TThe first word that will come to many people’s minds when they hear Barcelona will be Gaudi. Yet the capital city of the Catalonian area of Spain has ample more to offer on top of Gaudi’s awe inspiring architecture. Barcelona has many sights to see and a vast variety of activities to keep your group entertained; inspire your guests with history, artistic intrigue and top class gastronomy.

Stroll the streets of the gothic quarter to admire numerous 14th century cathedrals, we can even arrange for a private viewing of Gaudi’s iconic La Sagrada Familia Cathedral, without the hordes of tourists distracting you from this outstanding piece of architecture. You could also take a sunset hot air balloon ride to appreciate the architecture of Barcelona from above – a whole new perspective.

Numerous day trips are feasible from Barcelona as the city is surrounded by mountains, hilltops, beaches and the wine making region of Penedes. At night the city of Barcelona comes to life with the sound of live music filling the air and flamboyant flamenco dancers at every turn. Enjoy a lengthy dinner in one of the cool and hip restaurants or bohemian bars or first rate tapas bars that the city has to offer.
