A series that revives El Bulli and a song to listen to on loop: what you cannot miss this week

The week ahead, with Jordi Garrigós

Some of the things we hope not to miss in the next seven days

I will followGenesis, the new 3Cat series about El Bulli and the great revolution of Catalan cuisine and its star chefs. This fiction focuses on the trident formed by Ferran Adrià (Miquel Fernández), his brother Albert Adrià (Carlos Cuevas) and the key figure of Juli Soler (Ivan Massagué), three geniuses who, from their refuge in Cala Montjoi, became the vanguard of international cuisine.

I will readPajaritos preñados, the second novel by Andrea Abreu, who seven years ago revolutionized Spanish letters with her debut, Panza de burro. Published by Anagrama, her new book narrates the transition from childhood to adolescence of a girl living in a humble neighborhood in the north of Tenerife. Once again, Abreu returns to delve into precariousness, desire, and the transition to adult life through Canarian orality.

I will celebrate the thirty years of La Central, a true benchmark among Barcelona's bookstores. From its first location, the classic one on Mallorca Street, where the creaking of the wood thrills you with every step, through the great leap that was the opening in the Raval, and up to the new addition on Consell de Cent Street. It is the bookstore I will go to whenever I can, because everyone has a bookstore they feel is their own. And La Central is mine.

The week in review, with Thaïs Gutiérrez Vinyets

Notes on what we have seen, felt, tasted and, in short, lived in the last seven days

I have listened on loop to the new song by Guitarricadelafuente Nieve, which is part of the soundtrack for the film La bola negra, signed by the Javis. The singer, who also participates in the film as the lead actor, has explained that to write this track he was inspired by the last letter written by Federico García Lorca and tried to find in those words the necessary inspiration for the new song.

I bought the book Peyton Place, published by Blackie Books, a bestseller that in 1956 revolutionized United States society by portraying the apparently idyllic life of a New England town that, in reality, hid scandals, adulteries, abortions, or incest.

I ate at L'Italiano Perso, a small restaurant in the Putxet neighborhood, a very well-kept secret of this area of Barcelona. Here you will find top-tier Italian dishes at honest prices with a small but sufficient menu, where excellent desserts are not lacking.

I haven't been able to stop thinking that Alessandro Baricco will be in charge of the opening talk of the Biennial of Thought, which returns to Barcelona from October 13th to 18th. The Italian writer will talk about literature, music, and mystery in a session in which playwright Angélica Liddell will also participate, who will speak with writer Luna Miguel, and there will be a concert by Maria Jaume.
