This year marks the 125th anniversary of the opening of the Tibidabo Amusement Park, a project born from the desire to bring the mountains closer to the public. To celebrate this anniversary of the dream conceived by Dr. Salvador Andreu and other prominent figures from Barcelona, ​​the park has planned a season full of events and activities. The program kicks off this Saturday, February 28th, with the presentation of one of the gifts Tibidabo will offer a new panoramic view of the Catalan capital.

Chef Rafa Zafra, of the restaurants Estimar (in Barcelona's Born district) and Amar (inside the Hotel Palace), will open a restaurant in June inside the Tibidabo amusement park after winning the city's competition. It's believed that this could be the highest restaurant in Barcelona. "Right now I don't even know what I'm going to call it, but we're very happy with the project because I want to give back to Barcelona everything it has given me," says a delighted Zafra. The restaurant will have a prime location, with views across Barcelona, ​​and the chef's concept is based on a philosophy: "That children learn to eat like adults, and that parents become like children again." This is the idea he's working with, but construction is currently underway. "We have three months of work planned, but I expect it will be ready in three and a half months," says the Seville-born chef.

"Nothing in my life can be harder than the sadness I felt, and that comforts me in the midst of chaos," Mark Bruce, a Scotsman who has been working as a music teacher at a Glasgow secondary school for 34 years, tells ARA. "I was a very overweight person. I weighed up to 105 kilos, I was unhappy with an addiction problem," he recalls. "In September 2022 I thought I would lose my life to alcohol and depression. But at that moment I made the decision to fight for myself."
