I’m Esme Fox, a British travel writer and journalist who has been living in and writing Barcelona for the last 10 years. I regularly write about the city and wider Spain for places such as Lonely Planet, The Local Spain, Wanderlust and National Geographic Traveller.

I started my newsletter The ‘B’ Word during the pandemic to keep other residents informed and feel connected during a difficult time, but since then it has morphed into so much more.

Today it’s a celebration of Barcelona, delving into aspects of Catalan culture, talking about issues facing the city and its residents, new openings, events and places to eat and drink.

Thanks for reading!
