GÖRLIEWOOD
A glass of fiction, or a real and
fresh cocktail?
At nightfall, I went to listen to a spectacular con-
cert from the Sun Organ in the Church of St.
Peter and St. Paul. From its sublime sound, the
Spanish trumpets stood out, and I felt a sen-
se of pride, reflecting on how, just as we Spa-
niards speak in a raised tone of voice, so too
do our trumpets. Afterwards, I fancied dining on
roast duck in Poland, barely 20 metres from the
church, just across the river. And I couldn’t help
but muse that only a few years ago, it was im-
possible to cross from one country to the other,
and now, with a simple craving for Polish duck,
one only had to cross the bridge over the Neisse.
While savouring the aforementioned duck with
apple, I pondered that I was having a glass of
fiction in the halls of the Hotel Budapest – a film
which was also shot in Görlitz, inside the Art
Nouveau Görlitzer Warenhaus department sto-
re, where a curious route begins. Following the
numerical trail of the red stars, one finds infor-
mation about the filming in Görlitz. However,
I opted to make that dreamlike drink a reality,
and to my delight, the cocktail I savoured in my
hotel, the Borse, tasted glorious, before I went
to sleep in one of its palatial rooms. There,
enveloped in linen sheets, I consulted with my
sincere and soft pillow about my improbable
film, shot in Görliewood.
