Setting the Record Straight

Everyone almost knows that the best place to meet-up with your family and friends whom you have conveniently strayed from is la plaça Catalunya.

But wait!! Today I spare you the traditional blah-blah-blah.

Yes! It's a place where couples of all genders and ages snuggle, almost aping the white statue.

Yes! It’s adjacent to la Rambla and just a 15 minute walk down to the Mediterranean Sea.

Yes! It's surrounded by the Hard Rock Cafe, Burger King and department stores.

Setting the Record Straight

plaça Catalunya, 2007

But, the white statue of a woman in the photo is called "la Deessa" by Josep Clarà.

The heavy-duty structure to the right in the photo is the monument to Francesc Macià (first president of Catalunya) by Josep Maria Subirachs.

I mention this because some bloggers and flickrites have credited Josep Llimona as the sculptor.

Today I set the record straight.
