Enjoy and discover the Vicky Cristina Barcelona movie placements

As you may know, the latest Woody Allen film has been awarded and recognized worldwide and has become the definitive opportunity for Penelope Cruz, who has won an Oscar for her character in this movie. The movie has been produced in Barcelona and also in Oviedo (Asturias, north of Spain).
In LiveBarcelona we know that events like this generate a lot of interest and some clients and friends suggested us to design a special tour in which we can show the main locations that appear in this famous movie. We have done it in the past with bestsellers like “La sombra del viento” or “El juego del angel” of Carlos Ruiz Zafón www.carlosruizzafon.com both taking place in Barcelona and we have adapted the same idea for the Vicky Cristina Barcelona movie www.vickycristinabarcelonalapelicula.es In this special tour, we will be able to visit the most important places like the Arts Hotel, the Barcelona Harbour and specially the “Moll de la Marina” where there is an scene just in front of the “Peix d’Or” (the golden fish statue of Mr. Frank Gehry), the “Paseo Marítimo”, the “Barceloneta restaurant”, the “Paseo Colón” (with the statue of Columbus), the “Vía Layetana”, the “Pedrera Gaudi’s building”, the “Ramblas” (just between the Hospital and Carmen streets) and the modernist restaurant “Els quatre Gats” www.4gats.com as some of the interesting places you could visit in this special tour. We hope you will find it interesting!!
