Incredible & Informative Walking Tour! - Huge props to Darren for an incredible and informative walking tour of Barcelona’s old Gothic quarter and the El Born neighborhood! We learned a lot of historical information, and Darren kept us walking in the shade as much as possible in a hot day. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about Barcelona’s history. Thank you, Darren, you beauty! :-)
