Last Sunday we decided to buy the annual ticket for the MACBA, the contemporary art museum of our city. Although the museum is definitely close to our hearts (more on that later) we haven’t recently visited as much as we used to. That’s why we have decided to change it this year by buying the annual access ticket, which for 15€ allows visiting both the permanent and the temporary exhibitions.
The museum opening was almost 20 years ago (we were not really interested in art back then ;P), giving a new big public space; a giant white structure that was like a breath of air in the packed rather stone gray colored city center. Since the first time I visited the museum I have that space strongly related with skateboarding, there is not a single day that skaters are not practicing their tricks. We mingled with them and took a few pictures; the more the merrier, right?
And now the exciting related news. Today I’m sharing my story about “How did you know (s)he was the one?” at the lovely Jane’s blog Always With Yoo. Along with four other sweet bloggers we participate with our short stories to celebrate Jane & Yangkyu’s 5th anniversary of marriage this next August. Thanks guys for letting us join your wonderful celebration, we love the Yoo family! ♥
Jump to Jane’s blog to read my short piece, if you already haven’t, and learn how important the MACBA is in our relationship.
The skater in my back had some good moves.
The structure combines white walls with big windows, and very rounded entrances.
This was Sunday lunch time, and I’m holding both my growling stomach and the cold temperature .
Ready to go inside.
The interior is spare and, of course, very white.
LOVE. Would that couple in the back have our same love affair with the museum? Hope so!
Don’t forget to read our love story at Always with Yoo today!

It is very touching that you told Yangkyu, it makes my day, thanks Jane! You guys can’t possibly get cuter (maybe Piri is but he is in a totally different league :p), we are lucky to have met you.

Lovely shots. You guys seriously made me tear up with your story on Jane’s blog. Stay adorable you crazy kids.
Aww Mariko, thanks a lot for your sweetness!! ♥ ♥
the only time i visited Barcelona i stayed at Raval in a friends house and everyday i walked across MACBA <3
Good memories!
Nice to have friends in el Raval! The Macba is indeed a very centric point of the neighborhood.
oh, I have fond memories of this museum. I’m sure you won’t regret having the annual pass.
Love to read that the Macba is part of the good memories of many people. I’m looking forward to our visits this year.
When I read your story over at, always with yoo, I was smiling ear to ear, how magical – you guys really are the sweetest :)
Thanks Fiona!!! Jane had a great idea, I have loved to read everyone’s story in the comments.
