Ever dreamed of twirling into a culinary adventure while trying not to spill your sangria? Barcelona DMC is excited to offer your clients an unforgettable evening filled with delicious tapas, vibrant flamenco, and a whole lot of fun. Think of it as a tapas tour with a side of tango—minus the tangled dance partners!

A Sensory Delight

Tapas feasting:

To start off their evening, your clients will be taken on a tantalising walk down the tapas route before even stepping out to explore the Barcelona shops. Picture this: they’ll be hopping from one lively bar to another, sampling a delectable array of small plates that range from sizzling chorizo to creamy croquetas. It’s better than the proggressive dinner parties which have minimal laughter but a lot of small talk and uneasy moments. And don’t worry about those calorie counts—this is Barcelona, where tapas are practically a food group!

Flamenco Fabulosity:

Next, it’s time to unleash their inner dancer (or at least cheer on those who are braver) with a lively flamenco show. With its passionate rhythms, dramatic footwork, and flamboyant costumes, flamenco is the kind of performance that makes everyone want to snap their fingers and shout, “Olé!” Whether they’re clapping along or simply soaking in the vibrant atmosphere, this is one cultural experience they won’t forget.

They Dance as if No One is Watching:

After the show your clients get the opportunity to try out the flamenco dances they have just watched. A local dance instructor will lead a light-hearted dance class where everyone can try their hand (or feet) at the traditional Spanish steps. Professional skills are not necessary, come along with the music only and the ability to make fun of your two left feet!

Enjoy the Evening:

Late into the night, there will be some informal socialising at a charming local spot, where they can swap stories, have more tapas and reflect on their dancing prowess—or lack thereof.. This time, glass of wine, of the Spanish variety, amidst the aftermath of an exciting night is a good way to round up their adventure in Barcelona.

A Night to Remember:

This is not just another night; this is a celebration that brings together the vibrant taste of Barcelona and flamenco to form the best entertainment. Your clients will leave with full bellies, happy hearts, and perhaps a few new dance moves that will have them reminiscing long after they’ve returned home.

Barcelona Art Tour: Discover Barcelona’s Creative Soul

Ever wanted to rub shoulders with artistic geniuses without actually having to paint a masterpiece? Barcelona DMC is thrilled to offer your clients the “Art Crawl”—an immersive tour that takes them through the city’s most iconic museums, where Picasso and Miró’s masterpieces are waiting to wow them. Think of it as a cultural deep dive without the paint stains!

A Stroll Through Barcelona’s Artistic Masterpieces

Picasso's Playground:

Start off, at Picasso Museum located in Gothic Quarter, which will be followed by a walking tour around known museums. Here visitors will wander through rooms full of over 4,000 pieces done by the artist during his life from a wunderkind until he became one of those innovative talents that upset art world order. For those who are Instagramming or have seen enough arts nudes for their lifespan, let everyone find just something for inspiration.

Miró Whimsical World:

Then it’s Fundació Joan Miró coming up next, where things take a more surreal turn. It feels like entering into dreamworlds with mirrored shattered images and splattered colours that are very old fashioned and relevant as well. While still enjoying breathtaking views on Montjuïc hill, let your clients imagine them visiting this artist’s work – starting from bright coloured pictures and ending with his vivid sculptures. That means you’ll be thrilled by paintings made out of air!

Stories Behind the Strokes:

For these distinguished galleries there are expert guides ready to help customers understand what has been painted so far and share curiosities about every piece. Inside stories on artists’ lives, world art gossip along with other related information will also be shared by your guide. Who knew that even art history could be such fun?

Café Culture & Creative Conversations:

Once they have imbibed the richest culture of art, your clients can discuss their favorite pieces with a cup of café con leche from one of Barcelona’s local cafes. Picasso or Miró – who is more avant-garde? They’ll argue it out while basking in the laid-back Barcelona atmosphere.

A Journey Through Time and Talent:

This is not just about visiting museums; this is a journey through minds of two influential artists of 20th century. Your customers will go home having acquired an even greater appreciation for art, scored a full album on their phones by capturing masterpieces, and maybe got even more ideas to work on.
