What an absolutely beautiful polished jewel of a home! I can smell the cigars, hear the fire crackling as I explore this stunning multi-storied building on the Paseig de Gracias.I don’t have to imagine the lace curtains and the fine china.Bevelled windows, stained glass polished like jewels. The winter sun shines through casting doppels in mosaic tile corridors, each step drawing me further into a labyrinth of more design.

Concha
Walking up the wide, polished red stairs, I shake silvery sand off my bare feet. Waves break on the seashore in the distance, music plays from the bar at Royal’s. The sun is shining from a bright blue sky and a smattering of coconut trees sway gently. The old house has never looked prettier. Or more welcoming.
