Barcelona Guide Bureau’s guide opinions: Joana Wilhelm

Why Barcelona Guide Bureau (what is the difference between you and other guides)?

My target is not only to transmit knowledge…. I also want people to feel my personal “joie de vivre”, enthusiasm, converting every day in a funny and new experience….unforgettable if possible!

Why Barcelona is a “must”?

Barcelona is a must…. because of its history, beauty, mixture of cultures and arts.

Your favourite place in Barcelona and why.

My favourite place in the city is a little terrace in front of the sea…belonging to Escriba’s restaurant.

Something curious about Montserrat.

The monks had once a strange visit …Heinrich Himmler! He was searching for the holy grail!.

Something curious about Park Güell.

At Park Guell’s main entrance, the concierge’s pavillion mushroom roof is made of coffee cups!.

Something curious about Sagrada Familia.

I adore the squirrels under a cactus, part of a flower pot! (Birth façade).

Something curious about Montjuïc.

Over there is located the official residence of King Juan Carlos I.

Something curious about Gaudí.

He remained single!

Something curious about Catalan people.

Their official feast day is a defeat! September 11th!…they like bizarre sweets like “coca de llardons” ( bacon and pine kernels cake)…excellent by the way!

Three tips to enjoy Barcelona.

• Dont’t miss the Miró Foundation
• Dare to order “mel i mató” cottage cheese and honey dessert or a nice “crema catalana”…crème brûlée.
• During the summer time , please enjoy Barcelona’s beaches and chill out music bars…
