The tour starts at the Arc de Triomf - so we take the Metro right to the park and it takes maybe 10 minutes. We take the L2 line to Universitate and then the L1 line to Arc de Triomf stop.
This is a new area for us so we stroll down the park enjoying the sites.
We have arrange to meet up with Katrina and Rob (friends from home) for dinner. They choose a place that is close to the meeting spot called Elsa and Fred.
It is a lovely place where we share a bottle of wine (ironically called Fred) and tapas.
We have so enjoyed seeing and spending time with Katrina and getting to know her partner Rob better.
After the meal we find a bar and sit out on the terrace and enjoy some drinks.
We meet Eric, our tour guide and along with the others on the tour we head off at 9 pm.
Eric is a great story teller, as he addresses us he makes direct contact and draws us in. He made a point of connecting with all of us.
He included each of us in his stories, even giving us roles when discussing the Spanish Inquisition. The story carries on at each stop weaving the tale as we go along.
The tour includes projected images on the walls along with descriptions and real pictures of what he is talking about.
Eric makes a point to engage us and was just perfect when it came to drawing us in and keeping it interesting.
We were surprised at areas he took us to, as many of them were new to us and we wish we had another day in Barcelona to see them during the day. Another reason to come back.
After two hours the tour ends with a final judgment (you have to do the tour to find out as I don't want to ruin the surprise).
Here is a link to the tour via Viator.
After the tour we jump in a cab and we are returned home very quickly.
Tonight we reflect on our time in Barcelona - which I will put in a blog
