Argentona has a street with two names. It's not that the street changes name because of its length. Passeig de la República has the exact same location as Passeig del Baró de Viver. Needless to say, this causes headaches for delivery drivers who have to deliver packages to residents who live there. But this isn't the reason that led the Heritage Councilor to eliminate this duplication, a move that has opened a can of worms for the Maresme municipality.

It's early Friday afternoon, and the two dining rooms at Racó d'en Binu, in Argentona, are set with a good group of tables with immaculate white tablecloths, two glasses (one for water and one for champagne, made of beautiful chiseled crystal) and silver plates and cutlery. The restaurant opened by Francesc Fortí and Francina Suriñach in 1970 has dressed up, and you can feel it in the way the five waiters move up and down the two rooms, the one in the lobby and the one inside, where the fireplace is lit. Today and until February 23, it is time to celebrate the great resistance of the Restaurant that refused to be awarded stars by the Michelin guide, and who makes the best dishes of French haute cuisine like no one else.
