Are you tired of looking at the same old travel guides that only seem to spotlight the ‘tourist traps”?
Do you crave some excitement and want to mingle with the natives of whatever country your travel to?
Why settle for the sites every tourist visits when you can explore the backstreets, small towns and off the beaten path attractions, restaurants and historical sites?
What better way to meet the locals, eat what they eat, visit the locations they frequent and discover ‘secret’ places only the residents know.
Authors Dani Cortijo and Rocio Sierra Carbonell invite you to explore Barcelona using their Local Guides and Local People book from Jonglez Publishing entitled Secret Barcelona.
Barcelona is a city on the northeastern coast of Spain. It is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Catalonia.
Wander the streets, take in the views, get to know the local residents and be sure to check out the secluded sites and hidden gems in this beautiful city.
This handy little softbound book/guide invites you to take in the sites and vistas and engulf yourself into the culture.
Take a tour of small hidden trains, visit the dissection amphitheater, a local shop museum, the impressive local library, a pots and pans mural, a hidden garden farm and so much more.
There’s so much to see and do that most tourists are completely unaware of.
Isn’t it time you don your explorer hat, pack a few snacks and necessities, bring along your appetite, let your curiosity guide you and explore?
"For I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness, One who relents from doing harm." — Jonah 4:2

Esoterica galore. I will be reading this more carefully in the next few weeks. But already found a few places to check out that the other guide books didn't mention.

Muy interesante. Me apunto ideas para hacer por una de las ciudades más bonitas del mundo (vale... no soy del todo objetiva porque es la mía, pero es verdad!).
