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.

I've been reminded recently that I haven't blogged a lot in the last month. I did forget one big event - The 10th anniversary party for Comcerç 24 at the W Hotel.Lee and I are regulars at Tapas 24, the tapas bar Carles Abellan owns in our neighborhood. We're there at least once a week and know most of the staff. A few weeks ago Lee got a call from our friend that works there, Sham, inviting us to this party. The day of the party came, and we never got an invitation. Luckily, our names were on a special list. It was amazing.

The party started at 8pm and took place on the deck of the W overlooking the Med. There were countless food and drink stations set up serving some Tapas/Comerç standards (McFoie burgers, Callos, plates of Jamon, Bikinis) plus a few raw bars, a wonderful cheese bar, amazing giant paellas, passed plates, grilled sausages, a salad station, a Moritz tap, a huge wine bar, and three cocktail bars.


Lee and I were in heaven. For dessert, they brought out a giant table surrounded by a sheet attached to balloons. They removed the weights on the sheet, and the whole thing floated away with the sheet to reveal a beautiful spread of pastries set up to look like a giant birthday cake. I´ll post pics of this later. All in all it was a fantastic party. Thanks to Susana and Sham for hooking us up!
