Accompanying Person
A wealth of amazing tours and fun activities
Barcelona is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, it is demonstrated with the more than 7 million tourists who visit it every year.
Thanks to its great weather, diet, and above all, its character, you will see the true meaning of the word ‘Mediterranean’ in Barcelona. Picasso, Miró, Dalí, Gaudí, Tàpies – they were in their time at the vanguard of their movements and their testing-ground was Barcelona. That creative flair and typical Catalan restlessness is very much part of the city today and this is reflected in the buildings, exhibitions, and the design and art that you will find in the most unexpected places such as the ‘Sagrada Familia’ or ‘La Casa Milà’, also known as ‘La Pedrera’, as well as the stadium of the F.C. Barcelona (Camp Nou) or museums such as Picasso, Miró or l’MNAC.
