All Saints Day: chesnuts & panellets

All Saints is a time to remember those no longer with us, but it also marks the start of a new cycle in Nature, with trees losing their leaves and fields bare after the harvest of summer.

It is a time to celebrate with the popular tradition of eating chestnuts and panellets, the marzipan cakes (sweet potatoes) typical of Catalonia. In Barcelona there are castanyades, chestnuts for the general public, as well as stands on the streets selling them. The classic panellets are with pine nut, almond, potato, sugar, egg and lemon peel. But others contain strawberry, coconut, more lemon, green tea, coffee, and anything else imaginable.

Chestnuts are also an important part of the festivals, typical in autumn, lovely to eat warm with the arrival cold weather. And there’s also sweet potato. And all to be enjoyed with a little sweet wine.

Time to share with the family, around a table full of special delicacies.

We suggest you our special promotion during this special Festivity and autumn time!

B-Hotel: a relaxed 5* experience

We stayed in the B-Hotel from the 7th to 9th August - couldn’t fault anything about this hotel.  The first impression was excellent & staff were simply superb - their help & suggestions ensured that we experienced the real Barcelona (instead of the usual ready made tourist areas).

The location of the hotel was excellent - close to the tour bus stop, aerobus stop and fantastic sights including the Palace, fountains & Bull Ring (was also close enough - but far enough away from the Ramblas - if you know what I mean!).

The facilities, including the impressive pool (& view!) was a delight - nice way to relax after travelling around Barcelona. Everything about our stay was perfect (apart from the fact that Barcelona were playing in USA) - we will be back at some stage and will certainly be back to the B-Hotel!

Easily a relaxed 5* experience!

Hotel Barcelona Universal review

Had five days at the Barcelona Universal in early July 2009.  On arrival we asked for a quiet room and they obliged.  The staff were very friendly.  The room was clean and spacious.  The hotel was central for the Ramblas and harbour area and was very close to the Metro. We would definately use it again.  There were plenty of cafes across the road for breakfast.  Try the Dino pan.  For evening meals try the Bella La Napoli on Margarit and La Bodegueta on Carre De Blai very close by in Poble Sec.

The Jazz Century exhibition at CCCB

Jazz, together with film and rock, was one of the most foremost artistic happenings of the 20th Century. This exhibition offers an across-the-board reading of its complex history, based on a chronological structure providing a narrative thread that follows a timeline marking the main events in the history of jazz.

The exhibition “The Jazz Century”, on at the CCCB, gives a chronological review of the relationship between jazz and other disciplines. So, the exhibition demonstrates the influence of jazz on the works of Picabia, Man Ray and Mondrian as well as the creation of its own set of aesthetics based on covers, concert programmes and other publicity material.

Where: Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB)
c/ Montalegre, 5     www.cccb.org
When: from July 21st to October 18th

NN Hotels offers you a special package: Discover Barcelona at the rythm of Jazz, including a 2-nights stay at the Jazz Corner JR Suite and free admission & one drink at the Bel-luna Jazz Club. Click here for more details.
