So who runs this show?

Justine, founder and editor of Latitude 41

Glad you asked. I’m Justine – a churro addict, mom, and born-and-bred native Californian.

I’m an introvert living in Barcelona since 2008, eating burnt onions (calçots) and tripping on cobblestones in the Gothic Quarter. This Barcelona travel blog is where I share Catalan traditions, non-boring family activities, restaurants, shopping finds, day trips, and more.

This blog has been my baby since 2013. Find out more about me here. Want to collaborate? Work with me or say hi at [email protected]. And follow me on Instagram.
