LIFESTYLE ALEGRÍA

This year, as you know, we shot our Alegría collection next to Barcelona, in a small town called Sitgès.

The theme of the collection is Spanish culture, which we love, and we want to share our passion for it with you.

We decided to share our experience with you!

If you like this format, we can start again with the themes of our future collections.

You can also fill in the categories with your references, we are eager to know more about Spain, Catalonia and its unbeatable charm!

READING SIDE

For a reading moment, we suggest three books.

First of all "Don Quixotea classic. If you want to read a book about Spanish culture, you can't miss it!

"Like the loves" by Javier Marías is a crime novel set in Madrid, with a plot based on love and crime. The suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end! We let you discover...

Rosa Montero plunges us into a futuristic story, in the 22nd century. We loved the girl boss aspect with the heroine of the book who is a real warrior!

You can of course find all his books in French in bookshops!

SCREEN SIDE

Our favourite Spanish films/series!

The film "Las Niñas has won numerous awards. We are immersed in an important stage of life for all of us: adolescence. We highly recommend you watch it.

Then, in terms of the series, we couldn't miss "La Casa de Papel"which caused a huge stir! Now 4 seasons are out! In the office, we are looking forward to the fifth.

Finally, "Elite"It's the ultimate teenage show, but we love the little plots and gossip in it! The last season has just been released on Netflix. Have you seen it?

MUSIC SIDE

The first music, "Barcelona Nights with southern notes, is lively. It's typically the perfect music for an aperitif by the water with a sunset (and a cocktail)!

The second music, "Pareja del año has a much faster pace. We are fans of this one so we can dance! If you come to Barcelona you will hear it in the shops, it's everywhere!

Do you like it?

To end on a high note, the famous Colombian J. Balvin will put us in the mood with his reggaeton sound! His music is now a must at night!

ART SIDE

One cannot talk about Spanish culture without mentioning the fabulous Catalan artist, Joan Miró! He is considered a contemporary classic. Painter, sculptor, engraver and ceramist, he is one of the main representatives of the surrealist movement.

The first image is a photo of the work "Blue StarThe painting was made in 1927 and sold in Paris for more than 11 million euros!

In the background, you can see the work "Friendship" of the Madrid-based sculptor Miguel Guía. He creates works in bronze. He is influenced by the greatest, such as Pablo Picasso or Salvador Dali!

The last photograph is by Nicanor García, an architect and photographer from Barcelona. For him, photography allows architecture to come alive through perspectives, shapes... You can follow him on Instagram : @nicanorgarcia! His account is spectacular.

VISIT SIDE

We shot our collection on the Costa Brava, we're going to show you three cities we love! This is just a small part of Spain, if you have any tips for our next Spanish adventures, don't hesitate to tell us in comments!

In the first picture, we land in Cadaques, a nice little town, famous for Salvador Dali. You can visit this small town for one or two days by going to Compartir, the best restaurant in town.

Afterwards, we go to Bégur, with its many coves and small streets full of restaurants. A real postcard landscape!

Finally, we couldn't fail to mention Sitgès, the pretty little seaside town where the shoot took place! Close to Barcelona, it is a top destination for a little more peace and quiet. Historical centre, beaches, ports and museums, Sitgès is a city full of resources.

That's it for this cultural moment! We hope you enjoyed it.

We love to share with you all our backstage stories, inspirations and ideas. Don't hesitate to tell us more about your favourite artists, music, places...
