As of now, I have not ever been to Barcelona, so this gave me a glimpse at one area of the city. Hopefully, I will visit at some time in-person to see the city, but this was a good substitute.
Guille has devised a wonderful way to see and learn about the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona - follow him around with his video camera while he describes what you are seeing. You can visualize everything in the neighborhood from the size and scale of the buildings, see the elegant shops and markets and learn about the history of this important neighborhood from the Roman Empire through the Catholic monarchs. And some street art. Guille is an engaging speaker and very knowledgable. It was one of the best seminars I have taken with Context.
Guille is a personable and knowledgeable guide. I loved ambling down the narrow. old streets of the Gothic Quarter with him.
Wonderful tour. Lots of information presented in an entertaining and personal way. I felt like I was there!
Guille, led an exceptional virtual tour.

Definitely recommend this virtual tour.
