Gastroludic experiences with The Bonfire, luxury Mediterranean-style tapas and signature cocktails at the Salt Restaurant and Salt Beach Club or astrology-inspired mixology at its Eclipse skybar are some of the proposals at W Barcelona, the flagship of W Hotels around the world and part of the Marriott International group.
Novelties such as the VIP Cabanas, its famous Wet Deck Summer Series and activities such as learning to fly with a foil, pilates, yoga, animal flow or stand up paddle (always with the best teachers) bring to life the passions that make up the hotel's DNA. That is, music, sports, culture and design.
The Fire, the hotel's main restaurant, has already moved to the Wet Deck terrace, giving way to The Bonfire, with its menu where fire, embers and other ancient techniques set the tone. Meanwhile, at the Salt Beach Club, the perfect duo of Mediterranean cocktails and tapas are presented, while at Eclipse, the luxurious Sky Lounge

This is how I create this characteristic technique that he has perfected throughout his career. With it he creates energetic grooves of pigment that can be read as close-ups that give action and materiality to his paintings.
But his proposal is very varied, ranging from sculptural reliefs with strident superimposed crests to fine glazed behind which the metal background can be guessed.
Unique, special and custom designed (or redesigned) motorcycles is the raison d'être of Niks Motorcycles. It is the proposal of Nicos Marquès (founder and CEO) and his environment, completely passionate about two wheels, which began as a particular hobby and has ended up becoming one of the best places for customization and restoration.
Starting from the simplest to the most complex transformations, and encompassing different trends, from a high-performance café racer to the restoration of a classic motorcycle, they have become a benchmark in the sector.
The idea is to turn the driving experience into a revival with the use and routine maintenance of vintage motorcycles. A job that comes powerfully close to excellence after more than ten years of experience combined with industrial design studies, competition mechanics and metallurgy and body work that has seduced all those who, like them, are in love with vintage motorcycles.
