Meet your guide: Hi there! My name is Mercè and as a passionate linguist, I studied the intricacies of language and became the official tourist guide for Catalonia in both German and French. My love for exploring new cultures led me to spend six years in Germany and to travel extensively throughout Europe.

But my heart has always belonged to my hometown of Barcelona and, in particular, the awe-inspiring Sagrada Família. Every time I visit, I'm filled with a sense of wonder and excitement that I can't wait to share with others.

As your guide, I'll take you on a journey through the intricacies of this architectural masterpiece. I am personally invested in showing you the true magic of this symbol of Barcelona with sensitivity, respect, and a deep passion for its history and culture.
