Linqia team moves to its garage

... well not quite. But it does have a garage door as it's entry. Starting from uptown Gracia, moving to downtown Gracia and landing back uptown to a quaint village known as Sarría.

After more than one year in pure startup mode working from several office centers, we have finally built our own nest and found our own office. From now on, we are working in a spacious 2 floor office loft – with the obligatory garage downstairs where our developers are based and working full speed ahead to get Linqia fully up and running - yes, now we are a real Internet Startup ;-)

Historically, Sarría used to be a small village and summer residency for the bourgeoisie. Unbelievably it took them half a day with horse and carriage to travel from downtown Barcelona to Sarría. Today, although close to downtown Barcelona, Sarrià remains the cosy village it always has been with narrow little streets and lovely houses. We enjoy having lunch in the sun at Plaza San Marco and discovering all the tiny and neat stores and restaurants dotted along the cobbled stone streets.

A wonderful place providing all of us with pure energy!
