In our new series #SIRTalks, we will be interviewing a series of guests, from local architects, interior designers in Barcelona, to our own agents and collaborators.

Our first episode features Alex Mompó, one of our most experienced agents, offering you an opportunity to get to know him better.

What do you love most about Barcelona?

“Having spent a decade in Barcelona after moving from the Costa Brava, it’s been a transformative experience for me. Socially and ideologically, I’ve met people from diverse backgrounds, enriching my perspective. Barcelona’s charm lies in its welcoming streets and diverse cultural tapestry. Simply put, I adore Barcelona!”

What’s a must-visit gem in the city?

“Reflecting on Barcelona’s magnificence, one hidden gem stands out for me and my family – Jardines de Muñoz Ramonet. Tucked away in the Muntaner area, these quaint gardens offer a tranquil retreat. Perfect for unwinding amidst nature, reading a book, or admiring the sculptures, it’s a slice of paradise. A delightful escape from the everyday bustle.”

How does Barcelona’s architecture showcase its culture and art?

“Barcelona’s architectural splendor owes much to a significant economic boom in the last century. This era fostered a renaissance in art and culture, reflected in the city’s stunning facades. Masters like Gaudí left an indelible mark, blending neo-Gothic and modernist styles to beautify Barcelona. Artistry flourishes in every corner, with Gaudí’s works serving as global landmarks.”

What’s the allure of being a real estate agent?

“For me, it’s the joy of connecting with people. While my journey into real estate was serendipitous, it’s a profession that’s deeply fulfilling. Our reputation draws individuals worldwide, each with their compelling stories and investment aspirations. My role involves forging connections, learning about their ventures and triumphs – an immensely enriching experience.”
