Unusual things to do in Barcelona
You want an evening that is not another dinner and not another walking tour — something with a story in it, for two people or a small group of friends on a weekend away.
Why Barcelona works for this
The lanes around Santa Maria del Mar are narrow enough that a story told there feels like it is being told only to you.
How the evening runs
An evening through the Gothic Quarter and El Born, finishing near the waterfront.
Routes here run through the Barri Gòtic, El Born and the lanes around Santa Maria del Mar. Hosting is available in English and Spanish and Catalan.
