Bilbao

Bilbao, a perfect mix of culture and gastronomy. A personal visit with a private guide will take us into the already majestic work of Frank Gehry to admire his private and temporary collections of contemporary art. But Bilbao also hides two other passions that the Basques cultivate: gastronomy and friendship. Cultivating them at the same time. We will be able to verify it when we enter with our guide, in the largest covered market in Europe, that of La Rivera, where we can choose any food to taste there in one of the gastrobars. We can also stroll through its old town, full of bars where you can alternate with one another, in what in the Basque Country is called pintxos. We will make friends.

Antonio Gaudí is considered the most ingenious and innovative architect of his time and creator of an own and unique style in the world. This is reflected in its impressive architectural works, such as the Sagrada Familia, the Casa Batlló or El Parc Güell… and also other lesser known but equally amazing works. On this tour you will travel back in time to the 19th century. You will discover, visit and learn about the creations of Gaudí and other great masters of modern architecture, such as Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig I Cadafalch or Josep Villaseca I Casanovas. We will carry out the tour accompanied by an expert guide specialized in Modernism, which in addition to talking about the movement and its protagonists, will explain us various anecdotes and curiosities that will make the tour become a short trip to the early 19th century.

Each itinerary is adapted to the interest and availability of time of our guests, but the minimum time to meet Gaudí is half a day, which we will surely combine with a gastronomic stop !.
