\"\"<\/a>El text que encap\u00e7ala aquesta ressenya \u00e9s el mateix que hi ha escrit al vidre de l’aparador de la Quera, gaireb\u00e9 no calen gaires explicacions, o poder s\u00ed. La llibreria Quera<\/a> va ser fundada el 1916, al centre hist\u00f2ric de Barcelona, en un dels carrers m\u00e9s singulars, Petritxol, i aqu\u00ed continua 103 anys despr\u00e9s. En Raimon Quera, l\u2019actual propietari, representa la quarta generaci\u00f3 de la mateixa fam\u00edlia al capdavant del negoci.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c9s una llibreria especialitzada en les diferents modalitats de muntanya: excursionisme, escalada, senderisme, guies de natura, esqu\u00ed, literatura d\u2019escalada i mapes. Durant d\u00e8cades va ser la llibreria de refer\u00e8ncia del m\u00f3n excursionista de Catalunya, per\u00f2 les coses canvien, \u00faltimament la davallada de vendes ha estat imparable. Tant, que fa un parell d\u2019anys en Raimon es va plantejar traspassar el local i oblidar-se de la Quera.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Va rebre un munt d\u2019ofertes econ\u00f2micament temptadores, per\u00f2 que no s\u2019ajustaven a les seves expectatives que el nou negoci fos de qualitat, s\u2019ho va repensar. Fa quinze dies que ha enllestit les reformes, ha recuperat elements que feia anys que estaven amagats; el terra, l’embigat, estructures de fusta, ha transformat la Quera en llibreria-cafeteria.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

La nova decoraci\u00f3 no traeix l\u2019esperit de la llibreria, al contrari, sembla que les noves taules i cadires de fusta clara no s\u2019hagin mogut des de 1916, igual que els plats i coberts, un disseny actual per semblar antics. Una p\u00e0tina de solera i antigor no renyida amb la modernitat. L\u2019oferta gastron\u00f2mica \u00e9s variada; amanides, truites, taules d\u2019embotit i formatge i una selecci\u00f3 dels platillos<\/i> (1) de tota la vida degudament actualitzats.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Detalls que m\u2019agraden: la superf\u00edcie de les taules s\u00f3n de vidre amb un doble fons de fusta il\u00b7luminat, com una vitrina horitzontal, que permet exposar-hi objectes i llibres. En cadascuna d\u2019elles hi ha una selecci\u00f3 de llibres i mapes que farien les del\u00edcies dels col\u00b7leccionistes. Una \u00e9s dedicada a l\u2019Editorial Alpina, un cl\u00e0ssic de la cartografia de muntanya, mostra el primer mapa-guia publicat per l\u2019editorial, el 1946, \u00e9s el de Sant Lloren\u00e7 del Munt amb les signatures dels tres autors.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Per recuperar espai ha suprimit uns quants (molts) llibres acumulats durant decennis que no tenien futur. La reorientaci\u00f3 de la llibreria, ara dedicada especialment a literatura de viatges i menys a guies, ha facilitat les coses. Encara tot \u00e9s molt recent, a poc a poc anir\u00e0 ampliant i definit noves seccions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No ho s\u00e9 dir d\u2019una altra manera, en Raimon s\u2019ha reinventat, ell, i la Quera. D\u2019estar tot sol atenent la llibreria, venent i assessorant sobre rutes i cims, ara amb l\u2019ajuda d\u2019alg\u00fa m\u00e9s est\u00e0 aprenent l\u2019ofici de barista<\/i> i m\u00e9s coses que vindran. Quera, l\u2019espai c\u00e0lid i acollidor del centre de Barcelona on el millor maridatge literari i gastron\u00f2mic est\u00e0 servit. Endavant Raimon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) Els platillos<\/i>, encara que la paraula no figura al Diccionari de l\u2019Institut d\u2019Estudis Catalans, s\u00f3n una de les especialitats m\u00e9s populars de la cuina tradicional catalana; en Josep Pla aix\u00ed ho escrivia. Tamb\u00e9 en podem dir \u00abguisats\u00bb.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
