection, all worn by the artist's wife. Check it out!

El Teatro-Museo Dalí es el mayor atractivo de Figueras. Os podría contar muchas cosas, pero mejor que lo veáis vosotros!
The Dalí Theatre-Museum is the main attraction in Figueres. I could tell you a lot about it, but it's better if you see it!
La semana pasada se celebró la Semana Cultural Japonesa en el Real Jardín Botánico, conmemorando 400 años de relaciones entre España y Japón. Además de una exposición de Ikebana, hubieron muchas actividades y demostraciones, perfectas como acercamiento a una cultura tan diferente. No me quedé con los nombres de todo, pero os quiero contar un poquito de todo lo que experimenté allí. Si alguien con mejor conocimiento puede corregir o añadir algo, será muy de agradecer!
Japanese Cultural Week took place last week at the Royal Botanical Garden, in Madrid, celebrating 400 years of relations between Japan and Spain. Apart from the Ikebana exhibition there were several activities, perfect to get to know a little bit of such different culture. I can't remember the names of everything, but I want to tell you about the experience. If someone with better knowledge on the subject can correct or add anything, it'll make me very happy!

La retrospectiva "La Moda es Sueño", en el Museo Cerralbo hizo un repaso por la moda española de los últimos 25 años y sus diseñadores más relevantes. Los maniquíes parecían invitados a una fiesta del palacete del centro de Madrid, como si estuvieran inmóviles por algún hechizo. Una maravilla de lugar y de vestidos representativos de la moda española.
The retrospective "La Moda es sueño" (Fashion is a dream) at the Cerralbo Museum, was a walk down Spanish fashion memory lane, with pieces from the last 25 years by our most important designers. The mannequins looked like guests to a ball in this palace of Madrid, as if they had been frozen by some spell. Wonderful dresses in a wonderful place.
