Refusing to tax tourists

Roger Pallerols, the director of the Barcelona Restaurant Association which represents around 3,000 bars and restaurants in the city said that his members have flatly refused to cooperate.

Tourists coming into Barcelona on cruise ships and those staying in tourist accommodation currently have to pay a daily rate. But costs are set to rise with a payment of €3.25 a night for any cruise or establishment from 2024. Meanwhile, the bars and restaurants in the city have said it would be impossible to ask for the passports of every person.

Paula Gonu from Spain has over 228,00 followers on social media and recently confessed to eating part of her knee which she cooked into a spaghetti bolognese, according to a news source on Wednesday, May 10.

Thirty ­ year ­ old Paula Gonu explained about her recent knee surgery, which was performed under local anaesthetic. The glamorous model and influencer remained awake throughout the whole procedure and asked the surgeon to explain everything as it went along.

Gonu watched the whole grisly event live on a screen. As the minor operation neared its end the doctor surprised her by asking if she wanted a little souvenir and asked her if she would like to keep the cartilage he had removed.

Things took a bizarre twist about a week later when Gonu was having a laugh with her boyfriend and the thought of eating her own knee cartilage popped into her mind.

She told him, “I told him I wanted to eat it because it was part of me, and I had to put it back in my body.”

She then explained how she made a spaghetti bolognese and added the cartilage to the sauce before both she and her boyfriend settled down to enjoy dinner.
