One of the oldest Catalan blacksmiths working in Barcelona, and the only chap with an open forge. This craftsman had learned from his father and practiced all his life.

In our culture, with the peaks of the mountains talent has built available online, do we appreciate true craftsmanship and the effort it takes to achieve?
