Hello ladies and gentlemen's.
I'm congratulated to present an special meeting in the 1888's Barcelona. It will be the next 7th February, at 10 o'clock of mourning -if not, it will be at 11 o'clock.

In 1888 there was an Universal Exposition in Barcelona. For this evenement, a new place was remodelated: the Parc of Ciutadella.
As I think it's so long all the history of the zone were was built, but I resum.
There are a Triomph Arch which welcome the visitor... Inside, you can see some builts like the presents Geology and Zoology -with old collections of dissected animals- Museums in neogothic and classical styles, an "victorian style" greenhouse, and an "ombraculum" -something similar as a greenhouse-, all from 1888, and Universal Scientific Exposition. In this Exposition was presented the Eiffel Tower project, for example.

But the Park is more big. There are an artificial waterhouse, the Catalonian Parlament, and all is an special modernist-victorian classical garden in Barcelona. Each corner is special, like an arbor. It's a big park.
The planning of the day:
-Meeting between the spanish steampunkers
-Visit to the Museums. It's free
-Lunch. We are working in an special restaurant, in a cheap menu -10/12 €
-Afternoon activities -plays, stories, visiting all park.
All the day we will taking photos.

If you can and want a new experience in steampunk, I think it's a good chance, and more, you can know more about the science history ^^
The interesteds contact me by PM ^^ I can recommend some places like hotels very cheaps, or oldies,... What you want ^^ We will love to meet steampunks from other countries.

Barcelona is a bit too far to make it before 11 a.m., I'm afraid. Maybe another time... Everything seems to be in Barcelona these days, it's a pitty (I mean it's too far from here, not Barcelona is a bad choice).

PS: If I were you, I would use another word than 'quedada'. It's quite an ugly modernism. I prefer 'reunión', 'encuentro', or 'cita', all of which mean exactly the same without sounding like 4-year-old gibberish. I know it's quite common in the internet, but Steampunks should be a little more classy. Just saying Smiley.

I know... You are in Steampunk SP??  Huh

When we put the name, last year (paso un momento al español con perdón, pero con la broma se quedó el nombrecito jejeje) Encuentro is for the Spanish Convention, finally... To not put "Convención" in the name...

No, I am not in SteampunkSP although I ocasionally give it a look. I'm not a very active forum member, more a reader than a writer or a maker, so I have never felt the need to register there. Maybe this will change someday.
I also read about the Convention a couple of months ago, but, well, I was in Portugal at the time, spending my little precious holiday time. A pitty, really, I would have liked to be there, and so would a couple of friends of mine. Let's hope next time we'll be able to make it (probably not a whole week, but maybe one week-end).
