Memories of Barcelona

Being a bit of a lover of photography, I was super-thrilled when a friend turned up for dinner last week with a book of photos by the Barcelona born photographers Xavier Miserachs Ribalta (1937 - 1998) and Colita (1940 - ) whose work I was not familiar with.

Called Memories de Barcelona (Lupita Books, Barcelona, 2008), the book is an anthology of Miserachs Ribalta and Colita´s work, featuring photographs taken between 1964 and 1975, when Barcelona was an altogether different city than it is now.
