Arguably, the 1992 Summer Olympic Games hosted by the city of Barcelona in the Catalonia state of Spain was one of the most successful of its kind. After all, who can top its motto of Friends Forever to underscore humanity’s sense of friendship being nurtured amidst fierce competition? It is also because of the Olympic Games that Barcelona began to slowly but surely become more modern in terms of economic prosperity and cultural activity. Nowadays, only Madrid appears to have an edge of the city but that image may soon change with the citywide renovation programs continuing to make their effects felt in many ways.
For these reasons, Barcelona offers many kinds of tours for eager visitors to see the sights, meet the people and just imbibe the vibe that makes Barcelona what it is today – one of Spain’s most intriguing cities. And did we mention that it is also one of the most stylish cities where fashion, architecture and city design are concerned?
However, before you even begin of thinking about booking your type of tour in Barcelona, be very sure that you have already booked your holiday apartment in the city. This way, you can get the best deals and discounts as well as avoid the frenetic rush of other fellow travelers to book an apartment with the best value for money. Plus, it will definitely be good to go to your second home in the city after a hard day of touring and night of partying.
If you want a guided tour of the city attractions with the intention of later on going back to the places that interests you the most later on, then we suggest the one-day tour. Usually, only the highlights of the city are included in the tour. For example, the morning is reserved for the classic sights like the Plaza de Catalunya, the Gothic Quarter and the Monthuich Mountain while the afternoon is for the artistic part of the journey. Thus, you can enjoy the Paseo de Gracia, the Picasso Museum and, of course, the La Sagrada Familia.
You can also choose gastronomic tours focusing on Spain’s most famous food export – the tapas. The taps are not just the come-ons to the so-called tapas tour either because you will get to meet the people in the bars, cafes and restaurants where said delectable appetizers plus drinks are sold. And believe us – you will appreciate how the sharing of tapas is almost like a social religion in Barcelona.
Just to name a few of the places you should visit in your search for the best tapas experience, tour guides recommend La Rambla with its bird cages, La Boqueria for its famous food market filled with fresh produce, live seafood, fresh and cured meats and cheeses, and, of course, the Gothic Quarter once again.
Barcelona is a grand place to start your tour of everything Spanish. It looks back into the country’s Golden Age when their kings and queens where truly powerful masters of a world empire and yet looks forward to the modern times when prosperity and stability will make it great once again. Be part of these exciting changes if only on your vacation by booking your holiday apartment and tour to Barcelona today!
