Camper is the living history of a family business who, for more than a century and four generations, have dedicated their work to the shoe industry.

In 1877, Antonio Fluxà, a craftsman shoemaker, went England to find out about new methods of industrial manufacturing.

His son Lorenzo Fluxà was born into a shoe factory. He inherited from his father his taste and enthusiasm for this small object, always in pairs, that connects us to the ground. He continued the tradition.

The historical and social changes that occurred in Spain during the 70’s were reflected in a new way of life. New styles, new concepts. With the solid support of a century-old tradition, Lorenzo Fluxà, Antonio’s grandson, created Camper in 1975.

In 1981, the first Camper store was opened in Barcelona. A concept that revolutionized the world of traditional shoemaking. Today, Camper is the senior company in the sector in Spain.

If you want your own pair of Camper shoes come to Barcelona and try them!

And there is this super charming Catalan tradition of setting up elaborate Nativity scenes, only with a special touch: a little guy, somewhere in the picture, squatting with pants down and depositing a healthy looking turd somewhere in the holy scene. He’s called the “el Cagador”—that’s right, folks, “the shitter.”

You can buy one Cagador (what an original gift to bring home ) in Barcelona, in a shop located in the street going from the Plaza Generalitat along the cathedral… all kind of faces, the Bush ’s cagador, the Sarkozy and Carla Bruni ’s cagador ….Very strange and funny. On the christmas market de Santa Lucia, many shops where to buy el CAJANER ( el cagador en catalan).

The Cagador symbolizes the fertility to the earth.

For your stay in the city center, you can hire an apartment in Barcelona to enjoy more space.

If you are still looking for an original and special x-mas present…you might find something unusual at the Drap Art Festival:

Drap-Art’08
International Creative Recycling Festival

Drap Art brings new energy to the arts movements that used objects trouvés as a language of social critique, and the movements that continue to do so. But it also encourages people in general to use the means that normal life and waste materials place within their reach, in order to develop their potential in a creative and autonomous way, use critical thinking and express themselves, overcoming habits and traditions that are a legacy of the colonial era.

Artists from various countries articipate in the Drap-Art exhibition to show their work. You can find all sort of things from cloth, art, objcets, jewelery and much more.

Drap-Art’08 is a Festival in the framework of the CCCB activities and is held this year from the 18.12. – 21.12. in the CCCB Barcelona.

Come to Barcelonas DRAP ART event and stay in an holiday apartment in Barcelona.
