The Gaudí & Barcelona
Club has been organizing tours through a local travel agency since
1999. The tours are specifically focused on the works of Antonio Gaudí
and the most famous architectural sights in the city of Barcelona.
Those specialized tours
are for people that are searching for personalized care and attention
and a deep knowledge of the culture through which they are, including
gastronomy, art, society, and local events.
Some examples of past tours:

| July 1999- Group of
15 journalists from the OTA/OTR financial newspaper in San Francisco. We
arranged the bus, the official guide - an expert in the architecture of
Gaudí, the entrances for the buildings, and free entrance to a very
fashionable night club here in Barcelona. Feel free to contact Hartmut Leuschner
research@odn.de, the Senior Editor
in Europe for OTA/OTR, and the organizer of the 1999 international meeting
of the Company in Barcelona. |
