I am Marga and I am a *OFFICIAL LICENSED GUIDE*. I was born in Barcelona where I was graduaded of Tourism. I have always loved my city and felt proud of it, My decision of becoming a guide was due to my desire of sharing Barcelona and the way I feel it with others. I have been working as official guide in Barcelona for over 15 years. I lead tours in four different languages: English, Italian, Catalan and Spanish. My main aim is help people discover the art and history of Barcelona and Catalonia in an enjoyable way. I love my city, Barcelona, and I love my work. I use that passion to make a guided tour a memorable experience. In my tours I don't just spout cliches. On the contrary, I really do try to share our culture and way of life with you as best I can, helping you tune in to the best vibes of this wonderful place, Barcelona. I try to make my tours in an entertaining, amusing and interesting way - all at the same time. I aim to give you an experience that will touch your soul, because I want you to keep Barcelona in your heart. I am a mother of two girls and I love giving tours for families with kids. I was licensed in 1999 after finishing University Studies in Barcelona. Degree in Tourism. I have taken different lessons on art, history at the University of Barcelona and Museum of History of Barcelona. I have lived in San Francisco and Sydney for long periods of time. Proficiency certificate. 5 Years of Italian Studies in EOI Barcelona. (Official School of Languages). I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Barcelona tour
I have been offering this tour in the oldest part of Barcelona for a long time for both locals and travellers from overseas. I believe that to understand what are we like now we need to know where we come from and that is what I try to transmit to my guests, and this for us, in Catalonia, is specially important. No rush for this exploration of the rich and ancient history of this millenial city. Las Ramblas with the beautiful Boqueria Market, the Gothic Quarter, with its winding alleys and intimate square. A XIVth century church that was built in only fifty-five years, streetnames that take us back to the times of gilds and merchants, and the beautiful palaces that house interesting collection of Picasso Museum, all this in he Ribera Quarter, that is also part of this tour. Beyond stereotypes and cliches, the genuine Barcelona in 4 hour walking tour. Art, culture, literature and heritage and my personal touch as local and passionate of my work and my city: you'll get all this if you take this tour!

Thank you Marga for showing us such a cool part of Barcelona and sharing your expertise and special little tidbits around every corner. I loved all the walking and then later going back to the spaces you shared and feeling like I knew what I was doing. ;) It was a great way to learn the city and spend a beautiful afternoon! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
