Hard Rock Cafe Barcelona
Meet your guide just outside the Hard Rock Cafe, across from Plaça de Catalunya
¡Hola time travelers! Buckle up, because we're about to blast back over 2,000 years to the very cradle of Barcelona – a Roman settlement called Barcino! Forget dusty history books, we're diving headfirst into the legends and lore surrounding this ancient city's birth. Imagine cobblestone streets (even older than the ones we'll be walking on!), bustling marketplaces, and the echoes of Roman citizens going about their daily lives. We'll uncover the secrets of Barcino's founding, exploring the strategic genius behind its location and how it grew from a small colony to the vibrant metropolis we know and love today. Think gladiators, emperors, and maybe even a chariot race or two (okay, maybe not the chariot races, but we can dream!). Your expert guide will be your personal time-travel companion, weaving fascinating historical tidbits into every step of our journey, bringing the past to life with captivating stories and maybe even a few surprising revelations. Ready to experience BCN.
Mercat de la Boqueria

Think glistening seafood straight from the Mediterranean, mountains of colorful fruits you've never even seen before, and cured meats that'll make your tastebuds sing. And the best part? these stalls have passed down through grandmas and great-grandmas. Get ready for a flavor fiesta!
