I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!

Continuing with my passion for food, I wanted to add to the list of great places to go to here in Barcelona, Spain, one of my favourite ice cream places, besides vioko, which I already mentioned in a previous post (click here for great food 1)

The place is called Gelateria Italiana, and you can find it in Gracia, at Plaza de la Revolucion 2. It's a small place, all the ice cream is made by them with their own recipes. I highly recommend the dark chocolate ice cream, it's the best I've ever had. Yesterday I tried the wild berries ice cream and it was also wonderful. 

Their page in Yelp

The good news: it's open all year! They are not closing for the winter time.

The prizes range from 1.80 euros to 2.5, depending on the number of ice cream balls you want, they also have waffles and crepes, which I haven't tried yet.

Stop violence against women

In reality, stop violence, period. against women, children and even men. The fact that you are weaker or can't defend yourself against an attacker doesn't mean you should be attacked. The fact that a woman wants to wear a short skirt, doesn't give you permission to rape her.

These are two articles I found about rape and violence against women and children, mostly. Have a read and let me know what you think. They are very interesting and quite scary.

50 actual facts about rape - The numbers on this article are mostly for the US, but they are still very troubling
