The Crush

 The famous rock singer Jem is attending  to the Barcelona 080 fashion show to get inspiration for outfits to wear in the stage

 She likes to arrive early to find the best place to have a good view over the catwalk

the show starts!!!

As we already know, Rio Pacheco likes to attend to the fashion shows,

but this time he arrives too late...

 He has to watch the show from the backstage, just behind the biggest guys you can imagine!

 When the show ends, the outdoor party starts!

Rio and Jem meet in the bank counter queueing for a drink... 

It's obvious they have lots of things in common: 

you just have to look the way they dress!

 They can't stop talking,

it seems as they had known each other for years!

 They even share a ride on a pink flamingo

 and they sit by the pond to enjoy the views of the city...

 and finally...

The rest of the world just disappears!!!

Is this the beginning of a big true love story or just a temporary crush?

If you want to remember the arrival of Rio to Barcelona, go to Barcelona 080

To revisit the first days of Rio in the city, just go to: Rio Pacheco in Barcelona

Rio Pacheco in Barcelona

After attending to the 080 fashion show

Rio Pacheco decides to stay a couple of days in Barcelona to practice his favourite vice: 

tourism

From the terrasse of his hotel room he enjoys the views of an Eixample patio while he tastes the local beer and decides the tour of the day

Rio combines the most huge and typical buildings

with the most narrow and unknown streets...

 ...artistic activities like alternative film making

with cultural visits like the Futbol Club Barcelona Museum

And, of course, he cannot miss the most famous street of Barcelona; Les Rambles!

Here he can find high quality performances,

super fasion shops

tasteful souvenirs

and the best food of the city...

at the most competitive prices!

But what is this???

I knew where the ball was!  This looks really easy!

I am going to win a lot of money!

But things are never so easy and clear as they look,

specially in a beautiful city full of tourists like Barcelona...

But he does not despair!

He has read in his guide  that the Maremagnum is the best shopping and entertaining center in town...

It's true! good products at good prices!

The seaside is perfect for a young couple in love...

I only wish I had somebody to share this open skyline view of the mediterranean sea

TO BE CONTINUED...

Barcelona 080

 Rio Pacheco has flown specially from the US to Barcelona to asist to the 080 Fashion

 He's conviced that he'll be the star of the show, all the lights will shine on him..

 But nobody welcomes him as he expected, he has to queue like all common people

Once inside, he likes the ceilling... very eighties, Jem and the Holograms would love it!

The show starts... it's great!

 Well, finally people begins to look at him and one journalist has noticed him...

 But the show ends and he's still alone...

  I'll grab a beer and walk around. I'm sure that now that lights are on people will recognize me!

They are so shy these european fashion people...

 Nobody talks to him, they just look and seem astonished!

Blue, alone and jetlagged. He needs to rest for a while...

But Rio doesn't give up! He has to find somebody to talk to!

And finally... Yes!!! The best friends he could ever make!
