Cala Mitjana, Menorca
1. In Bed: Simon's Cat (Simon Tofield). ** Crazy about cats, this is your paradise made comic. The book that compiles the vignettes of the nicest and most desperate cat on the net, is a delicacy to rest your mind and recognize your cats in this pussycat. Because if. ** We love them despite the high level of puñeterismo that they have inserted in their DNA.
two. In the bar: La Central de Callao (Postigo de San Martín 8, Madrid) This week drinks, between books. We settled in La Central de Callao, the third headquarters of this bookstore born in Barcelona. In line with its sisters, it points out ways: **a 1,200 m2 palace house that houses some 70,000 books, a gastronomic space (El Bistró) ** and an imminent cocktail bar (El Garito).
3. between frames: The exhibition ‘Antarctica (Stories from the South)’ by the artist Sebastian Beyro opens this afternoon at the Liebre Gallery (Avda. General Perón, 8 entrance by Comandante Zorita, Madrid), a space dedicated to contemporary art which, about to be one year old, has a 2012/2013 agenda full of risky and suggestive proposals. Starting at 8:00 p.m. today, we invite you to travel to the South Pole in good company (ice included).

4.**At the club: La Iguana** (c/ Churruca 14, Vigo) Good news for Galicians, better for him rock'n'roll . The mythical Iguana de Vigo reopens with force and going back to the origins: we forget the hits that we hear in almost any place to return to the essence. Now it is once again the 'Temple of Rock'. Or so we expect/demand.
5. In the table: ** Sa Taula ** (c/ Major, 2, Fornells). In the fishing village of Fornells - north coast of Minorca –, is this restaurant whose architecture is inspired by the island taulas. I plan on the terrace ? Taste your bluefin tuna leisurely, magnificent in point and size, with creamy guacamole.
6. On the road: cycle around the delicious island of Minorca And along the coast, of course: Cala Pilar, Binigaus or Cala Escorxada, Cala dels Morts... Like Robinson Crusoe, but on two wheels.
7. In the stadium: Rayo Vallecano-Real Madrid at the Teresa Rivero stadium. Sunday, September 23 at 9:30 p.m.
The XX
8. At the cinema: 'Shame' Steve McQueen . Because if. Because 'the fever is over' for the great protagonist of the film (we are referring, of course, to Michael Fassbender and something that cannot be detached: his... magic of him in front of the camera, of course). But we have remembered a lot about him after this GQ video. But what a great movie, what a great Carey Mulligan, what a great drama... what a great (no) shame.
9. On the Walkman: ** 'Coexists' ** from The XX . Fresh out of the oven, the second album by the beardless trio from London does not renounce the delicacy of whispers in some melodies to be enjoyed in shared twilight.
10. A neighborhood: Hornstull ( Stockholm ). West of Södermalm, home of the hipsters of the capital cum laude in modernity, a handful of alleys between Hornsgatan and Långholmsgatan are already making waves: vintage shops, rogue joints, neighborhood 'pelus' and multiracial neighbourhood.
eleven. In the conversation: Esperanza Aguirre retires from Politics, Santiago Carrillo dies . What will happen now with Madrid and with the presumably future successor of Aguirre, Ignacio González? On the other hand, the death of one of the great 'writers' of our history, also means the death of a thinking communist mind with a raised fist. Could they be signs? What is the Universe preparing for us? Without a doubt, a week that marks a turning point in the political history of our country.
