Barcelona, Baby

June 16, 2025

Barcelona is widely praised for its vibrant culture, stunning architecture, and art, design, and delicious Catalan cuisine.

It’s crazy beautiful and in April, the huge summer crowds have not arrived and the weather is simply perfect. The sun shines brightly, but with moderate humidity levels, the warmth is enjoyable rather than oppressive as it can be in summer.

Our adventure begins with three unforgettable days in sunny Valencia, a city bursting with life, energy, and color. Situated on Spain’s stunning Mediterranean coast, it’s a place where the sea breeze mingles with the scent of orange blossoms, where the sun shines almost year-round, and where the food is simply delicious. Whether you’re visiting Valencia for its beautiful beaches, or for its abundance of excellent museums and galleries, you’re sure to have a wonderful time.

We continue in Barcelona, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and famous for Gaudí and other Art Nouveau architecture, Barcelona is one of Europe’s trendiest and loveliest cities.

We’ll also visit the Costa Brava, which makes up a large part of the Spanish region of Catalonia. It runs all the way from the French border down to the province of Barcelona. One of the Costa Brava’s most famous former residents is the eccentric artist Salvador Dali.

We’ll be staying right in the heart of Barcelona, just a couple blocks from Plaza Catalonia and Las Ramblas. Considered the city center, Plaza Catalonia is where Barcelona’s major tourist attractions are located, including the Gothic Quarter, El Raval, Las Ramblas and La Sagrada Familia.

From tapas to Flamenco, we will take in all that these regions have to offer. And with our intrepid guide, Manfredi holding our hands and showing us all these places have to offer, I can promise you an amazing adventure.

And at the end of each day, you’ll enjoy scrumptious dinners as you relax, enjoy a glass of wine and share stories and experiences with your fellow guests who will quickly become friends as you bond over the beauty and joy of Spain.

With each group we host, we make our family bigger and our table longer, so join us and become part of the clan.
