Shared in an intimate touring experience with one of Tailored Tours experts, we meet local producers and learn the stories behind the city's most iconic shops, artisans & craftsmen. From the ancient Roman necropolis to Barcelona's imposing Gothic Cathedral, we visit the tucked away square of Sant Felip Neri, La Plaza del Rey and the elegant 19th century Plaza Real. Discover El Born, the medieval district of artisans which until today retains its affluent air. Designer boutiques and magnificent architecture lead us toward Santa Maria Del Mar Basilica, at once massive and ethereal.
