Last weekend saw the return to Barcelona of thousands of Harley Davidson’s, following the sucess of the centenary event in 2005. Bikers arrived in their masses to get together, show off, learn and ride, and the Barcelona summer days were filled with the roar of exhausts.

Just back from eating a great Indian chicken curry recipe at Restaurante Namaste in Barcelona with Dan. Almost went to the wrong restaurant as there are 2 of the same name and only one shows up in Google, but we talked to the owner at the end about his website which turns out not to [...]
