Barcelona Guide Bureau’s guide opinions: Lali Badosa

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

It’s unique as a company of its kind. It offers qualified professionals who get constant training, work together and don’t compete against each other.

Why Barcelona is a “must”?

Because it has a great variety of interests for all tastes and types of people that other cities don’t have.

Your favourite place in Barcelona and why.

The attic of “La Pedrera” for its magic and unusual feeling.

Something curious about Montserrat.

The fact that they found clay objects decorated with sea shells from 9000 years ago in its caves.

Something curious about Park Güell.

The mystery number 5, repeated in many ways and places in the park.

Something curious about Sagrada Familia.

The sculpture of one of the roman soldiers on the eastern façade has 6 toes on each foot.

Something curious about Montjuïc.

The fortress on the top was built to repress the city, instead of to defend it.

Something curious about Gaudí.

He had safety pins instead of buttons on his jacket.

Something curious about Catalan people.

That combination of “seny i rauxa” (being practical and eccentric) that has produced so many interesting characters.

Three tips to enjoy Barcelona.

• Get to the old and the new, the sea and the mountain, discovering monuments, shops and museums, and eat something in all those places accompanied by a BGB guide…that’s more than three…
