Run Run Run

Regardless of whether the current year has been good or bad, in Barcelona, on December 31st, we run.

Doesn’t matter if we pheraps run away from something: the point is we run toward the New Year, the new projects and the changes.

This traditional sporting event in December is called Cursa dels Nassos, which it means The Running of the Noises, and provides a path of 10 km in the city to finish in 1h30.

Begun in 1999, the New Year's Eve race reached this year a record of participants, closing entries already some days ago and comprises the 10,000 runners that the regulation provides.

Among them, important names of athletes who won other competitions. Increasing the number of ladies, even if it does not reach yet the 30%.

Great participation of charities who take advantage of popular event to fund humanitarian projects against world hunger.

Nassos-Barcelona

The races starts on Selva de Mar Street with two starting times. The first will take place at 5:30pm and the second approximately 5 minutes later. The real time of each runner will be taken into account in the final classification of each category. The race route will be duly signalled out and marked at each kilometre. There will be a water station at kilometre 5.

More than 20 years ago, the Lush company was founded. They kept themselves as primarily concerned the development of its products with natural ingredients.

Today Lush has more than 700 stores in 46 countries. Still they remain faithful to their natural products and their honest way of working.

So there are no products purchased from companies that are tested on animals and they use minimal or no preservatives or packaging materials.

The directors of Lush still develop all products and scents by themselves. They especially use the best ingredients, think of real jasmine, which is even more expensive than gold!

All products are hand made​​. Even if the company is expanding they only accept new people instead of machines. Everything to stay as close as possible to the customer and the product.

Bar Cock is a statement in the party industrie in Madrid. This bar breahts culture, class and elegance and has a beautiful interior.

Maybe it takes some effort to find this special bar, because Bar Cock is located in an alley hidden between the Chueca and the famous Gran Via. But when you found it is definitely worth.

bar-cock2

It's an old bar that was opened in the autumn of 1921. Since then the bar has been developed,  plenty of things had happened. There was a secret passage that once connected two bars. Through this passage men could spending some time with their lovers.

Some people said that Ava Gardner used this passage to escape from Frank Sinatra and so have the possibility to look for new adventures.

Several artists have donated their original works to Bar Cock. The "gallo" (cock) was an important theme. A detail that you find frequently in the presentation and layout of the bar.

Despite the many original furnishings, romantic stories and nice details the bar is definitely not old-fashioned. Bar Cock tries to attempt the history and tradition but also they go along with the time. There came often several DJ´s who provides pleasant (background) music.

Above all Bar Cock is known for its delicious cocktails. Think of a gin fizz, Daiquiri, Whisky Sour and the popular Kir Royale. Lovely cocktails to drink in the bar or, when the sun shines, at the terrace.
