Tuesday 4/11/’25: ¡Bienvenido a Barcelona!

Upon arrival in Barcelona, your personal tour guide Dieter will be waiting for you. Dieter has been living in Barcelona since 2022 and knows the city like the back of his hand. Once the group is complete, we will travel by train to Sitges. Upon arrival, we will check in at our luxurious villa with private swimming pool in Sant Pere de Ribes. We will get to know each other over a welcome drink and toast our first evening on Spanish soil.

Wednesday 5/11/’25: Gastronomy at its finest

In the morning, we enjoy a delicious breakfast at our villa. Those who wish can take a refreshing dip in the pool. Our private driver takes us to the heart of the famous Penedès wine region. We visit a local “celler”, where our English-speaking guide Ilona takes us through the rolling eco-vineyards full of stories. You will discover why this region is the cradle of many quality wines. Of course, we end with a tasting of some refined local wines.

Free lunch in Sitges (not included). In the afternoon, Dieter takes you on a leisurely walk along the beach with fascinating facts and local anecdotes about the charming coastal town of Sitges, known for its bohemian lifestyle, artists and famous gay scene. We relax for a while on the beach or enjoy a glass of cava overlooking the Mediterranean sea. In the evening, we will bring out our inner chefs and prepare our own paella in our luxury villa, under the guidance of an experienced chef.

Thursday 6/11/’25: Catalan culture

After breakfast, Dieter will take you to the village of Castellet with its panoramic views and charming castle. On the way, we will soak up the atmosphere in some local Catalan villages. The ideal moment for some beautiful photos! Free lunch with the group.

In the afternoon, enjoy an oasis of peace in our villa, or join us on a hike through the Garraf Natural Park. You can also visit Sitges on your own. Free dinner.

Friday 7/11/’25: Barna & the Montjuïc hill

After breakfast, we check out of our villa in Sitges. We take the train back to where our trip began: Barcelona! We check into our charming city hotel and find a nice place for lunch.

In the afternoon, Dieter will take you up Montjuïc hill to tell you all about the Olympic Games, which put Barcelona on the map in 1992. Here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the city! We'll finish off with a nice drink. Free dinner with tapas (optional).

Saturday 8/11/’25: Barcelona by e-bike

The day starts with a hearty breakfast at the hotel. Afterwards, you will discover the highlights of the city with Dieter during a delightful e-bike tour.

Afterwards, you can fill in your own programme: a visit to one of Gaudí's buildings, a museum of your choice or a nice walk through the local neighbourhoods of Barna. Free dinner at the Mexican restaurant near our hotel (optional).

Sunday 9/11/’25: Architecture galore

Ready for an architectural gem? Dieter will take you to the Hospital de Sant Pau, a former hospital that has grown into the largest modernist complex in the world. It may not be Gaudí, but it is just as impressive. This is a piece of world heritage that is truly remarkable.

Free lunch. Afterwards, you have a whole afternoon and evening to fill in as you wish. You can relax by the sea at the popular gay beach Mar Bella, plan one last cultural visit or stroll through the neighbourhoods. There's plenty to choose from!

Monday 10/11/’25: ¡Adéu Barna!

We check out of the hotel. Depending on your return flight, you can enjoy one last moment of freedom. Dieter will wave you off in Barcelona before you fly back home. Time to reminisce about a wonderful week in Sitges and Barcelona!
