Guides such as Olga, Montse, Daniel, and Fede have led this route, which mixes food with Modernist architecture and city history.

“Wonderful tapas, pintxos and walking tour with Olga. First stop was local tapas place with authentic tapas offerings, yum! Washed down with sangria, beer and wine. Olga explained the area, the food and the history of tapas. Next stop back to the more tourist area for pintxos. I think we all liked tapas better - but perhaps that was because we were more hungry at the first place? Olga took us via Casa Mila and explained the history and took photos great to have everyone in our group together. Dessert was next door to Casa Bartlo - hot chocolate was wonderful and tipped us over the edge into fully satisfied.…”
