		<description><![CDATA[Montjuïc cemetery publishes a little map which, interested in historical renown, guides you past the generally terribly tedious tombs of well-known Barcelona citizens (good, bad, ugly) and thus omits the quite extraordinary artistic achievements of some of its less well-documented residents. Here is one of the finest funeral monuments, built by people who have clearly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brief for Barcelona council
Eduardo Chillida sold us a &#8220;sculpture&#8221; called In praise of water/Elogi de l&#8217;aigua/Elogio del agua. In fact it is clearly nothing of the kind.
