A great visit to El Born, Barcelona - Visiting the Arco de Triunfo and making a wish as I passed beneath the arco was an amazing ending to my tour. I tremendously enjoyed the cuisine at San Pedrito Restaurant. Touring the Mayor’s Office was very special also. All of this was under the excellent guidance of my amazing Tour Guide, Ivanna Pogorelsky. Ivanna’s conversational style was perfect for me and made the time spent exploring El Born quite memorable.

Had fun with Karla! - We met our local guide, Karla after we finished our tour of Familia Sagrada. We took a taxi to the El Born district and then started our walking tour. She showed us the area, talked about it, we took pictures and tried some local food and drink. She was very personable and fun, we had a great afternoon with her! I'd recommend doing this to anyone who wants to learn a bit more about Barcelona and walk to see the area.
