What you’ll do

Ready for an unforgettable day in Barcelona? Get set to explore this vibrant city with a local host who knows all the best spots and hidden gems. From a delightful breakfast at a quirky café to wandering through lush parks and bustling markets, this experience is packed with some of my absolute favorite spots in Barcelona. Let's dive into the heart of Barcelona and make some incredible memories together!

Kickstart your Barcelona adventure at Billy Brunch and Park, a quirky hotspot known for its mouth-watering breakfasts and brunches. Picture yourself tucking into a hearty meal, washed down with your favorite drink, while your local host fills you in on the secrets of local cuisine and the best food spots in town. This place has something to tickle everyone's taste buds.

With your belly happy and full, head over to the stunning Ciutadella Park. This green haven is the perfect escape from the city buzz, offering plenty of spots to relax and explore. Jump into a rowing boat on the serene lake or wander through the lush greenhouse filled with vibrant plants. Don’t miss the enchanting Cascada Monumental, a hidden gem designed by a young Antoni Gaudí. Marvel at the intricate hydraulics and water tank, ingeniously crafted by the visionary architect. Inspired by Rome's Trevi Fountain, the cascading waters are adorned with mythological elements, creating a truly magical spectacle. 

Next, dive into the cozy charm of Elsa y Fred, a hidden gem in the Old Town district of Born. This restaurant transports you to 1950s Europe with its warm ambiance and classic decor. Admire the wall adorned with a famous quote from the iconic film "Elsa and Fred," capturing the restaurant's romantic essence. Indulge in a delightful lunch, whether you prefer traditional tapas or innovative cuisine. It's one of my favorite spots in Barcelona for a truly memorable experience.

Your adventure then leads you to the bustling Mercat de la Boqueria, a vibrant market right in the heart of Barcelona. Stroll through the lively aisles filled with colorful stalls offering fresh produce, gourmet meats, cheeses, and more. The market is a melting pot of local culture, where you'll see Barcelonians shopping side by side with curious tourists. Your host will guide you to the best spots, making sure you don't miss any hidden treasures.

Throughout the day, your local host will share fascinating stories and insider tips, turning every corner into a discovery. Get ready for a fun-filled, unforgettable journey through the best of Barcelona! And remember to tell me how it went.

Alan was amazing! Had made reservations at a three local tapas restaurants and made great recommendations! I was in a mobility scooter and made me very comfortable. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Alan was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Made us very comfortable! Even bought us a small gift as we were celebrating our anniversary! Highly recommend! Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Anna was right on time and very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the city. We made the mistake of scheduling when many shops were closed for siesta. She was still able to make it a very enjoyable trip for myself and wife. Thank you.
