New season brings hope and euphoria

Oc­to­ber was both a cru­cial and in­tense month for Cat­alo­nia, which ended with the Par­lia­ment de­clar­ing the Cata­lan Re­pub­lic on Oc­to­ber 27. We re­flect the hope and eu­pho­ria this caused on this month’s front cover. In­side you will also find a sum­mary of the main events of the in­de­pen­dence process on pages 20-22. This his­toric mo­ment for the coun­try is far from re­solved and will no doubt go on for some time yet. In the com­ing months we will be sure to keep you in­formed of all the key de­vel­op­ments in the on­go­ing po­lit­i­cal cri­sis.

How­ever, it’s not all about pol­i­tics and this month we have some top rec­om­men­da­tions. Firstly, we focus on the new Andy Warhol ex­hi­bi­tion at Caix­afo­rum, a chance to see the work of a gen­uine 20th cen­tury icon. Then there is the Games of Thrones ex­hi­bi­tion that be­gins its world tour in Barcelona’s Mar­itime Mu­seum. If Game of Thrones is a re­minder that win­ter is com­ing, as the slo­gan of the TV se­ries has it, then it is also a time for cold weather food treats, such as roasted chest­nuts, sweet pota­toes, and the re­turn of the wild mush­room hunt­ing sea­son. You can find a bunch of food op­tions on pages 46-49. Enjoy the read and don’t for­get to send us feed­back. Until next month!
