A radical change: from Barcelona to Miami
Shakira surprised all her followers when she announced that she was leaving Barcelona to settle in Miami with her two children, Milan and Sasha. The Colombian singer made this decision in April 2023, looking for a new boost in her musical career and a better quality of life for her family. Since then, Shakira has regained her essence as an artist, working on her twelfth studio album, called “Women Don’t Cry,” which will be released on March 22 under the Sony Music Latin label. In addition, he has participated in several important events, such as Formula 1 and the Grammy Awards.
A secret return: Shakira’s visits to Barcelona
But the move to Miami was not easy for Shakira or her children, who had to leave behind their friends and their routines in Barcelona. For this reason, the singer has not lost contact with the city that was her home for a decade and that has given her so much. At least once a month, Shakira returns to Barcelona clandestinely, trying to go unnoticed and enjoying the little pleasures that the city has to offer. One of them is Mediterranean food, which Shakira misses when she is in Miami. The singer visits her favorite restaurants, where she tastes each dish as if it were the last.
But Barcelona is not the only place that Shakira visits when she is in Spain. The singer also takes the opportunity to get to know other places in the country, such as Cantabria, where she practices her favorite sport, surfing, and Ibiza, where she lets herself be carried away by the island’s magic without showing off. In addition, when she is in Europe, Shakira also makes some escapes to London, where she mixes with people without anyone recognizing her.
An indelible bond: Shakira’s recognition in Barcelona
Shakira has not forgotten Barcelona or the people who welcomed her when she arrived in the city. The singer has on several occasions expressed her gratitude towards Barcelona and its key role in her life and that of her children, to whom she offered stability and happiness. Even if she is now looking for the same thing in Miami, Shakira will always remember the time she lived in Barcelona and the friendship she forged in our country.
That’s why, when he announced his move on his social networks, he said: “Thank you to everyone who shared with me so many adventures in Barcelona, the city where I discovered that friendship is stronger than love” . With Miami as her new hub of operations, Shakira continues to impress her fans with her talent and ability to reinvent herself, while keeping the memory of her Barcelona past alive through her secret visits and the feelings that keep in your heart
