Day Tours in Barcelona

One of the favorite day tours in Barcelona are the wine tours visiting places such as Priovat which was developed on the site of a monastary. The area has been known for wine production since ancient Roman times. This area has only been a specially highlighted region in the past 20years. Wine tasting and purchase of bottles of wine are available from these special winery shops.

One of the day tours in Barcelona definitely not to be missed is a tour of the Gothic Quarter of the city. Here the eye will be treated to towering structures of beautiful architecture some so close together they seem to hem the world in. Among the many sites in this area is an unfinished cathedral begun by the famous son of Barcelona, Antoni Gaudi. From time to time tourists may catch local artisans still busy working on this structure. Other very special areas are the old Jewish area, and the actual remnant of a Roman aqueduct. One of the oldest temples in the world to be enjoyed on day tours in Barcelona is the Temple of Augustus dating back to 15BC.

Day tours in Barcelona would not be complete without sampling some of the native foods which may be enjoyed as you stroll along the famous Rambla street stopping at La Boqueria. Since 1836 this wonderful shop has offered the tantalizing aromas of live sea creatures, fruits, vegetables and cheeses beyond your wildest imagination.
