A truly memorable introduction to Spain in our first visit here! Our tour guide Sergio met us in our hotel lobby and showed us some of the highlights of Barcelona. Starting with Casa Mila, Sergio introduced us to Gaudi and his contributions to architecture and even furniture. Sergio is a Barcelona native and knew a lot of very interesting details about Spanish and Catalan history, architecture and culture. He also carried a guidebook with illustrations to quickly show us what he was talking about and how it tied in to various periods in Spanish history. Casa Mila was followed by a quick meal of tapas and sangrilla at a restaurant near Sagrada Familia and then a 2 hour exploration of this amazing architectural marvel. Sergio's detailed explanations about Gaudi's creative process made the tour very fun, informative and interesting. We highly recommend a visit to this architectural and cultural jewel with a Barcelona native tour guide like Sergio!
