In 1997, Barcelona's neighborhood of Cap i Casal was graced with a unique artistic spectacle: the installation of Joan Brossa's Lletres Gimnastes at La Ingenio. This tribute, composed in red letters, featured two A's on the inside wall, and two more suspended above the entrance, creating a noteworthy celebration of popular culture, carnivals, and the enduring passions of the poet. However, in 2023, one of the suspended A's made a daring leap, leaving the store and the city in a state of intrigue. The whereabouts of the elusive A remain undiscovered to this day, although the possibility of Wile E Coyote being the culprit has yet to be confirmed. Regardless of the reasons behind this daring journey, the story of the aerial A continues to captivate Barcelona, serving as a testament to the power of curiosity and the allure of exploration.
