Let Iberian Escapes show you the very best of the Catalan capital - from specialist art tours, to private chefs and helicopter joy rides over the Costa Brava.
Ahhh Barcelona! With its privileged Mediterranean location, wealth of art and history, and famed gastronomy, no wonder it remains a perennial European hot spot. On any day, the city is abuzz with cruise ship passengers (Barcelona boasts the busiest cruise terminal in southern Europe), business travellers, weekenders and increasingly a community of digital nomads who make Barcelona their temporary home.
The good news is that with a combination of travel experience and skilled vetting, Iberian Escapes has put together the ultimate little black book of Barcelona.
Let's begin with gastronomy. Catalan cuisine is poles apart from what you will find elsewhere in Spain, with local recipes rich in unusual combinations that marry the flavors and produce of both the Mediterranean and the mountains. A great example of this is the Catalan version of paella, which swaps seafood for rabbit and butifarra sausage, or the salty-earthy ‘sea and mountain’ hot pots that combine both fish and meat.
There are certainly plenty of five-star restaurants in Barcelona to try local dishes, but for something really luxurious why not book a private chef for your a romantic dinner for two or special celebration? Our chefs can not only make you a meal to remember, but also give you an at-home cooking class while they prepare it. For people with food allergies and special dietary requirements, we can also arrange delicious meals delivered to your door seven days a week.
With all that calorie intake, you are going to want to keep up your fitness regime in Barcelona. Spain is a sports-loving nation and in Catalonia there is no shortage of opportunities that combine fitness and fun. From outdoor fitness set-ups in the parks and beaches, to local gyms with a buzzy, social vibe, to tennis clubs where you can have a friendly match with the locals. Or just grab your trainers and head to the hills for stellar views of the city as you run mountain paths. Iberian Escapes can organise private tennis coaches, trainers and even a unique tour where you jog in a group between the main sites.

Who doesn’t love an adrenaline rush when they are on holiday?
We do! Which is why we organise adventure sport activities in Barcelona. For the brave-hearted, we can book paragliding and parasailing activities along the Costa Brava - the stunning coastline that meanders all the way from Barcelona to the border of France.
If sailing is more your speed, the chance to hire your own yacht, with or without a skipper, remains one of the city’s biggest attractions. Our luxury yachts are ready and waiting for jaunts over the Mediterranean, whether you are a small group or a large party wanting to celebrate with a DJ and sunset cocktails.
