Tyler who was out walking guide for this morning was very friendly, and although not native to Spain, he was very knowledgeable about the city of Barcelona and was able to answer any questions from the group, He was able to take us a little off the tourist track and show interesting things that we would not normally have known were there. Well recommended.
