TOURS BY LOCALS "2026 LOCAL LEGEND SOUTHERN EUROPE: WEST" | LICENSED GUIDE and ART HISTORIAN | SKIP-THE-LINE ACCESS Born and raised in Barcelona, I have spent my entire life immersed in the vibrant culture, history, and beauty of Catalonia. My passion for hospitality spans 27 years, during which I have managed luxury tour companies and hotels across Spain, Southeast Asia, and the United States.

This background allows me to deliver an elite, seamless service that skips the generic tourist scripts and uncovers the true soul of Barcelona. I don't just show you Catalonia—I bring its history, hidden symbols, and secrets to life.

This two hour walking tour will take us to the narrowest alleys of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona to experience how the life of the biggest jewish community of the Kingdom of Aragon and Catalunya was during the Middle Ages. We will discover the important role this community played not only in the every day life of the city of Barcelona and the Kingdom of Aragon but also how important and well connected the Talmudic and Kabbalah scholars from Barcelona were with other jewish scholars from jewish communities around the Mediterranean. We will learn about the local key talmudic law and Kabbalah scholars from the middle ages whose works are still studied now a days. Even though I mention the importance of the medieval Jewish communities of Spain in most of my tours, this is a great tour to get a more detailed explanation of this subject. *If you book the tour on Saturday please keep in mind that the Synagogue will be closed due to Sabbath.
Cayetano was great. Knowledgeable and well spoken. We had a terrific time.
Cayetano was fabulous. He was so knowledgeable and was able to easily communicate the information to our group.
Cayetano gave our family a wonderful tour of the El Call district. He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. He showed us quite a few nuances details that are so easily overlooked even when one slowly meanders down a given street. His historical anecdotes were quite interesting and delve far deeper than the information available on the typical travel guides. We wholeheartedly recommend any and all tours he gives!
Cayetano knows and loves the cIty of Barcelona, and it shows! He brings the history of the city to life with his knowledge of the old town and its history, which he presents clearly and with humor. We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Highest possible recommendation!
We learned a great deal during this tour. Caytano really made the Jewish life in Barcelona come alive. He organized the tour with a helpful timeline of events and provided colorful anecdotes to help us see what life was like for the Jews during their time in Barcelona.
Cayetano was most accommodating. We had a very limited time in Barcelona and he arranged the tour to the sites that most interested us. He is knowledgeable, personable and articulate. He is highly recommended.

This is mainly a walking tour, Old City Barcelona was not built to be driven by cars or mini vans, the streets and alleys are very narrow. Most of the streets we will explore are just for pedestrians.
