If you are visiting Barcelona and prefer to support the local economy, you are on the right page. These are some of the homegrown Barcelonan businesses we recommend. Not only do they offer a fantastic product, but they are also good friends of ours. You can be sure you are in good hands with them.
From specialised guided visits to cooking classes, anything that we don’t do, we can probably recommend some quality family-run business.
Please help support local companies, and please help keep Barcelona a wonderful place 🙂
SPANISH CIVIL WAR TOURS
Hands down, the best possible walking tour if you are a history buff interested in modern Spain. Nick and Catherine take you back to the time of the Spanish Civil War, the revolution in Barcelona and the war’s aftermath. We never get tired of praising this highly recommended experience.
You can contact Nick at Spanish Civil War Tours Barcelona.
COOKING CLASSES
We have tried it ourselves and we can assure you that the food that comes out of their Kitchen is delicious. The great team at Barcelona Cooking guided by Candido and Emma will do their best to make this the best cooking experience in town.
You can contact Cándido and Emma at Barcelona Cooking.
E-BIKE RENTAL & TOURS
Alessandro runs this small shop in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, offering bikes for rent as well as e-bike guided tours. There are many franchises in the city, but this is the first, the original and the best electric bike shop that you can find in Barcelona.
You can contact Alessandro at E-Bike Rent Barcelona.
PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS
We don’t know if you will equal the stunning photographs that Laurie creates but between him and his team your photography skills will take a big step forward in the setting of Barcelona. If you are into photography and beautiful images, don’t miss Laurie’s guidance.
