Catherine Hart

Catherine Hart: A former teacher, she rang her own school for eight years before setting up the website: streets-of-barcelona.com.

Barcelona
Catherine Hart choose St. Pau to live because she saw that's a great area, and because there are a very friendly people. She says that the shops and the restaurant are very different from the Eixample, and she think that's because it has a special charm and is very old-fashioned with local shops in the same hand since the civil war.
Nowadays she has a shop of flowers.
She came to Barcelona at the end of 1978 and then she didn't speak Spanish or Catalan and she felt very foreign.
The only thing she would change is the constant noise of there.
She thinks that the hospital, which started building in 1902 thanks to a generous
donation from Pau Gil i Serra, is a fine example of Catalan Modernism.
