Hostel Territory

So we've set off to Barcelona to live the dream and open our very own hostel. We're keeping this journal online to keep everyone updated of our progress, adventures and mishaps navigating Barcelona's booming tourism industry, Spanish bureaucracy, and daily life in Catalunya.

Barcelona is a city full of history. Every building has a story. Every apartment has its past. And so does our place. Believe it or not, our future hostel will be on the site of a former brothel. That's right - red painted lights, intercoms to every bedroom - a full on brothel. That bodes well.

Everything seems to be coming along nicely though. Our architect, Paul, spent a few hours in the place today looking everything over. He's come up with preliminary blueprints. I took some photos that I'll post later on.

    I don't understand why brothel goers or workers would need intercoms. It seems like the industry that would require the least equipment out there. Except the bum industry. Thats just bum, not B.U.M. Or is it for, "Time's up buddy."
    Sorry Janet.
