The Gremi de Restauració de Barcelona presents Barcelona, city of terraces, a photographic collection showcasing the terraces of Barcelona. With 228 pages, the book combines the work of photographer Mariano Herrera with text that illustrates how these spaces have become an essential part of urban life.

“This book brings to a close the story that began during the pandemic. From that nightmare came something positive. On one hand, more than a thousand terraces that have now become permanent, and on the other, a habit of terrace-living — a true passion for terraces and for everything they represent in our culture. Long live terraces.” – Isidre Gironès, First Vice President of the Barcelona Restaurant Guild.

The project involved contributions from Roger Pallarols and Vicent Llorca, and was designed by Extra Estudio. For its production, LED UV offset printing technology was used, along with Otabind binding, which allows the book to open completely flat. A gloss-laminated band serves as a dust jacket, while the cover features a matte anti-scratch lamination. The book uses a mix of paper types: semi-matte coated paper in various weights and Arena White Rough offset paper from Fedrigoni Paper for specific sections. Finally, it is decorated with yellow painted edges.
