Walk & Wine - Stories in Old Town & Park (with wine) Small Group
On this experience we cover 3 different areas, the old core of the city and our favorite park. We combine our culture & history exploration with a local wine tasting. Let’s dive in…
We start next to a majestic monument, the Arc de Triomf and the 1888 Universal Expo ground. After a short walk we enter the biggest public park in the city, Barcelona’s version of Central Park. Here we start with a refreshing toast, salut!
We cross “El Born”; a very charming and bohemian area famous for it’s tapas bars, world class wine & cocktail bars, boutique shops, museums & art galleries
Next we will enter this maze of little streets with many hidden treasures, The “Gothic Quarter”. It's where it all began! From Roman ruins to Medieval times. We'll travel back in time as we explore the layers of 2000 years of history
You will get a good overall impression of the city, it’s people, the history and culture and get great insider tips. A good way to start your BCN experience. Share the joy with us!
