Barcelona is a wonderland of edgy design hotels and restaurants, down to earth eateries filled with the working public at lunchtime, and a nightlife that won’t quit. It’s got beaches in town, food markets with market cafes and Mediterranean breezes. What more could you want? See 36 Hours in Barcelona in the New York Times.

We also have the best european football club like Barcelona FC. Such a great enjoyable city with nice people. 
Barcelona is really fascinating. I would love to go there, if given the chance.
Barcelona is more cosmopolitan, and the first language is Catalan, though everyone speaks Spanish
Thanks for the beautiful description of Barcelona. It makes me want to go there and experience it for myself.

We want to thank you so much for the incredible experience. We truly loved it and have a special place in our hearts for Spain because of it. It was nice to get to know you and we really hope to get better acquainted in the future...perhaps for the “walking tour” again or another adventure!

Alicia is Awesome. The Day was incredible and my Dad was Surprised and Loved every minute of it.I loved the whole event as well. I will recommend it to all my friends, such a great way to introduce the area and the culture.

Food and Wine in Madrid
I just adored Gabriela, and she is a wonderful chef. By the end of our classes together, I felt I had gained a new friend. The tapas tour was a delight. We did traditional tapas and then we visited a molecular tapas bar, which was fantastic. Of course she knew the chef and he came out and talked with us and discussed his art.
