  1. The colour of a dog running away sounds like an interesting read. I vote Dog. Do I get a vote?

  3. Kali, Chris is a sucker for anything set in Barcelona for some reason, and there are some funky places such as Plaça George Orwell there once you get off Las Ramblas. Vote away.

    John, "Runyon on Broadway" is a monument. Perhaps I subconsciously assume that everyone has read it.

  4. I've had an ongoing and evolving fantasy that my soul belongs in Barcelona since childhood. It's primal. I am properly intrigued and think I will read this one myself!

    Berenguer is the Spanish and Catalan form of the name. Berenguier/Berengier is the Occitan.

  8. So I try a little Freddie:

    Let the songs begin
    -Déjalo nacer
    Let the music play
    -Ahhhhhhhh...
    Make the voices sing
    -Nace un gran amor
    Start the celebration
    -Ven a mí
    And cry
    -Grita
    Come alive
    -Vive
    And shake the foundations from the skies
    Ah,Ah,Shaking all our lives

    Barcelona - Such a beautiful horizon
    Barcelona - Like a jewel in the sun
    Por ti seré gaviota de tu bella mar
    Barcelona - Suenan las campanas
    Barcelona - Abre tus puertas al mundo
    If God is willing
    -If God is willing
    If God is willing
    Friends until the end
    Viva - Barcelona
