Lola Anglada - a woman wtiter and illustrator

Lola Anglada i Sarriera (Barcelona, 1893- Tiana (Maresme), 1984) was a catalan writer and illustrator.

She was born in 1893 in Barcelona, in a family with strong roots in the population of Tiana. She studied in La Llotja de Barcelona with Joan Llaverias and Antoni Utrillo. At the end of WWI she traveled to Paris thanks to a scholarship of the French Government, collaborating with several publishing companies of the French capital, where she correlated with Francesc Macià or Josep Clarà.
Compromised with the democratic values and the catalanist cause, she organized a request of amnesty for the accused of participating in the Plot of Garraf against the king Alfons XIII of Spain.

Her early literary works were for children. As an illustrator, she worked with a number of children's magazines, for example En Jordi, En Patufet, La Nuri and La Mainada. Before the civil war Lola Anglada published books of stories illustrated by herself and these were very popular. Among these books are Monsenyor Llandardaix, (Monsignor Llandardaix) and En Peret i Margarida (Peret and Margarida). After the war she continued to write and illustrate books like En Martinet (Little Martin), La Barcelona dels nostres avis (The Barcelona of our Grandparents) and La meva casa i el meu jardi (My House and My Garden). She also accumulated an impressive collection of dolls, which can now be seen in the Romantic Museum in Sitges. Lola Anglada died in Tiana in 1984.

Gran Café (Monday evening 14-4-08)

Ever wish you could travel back in time, to the grand old cafés of the modernist age, where writers, artists and intellectuals gathered to swap stories?

In Barcelona we can!!! The Greek students and teachers all together in Gran Café !

In Gran Café the private dining room on the mezzanine is very popular amongst local politicians and actors (the restaurant is close to both the seats of local and regional government and the theatres and opera along the Ramblas), who often gather here for private dinners.

This room is furnished with an enormous, oval table and a gorgeous, gilt-framed mirror. It seats 18+ people and is a very classy room for small group events.

St. Jordi's day in Barcelona

The 23rd of April is here. Today we are in Athens, but if we would be in Barcelona we should participate in the St. Jordi's day (it is a bit like Valentine's Day with a twist). This day the boys offer their girls red roses and the girls their boys a book.

The part of offering roses can be traced back to the middle age where Saint George saved his beloved princess by killing a dragon. He took his sword and stabbed it into the dragon's heart. Instead of blood, a red rose came out of the dragon's heart.

The tradition of giving books to the boys was introduced by a bookseller in 1923, who promoted the day to honor the deaths of Miguel Cervantes and William Shakespeare, both also on the April 23.

(all the above had been said by our beloved Angueliki, the teacher of Greek and Latin language of Joan Maragall)

The Greek students in Barcelona

Barcelona!

What a beautiful city...

We would like to travel there again and again... We wish...

Me gusta mucho la composicion con la unica ola rompiendo o mas bien onda tipica de la calma chicha, dandole una perspectiva aun mas potente a la linea de agua, bonitos colores tambien... Buen trabajo de todos modos!
