A graceful terrace

A terrace with grace is an initiative that transforms positivity into pop-up events where mixing and creativity are encouraged among young people. A project that aims to extend to all the terraces, rooftops and rooftops in the city of Barcelona.

This is a reactive project to the current dire economic situation. Cristina and Miriam said: "In bad weather, good luck", and the result is A graceful terracean initiative that transforms their positivism into pop-up events where the mixing and creativity among young people.

It all started on a beautiful terrace in the Gràcia neighbourhood, in Cris's current flat. Short of money, they had their own parties at home, and they saw that it wasn't bad at all. This familiar and relaxed environment was conducive to the birth of collaborations and the exchange of experiences in a much more spontaneous way.

What is A graceful terraceAnything you want it to be," says Miri. "We'd love to see a creative economy emerge from here that would get us young people out of the crisis," confesses Cris. With privileged views of Tibidabo, today its terrace hosts all kinds of events, from dinners, workshops or open-air cinema, to private parties or gin and tonic tastings. "Everything has a place, as long as it's done with grace", they tell us.

At the end of July we snuck into the Gins&Sushiits first afterwork. Successful attendance, gintonics from Rafa Murillo (Cris's friend and bartender at the Bar à Vins), exquisite sushi by Sushifresh and a lot of jazz in the background for a very hot afternoon. It was a success. But one with a lot of grace.
