I will show you:
I will make art, history, gastronomy and culture come alive, while I will show hidden and secret places that only well-informed locals know, always looking for the unusual.
By digging up the unique art of the city, its history, the language, the food and, ultimately, its people, I will make this a truly unique and different travel experience, which will reveal the true soul of Barcelona.

About me:
I am Jordana Recasens, from Barcelona. An enterprising woman, with great positivism and inner strength. Enthusiastic and very organized, team leader and with great commercial skills. I have lived in the United States and in Italy and I am a frequent traveller with rapid adaptation to other cultures and points of view.
Double Spanish-Dutch nationality and animal and nature lover.

I have been working as a tourist guide in Barcelona and Catalonia since 2016 and I love getting to know new cultures and visiting new places in the world, so traveling is without a doubt my greatest passion. I have traveled through Europe, Asia, Africa and America, and what better way to travel every day through stories of travelers coming and going every day.

My special tours and activities:
What will be do:
We will meet in plaza Cataluña and take the metro up to Collserola park, one of the largest metropolitan parks in the world. Even 22 times larger than Central park of New York!!
It´s a peaceful place where locals go jogging, walking their dogs, or just to have a walk and enjoying lunch break with the best views of Barcelona surrounding by nature.
After 20 minutes of metro, we will start our hiking tour, walking through the nature with the best views of Barcelona and I will explain you all the hidden secrets of the Tibidabo mountain, and it´s history through the years.
When the romans used to plant wine here, all the medicinal plants we use every day in our food or infusions, the Tibidabo amusement park (oldest one in Spain) and an overview of all the history and neighbourhoods of Barcelona.
We will stop in a lovely mirador and have our picnic, enjoying as you were locals from Barcelona. As in Spain we have two ours for lunch it´s very common that people stop by to take a walk and have a little picnic in their lunch break, so that they disconnect and relax for a while in a busy working day.
What will be visit:
We will take one of the oldest trams in Barcelona to get up to the Collserola mountain. It´s a fantastic experience just known by very well-informed local people. We will see how the city ends to get into the most beautiful Natural Park of Barcelona. One of the biggest in the world with 8500 hectares.
We will be doing a nice walking tour through the park and getting to know all the history and funny stories behind it, as well as having the most amazing view of Barcelona. We will stop to have our picnic and feel as we were locals and having our lunch break in busy working day.
After we will go back to take a bus, then the metro and return to our meeting point in plaza cataluña.
What I will Provide for you:
Some drinks and sandwiches for a great Spanish picnic
What you need to bring:
As it will be a walking tour through a natural park you will need to bring comfortable shoes.
