Ilustração Voadora
By Mark Dix
A Casa Portuguesa thinks outside the box. Since their early days in their charming café on Verdi (RIP) to their present home on Aragó, they have always attempted to add cultural events to their excellent repertoire of Portuguese gastronomy. Photography, live music, wine tasting and live football all have their space at the ample venue in l’Eixample, always with a denominação de origem from the other part of the Iberian Pensinsula.
This Sunday might be their most ambitious project yet, as they team up with the Bicicleta Voadora blog to present this two-wheeled route around several exhibitions at various venues around the city, starting at the workshop of Monsieur Vélo in Gràcia, passing by a number of tasteful spaces such as Cosmo, Laser, Demasie and Mucha Fibre, before crossing the finish line at 4pm at Aragó, 111 for refreshments, live music and selectors. I hope they have enough parking space!
