April is the best month to visit Barcelona! The sun is still warm and the summer crowds have left, giving us the perfect opportunity to explore this majestic city by the sea.
The city of Barcelona is the perfect blend of culture, world-renowned cuisine, legendary art, music, and architecture.

Our Barcelona trip will be full of the most magical and fun experiences! We start off with a tapas dinner and drinks in the trendy Born district before viewing an intimate Flamenco show in a hidden 17th Century Gothic Palace.
One evening, we will enjoy a private sunset cruise on a beautiful sailboat to experience the warm, Mediterranean sunset and take in the view of the sparkling coast of Barcelona. As always in Spain, tapas and drinks are part of the experience.
We will visit the architectural masterpiece, Park Guell,designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi and built between 1900-1914. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Suite and is something you have to see in person to truly appreciate.
We love finding the most authentic cooking experiences and this one is no exception. We will source ingredients from one of the cities best fresh food markets. From there we will go to a locals home where we will have appetizers, and will learn how to prepare the Spanish "bread with tomato". We will make sangria together and the delicious Catalan cream for desert while we wait for the paella with wine or a beverage of your choice.
The next day we will head out of the city to a majestic castle in the country to learn about and sample cava, the champagne of Spain, before enjoying a farm to table lunch.
On our final day will visit one of the famous markets in Barcelona, catch up on shopping and stroll the Gothic quarter. In the evening, an award winning chef, will prepare an amazing Catalonian feast.
