¿Alguien se cree que tener una casa en la Toscana, otra en el lago Como, la de Aspen para esquiar y la de…, es un lujo? pues no. Una casa necesita cuidados, que se ocupen de ella y eso en lo que se convierte es en una trituradora de dinero, eso no se puede sostener aunque matemáticamente te lo puedas permitir. ¿Alguien puede entender que uno se vaya de casa y deje todas las luces encendidas y el grifo de la ducha abierto? pues tampoco. El derroche de agua y el gasto salvaje de energía nos insulta a todos. Y por último, ¿alguien entiende cómo se puede vivir gastando más de lo que se gana? pues definitivamente no. De esos barros, estos lodos. Hemos vivido demasiado tiempo en [click to continue…]
One of my favorite games as a child was to discover buried treasure. Of course, you needed a gang of like-minded ‘mates a couple of spades… and a treasure map! Before you knew knew it, we’d dug up half the garden and half the lovely old lady nextdoor’s garden too. The time we got really lucky, we dug up a couple of worms, and kept them to go “fishing” the next day.
Flash back to reality… now that we are all grown up, the romance of the treasure hunt remains entrenched in our hearts. So what better way to pay tribute to our childhood memories than by creating a treasure map of our own?
So we at bizFlats did just that, we created a map with all our properties on it so you can quickly find an apartment in your favorite area of Barcelona. It’s still in beta, so if you see anything strange happenning, be assured we’ll work to sort it out. Have a look at the map below
The new bizFlats Map View
Pinpoint your exact requirements
You can add and remove the apartments in any area of Barcelona. Likewise, you can add and remove the types of apartments most suitable to your requirements. Then click on a property’s icon on the map itself to get the vital statistics and a picture in the nifty little bubble.
Atop the map you can see a list of apartments too, which is especially useful when you seek out multiple apartments for a big group, all in one location.
Toggle to your heart’s content
Now you can see your chosen apartments either on a list – the traditional way – or on the map. When you include the dates of arrival and departure you’ll get the prices too. So just click the tabs at the top and toggle back and forth as much as you like. Soon, we’ll add a synchronization so if you make a change to the list, you’ll update the map and vice versa.
The treasure of a lovely stay in Barcelona is right here waiting for you to find it.
Do you have suggestions on how to make the map tool even better? Is there a particularly useful tool you have found on another website that you’d like to share? Tell us in the comments below

Estaba siendo un día de perros, de esos en los que no para de sonar el teléfono, el tráfico te asfixia, reuniones, visitas, unos zapatos que me estaban matando… en fin un día de estrés de los de no te menees. Decido que me voy a casa, que ya está bien de tanto maltrato al cuerpo y después de ochocientas vueltas por fin encuentro un sitio para aparcar los caballos, aunque claro, a varias cuadras de casa.
“De inspiración romántica por la ordenación de sus zonas ajardinadas y las especies vegetales utilizadas”
La viva imagen del desmayo, eso era yo. Iba por la calle como un autómata; por la Diagonal hacia Francesc Macià.
Me miraba en todos los escaparates de las tiendas, siempre lo hago como un insignificante acto de vanidad, pero ésta vez no me gustaba nada el reflejo del cristal, aunque no por eso dejaba de hacerlo… ¿masoquismo? no, esperanza… ¡quizá en la tienda de la esquina!…
“Está considerado como un oasis verde en pleno casco urbano”
Encarando la Avenida Pau Casals, el ruido del tráfico por lo menos ya no me machaca los oídos. Es un bulevar con subidita, pero casi ni lo noto. Voy pensando en mis cosas y estoy tan en babia que cruzando el paso de cebra entre Bori i Fontestá y Tenor Viñas, un pseudo juvenil furgonetero ideal de la muerte, [click to continue…]
A tranquil picture of me and Simona sipping a mojito at terrace of Taverna del Born on Sunday afternoon. Red shiny Vespas and cool kids on vintage bikes pass by. Pensioners play chess in the shadow of the Passeig’s trees and a cute Jack Russell terrier is sniffing my toes, searching for his owner.
Born is charming. There is a bohemian coterie of designers, artists and just fashion lovers who reside in cosy apartments and lofts.
