Barcelona is certainly one of Spain’s most beautiful and internationally recognized cities. It has also been the birthplace, early origin or primary residence of many renown artists, writers and performers. Pablo Picasso is one of the most famous world figures with a strong association to Barcelona, though the list is long and extensive. Albert Boadella Oncins is another significant personality who stems from this great city. He is an actor, a playwright and a director and is well known for being fundamental to the development of the theatre company Els Joglars. He was born in Barcelona in 1943 and has had an extremely productive and much honored career. He has also directed many television programs and series episodes. He has also written for the television and has acted in the genre as well. And while his work in the theatre is likely the most important, he is greater known for his television work and appearances.

Some of the series Boadella has appeared in are Ya Semos Europeos, a 30 minute comedy series, Medico de Familia and Buenaventura Durruti, anarquista. Medico de Familia is comedy drama that focuses on various social and family issues. The plot lines revolve around the character Nacho Martin who is a family doctor who has been recently widowed. He is left to single parent his three children and has to learn how to deal with various extended family aspects. Also featured are his long time friend and deceased wife’s sister, who has been secretly in love with Martin for years. This of course contributes to both comedic and dramatic elements in the story line and interpersonal relationships. Boadella appeared in season four of this entertaining, yet also socially relevant series. He is a popular city personality and tourists who are staying in one of the luxury Barcelona hotels may have the opportunity to spot him in a local café.
