Synopsis

Step by Step Barcelona reveals this vibrant city through a selection of walks and tours, complemented by beautiful colour pictures, a local author who acts as your own personal guide to the city, and a wealth of practical information, all in a compact package. It features:
• Recommended Tours, suggesting the best tours for art and architecture fans, sporty types, night owls, families and foodies, among others.
• An Overview, offering Insight's trademark focus on culture, geography and history, plus the lowdown on Barcelonan food, drink, shopping, entertainment, the city's distinctive architectural style, modernisme, and the Catalan language.
• 19 Walks and Tours, each with clear, easy-to-follow maps and hand-picked places to eat and drink en route. Wander along La Rambla, the city's most famous thoroughfare, explore the narrow lanes of the Gothic Quarter, chill on the golden sand beaches, marvel at Gaudi's Sagrada Família and explore the city's surroundings on a wine or Dalí tour.
• A comprehensive Directory, incorporating an A to Z of practical information, plus select hotel, restaurant and nightlife listings.

About this title

About the Author

Roger Williams is an established Insight Guides author who came to know and love Barcelona during frequent visits to the city from his home on the Costa Brava. He is continually delighted by its contradictions and describes it as a city that is at once one of the most bourgeois in the world and also one of the most avant-garde. Jackie Staddon and Hilary Weston, travel authors and updaters who work in a team, are both regular visitors to Barcelona and love getting reacquainted with old favorites while seeking out new surprises, which this constantly evolving city always delivers.
