Hola. A finales de Julio y principios de Agosto voy a estar por Gerona/Barcelona y quisiera saber qué tiendas hay por allí que se puedan visitar. También quería pasarme por el Alpha Ares de visita, si es posible. ¿Hay algo de interés wargamero para visitar por la zona?. Gracias y un saludo. |

I don't know of any stores, but enjoy the Gaudi architecture.

¡Hola! En una primera aproximación, se me ocurren tres tiendas de visita inexcusable, todas ellas en Barcelona: - Llibreria Gigamesh, Ronda Sant Pere 53 (08010 Barcelona). Librería especializada en ciencia ficción y fantasía, pero con un notable apartado dedicado a las revistas y libros de temática bélica más frecuentemente consultados por aficionados al wargame. Cuenta con una sección de juegos (rol, tablero y miniaturas, generalmente Essex y Corvus Belli). Muy cerca cuenta con un par de tiendas "filiales", una dedicada a juegos de cartas, y la otra a Axis & Allies, HeroClix y demás. - Central de Jocs, c/. Numància 112 (08029 Barcelona). Veteranísima tienda de corte "clásico", exclusivamente dedicada a juegos (rol, tablero y miniaturas). Especializada en bélicos de tablero, y en cuanto a miniaturas, 2ª Guerra Mundial (Flames of War y homólogos). - Campaign Game Miniatures, c/. Comte Borrell 118, 5º 1ª (08015 Barcelona). No es exactamente una tienda, sino el domicilio de Dermot Quigley y su esposa Marta Huercio, desde donde ejercen su actividad comercial de venta de miniaturas (amplio surtido) y complementos para wargame. Es preferible telefonearles previamente al +34 934545883 (¡a fin de cuentas, es su casa!). ¡Saludos! Lluís

Muchísimas gracias Lluìs. Me pasaré por los sitios que me señalas, a Dermot le conocí en las jornadas del 2 de Mayo y las otras dos me suenan de los años lejanos del Rol.  Nyc, didn't knew you understood Spanish, mate. I'm going to be in Ampurias, an important ruin of an old Greek and Roman city and in case you like art, it's also very close to Figueres, where Dalí lived and it's his museum. |

Palafox: It's hard not to live in NYC and not know some Spanish. I'm terrible at conversation but after working at an international law firm for a few years you learn to read a fair bit. I was in Barcelona a few years ago, but never made it to Ampurias. It sounds beautiful. I love Spain and have been there several times. The first time I travelled from Paris to Madrid and then down to Algeciras and took the ferry to Morocco. It was a wonderful experience to see the changing landscape. I was an art history major so the museums in Madrid were very special to me. Have a blast in Barcelona! Just on an aside, my former colleague was from Barcelona and lived there his entire life. He was so Catelonian that when I asked him if he had any recommendations for my next trip to Madrid he wriggled up his nose and said, "I've never been to Madrid, why would I want to go there?" He was from a wealthy Catelonian family and had travelled all over the world, but not to Madrid. I thought that was very sad. |
