I know Barcelona very well, being a guide, an official guide, and being born here. This city is not only the beautiful resort town that visitors see. There is the humanity of the Catalan tradition and is cosmopolitan at the same time, which can only be lost in its concerted streets, walking through its remotest corners, both of a metropolis old and great in the XXI century, eating in high standard restaurants that only those who live there know. In short, there are many Barcelona’s to know.
