Barcelona Art Odyssey — a journey through the many faces of the city’s creativity: from intimate galleries where you can discover and buy art across different price ranges, to vibrant street murals and hidden corners of urban creativity. Along the way, you’ll explore places tied to Gaudí and Picasso, as well as other landmarks that have become works of art in themselves.

“Our Guide in Barcelona”
My wife and I hired Liliia for 3 days for our first time in Barcelona. Liliia showed us many great sites and introduced us to several cultural foods and items to sample and bring back home with us. She was very knowledgeable about the Spanish history and taught us a lot. Her English was very good and easy to understand. My wife is Russian and enjoyed chatting with Liliia in their native tongue. She was a wonderful guide and I highly recommend her. Dennis Deaver, Alamo, CA, USA
