Her love for Barcelona’s gastronomy, especially tapas, as well as the good atmosphere of the filming made the stay of the New York actress an unforgettable memory. Perhaps Woody Allen’s culinary recommendations were helpful. A month before the filming he was seen with his wife Soon Yi buying food at La BoquerÃa market and trying different meals at mythical Pinotxo Bar. Scarlett Johansson would visit Barcelona again in 2010. This time, to present some fashion awards.
Filming at Palau Moja
Another of the places immortalized by Woody Allen’s camera was Palau Moja at La Rambla (today, the headquarters of the Catalan Heritage House). Inside its neoclassical halls, among paintings by Spanish painter Francesc Pla (‘El Vigatà ’), the wedding scene between Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Doug (Chris Messina) takes place. The shooting experience was very positive for Woody Allen that he said: "Barcelona is probably the most perfect city I know". And La Rambla was undoubtedly an essential element to reach this conclusion.
