The Barcelona Community had a great evening at Gran Foc.

Special thanks to our Local Ambassador Daniela Arens for taking the photos.

A selected group of about 40 InterNations members from the Barcelona Community had the excellent opportunity to participate in an elegant dinner sponsored by the world-famous Moët & Chandon champagne brand. Together with Ambassadors Daniela Arens and Ineke Ibbeken, they gathered at the local Hotel ME for an evening of culinary delights. On this special occasion, they could revel in a four-course meal including such specialities as spiced avocado canapés, lamb in pumpkin sauce or white chocolate soufflée; and, of course, they could toast their convivial gathering with various sorts of sparkling wine.

Or, at least, made for Movie Restaurant and Bar: The November Get-Together organized by our Ambassadors Daniela Arens and Ineke Ibbeken proved so widely popular in advance that the guestlist had to be closed over one week before the event. Last Thursday night, on the evening of November 6, over 120 InterNations members then flocked to the fashionable venue with its sophisticated Italian cuisine, its vintage-movie interior and its comfortable lounge sofas, smiling into the camera Hollywood-style…

The response to Daniela Arens’s invitation to the September event in Barcelona was so overwhelming that our Ambassador had to close down the guest list two days before the monthly Get-Together; or, to put it in her own words, “they wouldn’t even have been able to breathe anymore”. The Ars Lounge – a chill-out club with Mediterranean-inspired design – holds about 120 people at the utmost, so it was rather crowded with a motley crew of expats from Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, the UK, Germany, India, Peru, France, Italy, the US, Sweden, Argentina, Latvia, Romania, Belgium, Poland, Malaysia, Norway, Chile, South Korea, the Netherlands, and even a few visitors from one of our Swiss communities, including Geneva Ambassador Alexander Vierheilig. ‚Enhorabona i salut!‘ for such a marvellous event!
