Enjoy Barcelona Withlocals

If you are planning to visit Barcelona and want to enjoy a unique experience, pay a visit to the Withlocals website.

Withlocals is a platform that was created in the Netherlands in 2003 in order to connect tourists and locals. Through the Withlocals platform, local residents can offer tourists a variety of experiences and services, as well as a more personal touristic experience.

Withlocals experiences are divided into three categories: Eat Withlocals, Tours Withlocals, and Activities Withlocals.

The platform is very easy to use. The process starts with creating a Withlocals account. After you have your personal account, use the search tool to discover the activities that are offered in the country and city that you are visiting – in this case, Barcelona. Book your Withlocals experience and finally, enjoy!

Don’t know where to start? Here are some of the most interesting experiences currently offered by Withlocals Barcelona:

Soundbox BCN: Relax Listening Sessions is an activity organized by a PhD musicologist, who takes you on listening sessions through a jackbox, a device that turns media players into listening centers, without interfering with the soundscape.

Boqueria Market tour and cooking class is a four-hour activity in which visitors can discover the history of this emblematic market and explore all its nooks and crannies. The tour is followed by a Mediterranean cooking session with ingredients bought in the market, and finally, lunch.

Delicious Basque-Asian Fusion in Penthouse is a dinner prepared by a Basque cook, who combines traditional Basque cooking with flavors he discovered during his travels.

Paella & Sagrada Família is a dinner party offered by a mother and daughter at a home with a magnificent view of Gaudí’s most famous monument.
