My guide Hector embodied many of the qualities of local Catalonians that made visiting Barcelona so enjoyable. He was affable, friendly, and passionate about his culture. He blended in personal anecdotes about growing up in Catalan with vignettes of local culture that personalized the tour experience in a very intimate way.
