In this episode, we talk to Carme Ruscalleda, a world-renowned Michelin star chef,  and learn about local cuisine and her favorite culinary experiences in the city.

We talk culture with historian Dani Cortijo, and learn how the city transformed after the 1992 Olympics and why Catalans celebrate a 'pooping log' instead of Santa Claus (true story!).

We learn about Barcelona’s exceptional architecture and urban planning with Bruno from architecture blog - Fourth Wall.

And since food in Barcelona is just incredible, we doubled down on gastronomy this time by interviewing Angelo Duarte Scirocco, the winner of the San Pellegrino Young Chef, about the differences between Catalan and Spanish cuisine, and why local ingredients are so special.
