He was so very generous with his time, we tried olives, paella, nougat, pastries, cheese, the seafood & meat in the market look fabulous so a great start to our week in Barcelona. We can now go back to these market sellers & to the small shops outside with a much better idea of what to buy. It started rainy & got a bit heavier but we were so immersed in the tour it did not detract at all. Highly recommend him to everyone looking to gain more about Barcelona.…”
