The “Gremi de Restauració” preparing a tapas route in Barceloneta and l’Hospitalet in Plaza Europa mounted on the L’H Experience.

Tapas Bar Barceloneta-Barcelona

Mobile already get beers, and wine, and champagne to cool… and prepares its tapas … Cod with Apricot, beef tripe with chickpeas and monkfish, bombs stuffed shrimp scampi and potatoes black “allioli”(garlic mayonnaise) made with squid ink … are some of the tapas that some of the most distinguished restaurants and bars in the neighborhood of Barceloneta prepared to entertain the thousands of congressmen who come to Barcelona for holding the next edition Mobile World Congress. In the 30,000 backpacks will welcome them a small map with the direction of the 25 partner establishments. Surely the project, and about to become a reality, expansion of the subway to the airport of El Prat contributed to lengthening the decisive engagement of Barcelona and the Mobile mode.

But no one knows to what extent so does the culture of tapas. There are very difficult issues to reflect an agreement. As the temperature of the beer. At GSMA CEO John Hoffman, the boss of Mobile, and you may consider a regular neighborhood bar Córdoba Pubilla Cases in l’Hospitalet de Llobregat. Every year we pass by, at least for a while.

A technological event, presented today officially, is already barely one month. And organizers want their fair take a few more roots in the city, also make note in the neighborhoods, which the locals see it as more than a curious invasion of executives from the four corners of the planet …. So he commissioned the Barcelona Gremi de Restauració to develop a tapas route that went beyond the immediate vicinity of the pavilions of Mobile scenarios and the most typical of Barcelona postcards. The goal, continue explaining the guild is that most congressmen mingle with the townsfolk. Therefore, the route will start shortly before the congress, on February 18, and ends a little later, on 28. Cover and glass of champagne or white wine for 4 euros. And the idea is to repeat next year, but in another neighborhood. They chose to start in Barceloneta because it is a safe bet. As the tapas.

In addition, the City of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat 400 mounted a tent m2en Europa Square, opposite the Fira Granvia. This is the L’H Experience. Eight restaurants in the city will be installed there between 22 and 24 February and will offer traditional tapas Congress. Typical Spanish classics such as paella, which is what visitors are seeking, with products such as proximity Prat artichokes or spring onions are combined. Tapas tasting will be accompanied by musical performances and dances. In this way we want to present to the congressmen the city and also to bring the Mobile to citizenship.

The call to strike by metro workers during Mobile stands. And, given the international impact of this conference, it is also the scene of many labor protests. UGT maintains the call in order to perform two 24-hour strikes each on 22 and 24 February. Union sources explained that the last meeting with the representatives of management of Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona, ​​held yesterday, did not give the expected results. “The negotiations on the new collective agreement still jammed, the company has not made any move they – so we maintain the call. We are negotiating since October. Less and less time left. But we are open to continue talking. ” The union also wants to hold a five-hour strike, from 10:00 to 15:00 the next day February 2.

The brotherhood of beer

Mikkeller, one of the most prestigious craft beers in the world, opens in BCN

Mikkeller-BCN

Thomas Rohde has not exactly look of a big beer drinker. Although the gasket 40, her belly is a plain. Front profile, sitting. Nothing, not an abdominal fold. Then he explains that makes triathlons, who has run several Iron Man, and of course that’s impossible that fits any residue that emparente with Homer Simpson. But the cloth known as a sage. “In fact, beer is a good recovery. It has protein, minerals … And was invented to kill bacteria from dirty water. ”

Rohde was born in Denmark and has spent 15 years in Barcelona. He works as a business consultant and has now been put into a business after tomorrow opens its doors in the city (Calle Valencia, 202). Expanding of handcrafted beers, Mikkeller lands, one of the most valued brands in the world, which produces Mikkel Borg Bjergsø. It has recruited as partners in this Viking voyage to own Thomas Rohde and Jacob Alsing, aspiring to follow in the footsteps of Alan Simonsen, Michael Laudrup and chain stores gossip various Tiger, perhaps along with shortbread and chair Jacobsen The roof of knowledge of contemporary world for the average Danish Catalan.

The three -Mikkel, Thomas and Jacob have been friends since childhood but have followed very different paths. Alsing, for example, was an army officer in Afghanistan and even served for a few months. The beer has gathered, is a sacred liquid in Denmark, a country where Carlsberg, a brewer, is the fourth most powerful company, it rubs shoulders with the banks (and certainly is much nicer). “Share, family, help, that’s all very Danish”, says Rohde.

Hundreds of varieties

Mikkel is a “master” of hops, barley, aromas and imaginative preparations. It has developed hundreds of varieties and some exceptional creations can cost one hundred euros. For some potions distributes select the two best restaurants in the world, El Celler de Can Roca and Noma, whose menus for specialty beers has conceived. But, says Rohde, ‘do not panic’ in the local Eixample prices will be “fit for every budget.”

Mathematician and physicist by training, Mikkel has a personal history with their point of bitterness. Evil Twin, besides being a Korean horror film, a song by Arctic Monkeys and other Eminem, is the brewer Jeppe Jarnit Bjergsø: evil twin. Jeppe and Mikkel brothers are identical twins and, to put it mildly and not digress, long a beer together, a “cainismo “the Danish press has stretched often does not take. Jeppe, as his clone, is obsessed with this drink, but everyone is on his own. Mikkel lives in Copenhagen, Jeppe in Brooklyn.

In a report published in The New York Times on these two ill-assorted geniuses, Jeppe recounted a revealing anecdote: “We were born two minutes apart. I was supposed to check out, but it was misplaced and had to perform a caesarean, so he ran out first. I like to say that my brother gave me problems even before birth. ” Its high sense of competitiveness was kindled during his childhood years when they went to athletes and fought races as if they were living. And adults, Mikkel opened its first brewery in the basement of Copenhagen. Some time later, Jeppe was established with an identical business next door.

Mikkel will spend these days in Barcelona, ​​assisting in the birth of her new baby (already seven other bars all over the world). For the opening on Friday, his friend Thomas throws a hook or Abdul Jabbar: “There will be 500 free beers!”.
