My tours last approximately 3.5 hours and during them, I offer you a nice cocktail of Sightseeing, History, Art History, Traditions, Gastronomy and entertainment.
If you prefer a longer tour, it would be a pleasure to organise it. Just let me know!
Normally, along the tours, we can stop at a nice Café or bakery to discover our typical products.
We can either take taxis or walk around the city (if the distances are not too long) or if you wish so, we can experience our public transportation system. In case you want to hire a car (with a driver) or a small bus, just mention it. I have the best contacts and I would organise it for you.
Even if it is a transfer from/to the airport or port.

The architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner was the founder of the Art Nouveau movement in Catalonia and he was Antoni Gaudí’s teacher at the University and they became very good friends. Two of his most breathtaking buildings in Barcelona are the former Saint Pauls’ Hospital and the Palau de la Música (a music hall), by the way, both were declared World Heritage of UNESCO in 1997. In the city there is another remarkable building by him to be seen from the outside, since it is not open to public.
The famous artist Pablo Picasso lived ten years long in Barcelona and he had such a nice time in the city that he decided to open his very first museum here in 1963.
We will visit the areas he used to walk through in the Old City, as well as were some of his workshops and then we will visit the museum about an hour and a half long. I am sure that you will be amazed to discover his formative period works. You would never guess they are real Picassos!
At the end of the 19th century Barcelona was expanding through a new area called the Eixample (a Catalan word that means extension). The owners of the factories decided to invest in their building by choosing themselves the architects. Depending on the budget, the architect was able to design them a unique building.
We will see many of these remarkable façades as well as foyers and we will have the chance to enjoy a short break in a historical Cafeteria.
