Barcelona 5 senses tour

About this experience

In this tour you will have the opportunity to experience the best of Barcelona in one package. During the walk you will learn everything you need to know about history, culture, art, religion, politics, typical Catalan traditions, exquisite Spanish gastronomy and the power of Flamenco music.

This magical experience begins with a very interesting walking tour where we will discover together the deepest and darkest secrets of the enigmatic gothic quarter, secrets that you will never find in a conventional tour. Here we are going to cover 2000 years of history starting with the ancient Roman ruins and finishing up with important political facts that are going on today in Catalonia like the independence movement .

After the tour your senses will be taken to the highest levels by tasting an exquisite traditional Spanish Paella with classical delicious sangria in a very authentic restaurant followed by a breathless Flamenco show in Barcelona’s oldest and most traditional “Tablao”.
