Barcelona Like a Local: By the People Who Call It Home

Keen to explore a different side of Barcelona? Like a Local is the book for you.

This isn’t your ordinary travel guide. You won’t find La Sagrada Familia and La Rambla in these pages, because that’s not where Barcelonans hang out. Instead, you’ll meet the locals at art studios, family-run bodegas and old pharmacies hosting jazz nights and that’s where this book takes you. Turn the pages to discover:

• The small businesses and community strongholds that add character to this vibrant city, recommended by true locals.
• 6 themed walking tours dedicated to specific experiences such as vintage shopping and beautiful beaches.
• A beautiful gift book for anyone seeking to explore Barcelona.
• Helpful ‘what3word’ addresses, so you can pinpoint all the listed sights.

Compiled by five proud locals, this stylish travel guide is packed with Barcelona’s best experiences and secret spots, handily categorized to suit your mood and needs.

Whether you’re a restless Barcelonan on the hunt for a new hangout, or a visitor keen to discover a side you won’t find in traditional guidebooks, Barcelona Like A Local will give you all the inspiration you need.
