Maria & Xavi PadrosaSoledad and Ramón opened the original Telefèric in Sant Cugat, north of Barcelona, in 1992 — pioneering the pintxos movement in Catalonia. Their kids Xavi and Maria worked the bar before opening their own. In 2016, Xavi crossed the Atlantic with one mission: Barcelona, no passport required.
