Son of a dressmaker and an erudite office worker, he was born in Barcelona on the 27th August 1968. After spending eight years in a religious school in la Ribera –just beside the Palau de la Música¡–, he attended high school at the extinguished academy ALMI and IES MONTSERRAT.

Despite his bad grades, he was accepted into the UAB’s faculty of Journalism, which he quited after four months. That the same year, he started to work as a waiter at LES PUCES DEL BARRI GÒTIC, a bar in the Gothic Quarter where he learned to play the piano.

“Nunca dejes que la realidad te estropee una buena historia.”
Francesc Miralles, El mejor lugar del mundo es aquí mismo

“La felicidad la pueden experimentar en toda su intensidad sólo los que han vivido grandes altibajos, porque es un juego de contrastes. Los que nadan siempre por el espectro medio de las emociones nunca conocerán la esencia de la vida. Esa es la enseñanza del pozo: a veces hay que tocar fondo para entender la grandeza del cielo.”
Francesc Miralles, El mejor lugar del mundo es aquí mismo

“Según los estudiosos, cada día tenemos unos sesenta mil pensamientos. Positivos y negativos, banales y profundos. No hay que juzgarlos: son como nubes que pasan. Somos responsables de lo que hacemos, pero no de lo que pensamos. Por eso, cuando alguna idea te angustie, simplemente ponle la etiqueta «pensamiento» y déjala pasar.”
Francesc Miralles, El mejor lugar del mundo es aquí mismo
