Fun and fabulous - We spent a terrific few hours with Jordan in Barcelona, as he shared with us the secrets of this great city. For two hours he regaled us with fun facts and the history of the city, as well as modern stories that come with living in one of the world’s most colourful places. In addition, he gave us some great tips on the best places to eat and drink. Yum! If you’re lucky enough to visit Barcelona, do yourself a favour and try to get on to one of Jordan’s free tours with SANDEMANs.
