Buenas Migas literally means "good crumbs" which appeals to this chain of three Café-Bakeries in Barcelona, Spain. Added to this in Spanish slang to say that 2 people make "good crumbs" means they get on very well. The atmosphere of Buenas Migas is just perfect to take a friend and have a distended chat: warm, quiet, cosy. And the products are very high quality, just like home made.
La Pelu is a mini chain of barber shops in Barcelona, Spain. Indeed a very fashionable one, for both men and women. All of them located in bohemian neighborhoods. In Spanish, barber shop = "peluquería". When you go for a hair-cut the slang is going to "la pelu". Simple, fun, owns the category... gives place to teasing people when they demand which one you are going to: "To La Pelu"!
"Un Cotxe Menys" is a brand in Catalan language. It means "One less car". It´s a small business of bicycles: sales, rental, repair located in a small bohemian neighborhood called "El Borne" in downtown Barcelona, Spain. The streets are mostly for pedestrians and the brand reflects very well the concerns and way of living of the people in the neighborhood.
I love this brand because it belongs to our 'local', it's small but not weak, and I dare say these small business brands are as strong and stronger than many global and multinational companies.
