Who is Local Lisa?

A star by nature, I am possessed of the desires to be world famous and invisible at the same time. For that reason, this blog makes perfect sense.

In terms of subject matter, this blog will mostly be about Barcelona and the little, often overlooked things that make this city great. Occassionally it will also be about a certain expat´s attempts to adjust to life here, with descriptions of the successes and failures encountered along the way.
