Thanks Pedro for taking care of us and showing us around all the highlights of Barcelona. We got up close & experienced the highlights of what makes Barcelona the memorable city it is today. Got to explore the cathedrals, museums, Olympic district, view the sights, and even hear about how Barcelona was planned as a city. From the gradual change from a industrial area to the grounds of many internationa events to how it became a cultural icon. Thanks Pedro for all the insights! The guided tour was much appreciated and we truly enjoyed the day.
