Tapas and Wine in Sant Antoni What better way to spend time with your lover than to share a bottle of wine over a delicious Spanish meal! Head to Sant Antoni, a hip local district filled with intimate tapas bars, for a feast of patatas bravas, octopus and garlic mussels. With tiny plates, you’ll be able to have a taste everything as you hop your way through the unique tapas bodega’s towards Poble Sec. You may like to round off the evening with a night out in the trendy bars as you stroll hand in hand through the moonlit backstreets. La Sagrada Familia & Park Guell No trip to Barcelona is complete without a visit to Park Guell, the playground for Gaudi’s imagination! You’ll be completely captivated by colorful mosaics and quirky architecture as you learn about this remarkable Barcelona icon. Share a tasty Spanish lunch with your lover beneath the shady trees, then head to La Sagrada Familia to marvel at the magical patterns of color and light created by the spectacular stained-glass windows. Rambla de Poblenou Take your lover to the local neighborhood of El Poblenou, where arty young people relax in the city’s abundant green spaces. Stroll through the shady terraces, stop for a bite to eat and get your partner something nice in one of the cute boutique shops on Rambla de Poblenou. This area is a masterpiece in urban redevelopment, and you’ll discover a side to Barcelona you didn’t know existed. Cocktails in the Beach Cheers! Barcelona is full of surprises, and the golden beaches that line the city’s shores are no exception. Relax with a refreshing cocktail in a ‘chirunguito’ at Bogatell Beach and take a dip in the balmy sea. You may like to hire a bike and explore the coastline a little further or let the sun fade to a vibrant night out at a local bar on the vibrant beachfront. Montserrat If you’re looking for a longer adventure, a visit to Montserrat is the perfect day trip for couples in Barcelona. Learn about the importance of the Montserrat Basilica and its place as a symbol of Christianity in Catalonia. Grab a tasty snack of cheese and honey, and relax as you admire the sweeping views of Barcelona from the top of Montserrat Mountain.

Perfect Walking Tour of Barcelona
Our original tour guide canceled on us but Octavio jumped right in and saved the day! We only had a few hours in Barcelona and wanted to see as much as we could. Octavio showed us so many sites and gave us history lessons that included a wide knowledge of architecture styles of buildings/homes and monuments/art pieces. He showed us some of his favorite things as well. The churros with chocolate dipping sauce were sooo good! We ended it all with a glass of champagne and a really good restaurant recommendation. It was a perfect tour with a friendly face. So glad we squeezed this tour in to our tight schedule.

Great interactive tour
We toured Barcelona with Octavio in July ‘25. We did a 3 hour walking tour and it was great. He took us beyond the main sites and provided great insight and explanations.
We had two teenage boys and the brief was to keep it high energy and entertaining. Octavio did this - interesting stories, food markets and a detour to the best Churros in town!
He left us with a heap of restaurant, bar and ice cream recommendations, so we benefitted from his guiding for several days thereafter.
A great experience, would highly recommend.

Lovely introduction to Barcelona
Maria met us in La Rambla and took us on a lovely walking tour of the area, introducing the history of the area as well as some fun facts and finds along the way. We had lot of fun and learned some local knowledge, and got some great recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to try (awesome Paella!). Thanks Maria and would highly recommend!
