My tour was a present for Vanesa, a Barcelona native!

Rubén, from Barcelona, decided to offer a very original gift to his partner, Vanessa. So he contacted me and together organized a private morning tour for the two of them. Since she loves the Sagrada Familia Church we started there and spent more than two hours discovering its secrets. Then we continued to the Old Town, where I also showed them so many things they had never even noticed. When we finished, I left them in a nice Tapas Bar.

Here is Rubén's feedback email:

Hola Marta!!

¡¡¡¡Lo pasamos realmente genial!!! A Vanessa le encantó, se quedó fascinada con la Sagrada Familia.
Llevamos desde el sábado comentando todas las cosas y los detalles que nos comentaste y todavía nos cuesta creernos que se escondan tantos detalles e historias en nuestra ciudad.

El restaurante fue perfecto. El ambiente muy tranquilo y la cocina, sencilla y directa, esconde una gran calidad tanto de materiales como de preparación.
Comimos unos platillos variados de primero y luego un Chicharro a la brasa que estaba buenisimo.

Después de comer, nos dimos una vuelta por el gótico intentando emularte y viendo con esos nuevos ojos.

Fue un día fantástico. Se lo hemos contado a la familia y creo que tendrás nuevos clientes en breve. ;-)

Un abrazo!!!


Hi Marta!

We had a really great time!!! Vanessa loved it, she was fascinated about the Sagrada Familia.
Since Saturday we haven't stopped talking about all the things we saw and the details you pointed out, and we still can't believe there are so many details and stories hidden in our city.

The restaurant was perfect. A very quiet athmosphere, and simple direct food hidding very high quality products and cooking.
We ate a variety of dishes as starter, and then really yummy grilled meat.

After lunch we went back to the Gothic Quarter trying to repeat the experience and looking at everything with new eyes.

It was a wonderful day. We told our relatives, and you might be having soon new clients. ;-)

Hugs!!!


I'm very flattered, it's so pleasant to make Barcelonians fall for their own city and open there eyes (even more!) to its beauty!
