Overview of your Barcelona tour

100 years ago, besides Gaudi, there was another very important architect in the city. In this tour we will get to know the masterpieces of two geniuses. Sagrada Familia is the most visited monument in Spain. No matter how many churches you have visited, I am sure you have never seen a church like it. Gaudi dedicated 43 years of his life in his masterpiece. He perfectly combined architecture and nature to create a church for the world. When we are on vacation, the last place where we want to go is the hospital, but Sant Pau hospital deserves a visit, because it is a masterpiece of modernism Domenech I Montaner (the architect) thought that not only medicines were important to be cured in a hospital, but also the smells (aromatherapy), the colors (chromotherapy), the sun (heliotherapy), so he surrounded the hospital with gardens where to smell the flowers, decorated everything with sculptures and colorful mosaics and opened large windows to enjoy the light and ventilation. The result was an owesome hospital

Mari was truly exceptional. She clearly loves her job and delivered a wonderful tour. We had actually taken a similar tour 5 years ago but she made it seem all new again as we included my brother and sister-in-law on this must see itinerary.

Our tour with Mari was fabulous. We were very comfortable in the transportation and driver she provided. The sites and stops gave our group of 7 a great glimpse of Barcelona and we will look forward to seeing her again on future trips. Thanks Mari!!!!
