Aurora, the owner, is a fashion editor at a local magazine. She has various original works of art created especially for her. We admire and appreciate them.
This original black and white photograph of the Christopher Columbus monument was taken among the fireworks during a Merce celebration.
Originally, we walked into a setup where our bedroom was the living room, and vice versa. But we switched the furniture. We like it this way so now we can wake up to the morning sun on weekends.
Outside our window is our laundry line, where we hang dry everything. Eleven a.m. is a good time to dry laundry because I can smell the freshly baked bread from the bakery on the ground floor. Below our laundry line is a tranquil view of the city. In the far-off distance to the very left, there are two towers which actually stand high on the shore of Barceloneta, Barcelona's beach.
Our very exposed wardrobe set, which must always look tidy. No hiding skeletons here.
The bathroom is modest but organized and functional.
My family made fun of the showers in Europe because they said some hotels offered 3 x 3 foot square stalls. I present our shower. I love ours because of its blue-toned, miniscule tiling.
We only have two doors in our pad. The front door and the bathroom door. A sheer curtain slides over to separate the living room from our bedroom.
Our entertainment center is equipped with a TV, DVD player, DVDs, games, crafts, and comics. We never get bored.
Our home office/creative center/daydreaming table.
We sit here to relax, use our laptops, or catch up on movies and DVDs. With Fernando, the latter is a neverending task.
Our tiny place is just big enough for the two of us. Before Baby Ruiz Ancheta comes mid-June, we'll have to transfer to a roomier pad for three!
From this small plaza below, the castle stands high atop in the background.
