I have a NICE LIST OF SELECTED RESTAURANTS ready for you. Otherwise, we could also eat at my home in the heart of the city, the atmospheric Born district. Built in the XIX century, it has been the set of TV series and films. We'd enjoy a choice of local tapas, wine and cava.

Sheryl and George, it was a pleasure touring with you. Thank you so much for your kind words, they are very much appreciated.
Barcelona is a big city and having Christina give us an overview of the city was extremely helpful. She is very knowledgeable, speaks great English, and is very easy to be around. She is a great listener too and will adjust the itinerary if you want to see something specific or if you want to skip a particular item. I highly recommend this tour.
