Barcelona

Casa Batlló, La Pedrera and the Sagrada Família — the city Gaudí bent into shape.

Roman walls, medieval guild streets and the squares where the city argued with itself.

The only vineyard inside the city limits, farmed by a cooperative up in Collserola.

Tapas, vermut and Catalan wines through the Boqueria and El Born — six tastings included.

Five classic tapas stops in Gràcia — pintxos, croquetas and a final vermut, no tourist traps.

Plague, pogrom and inquisition — two hours through the old city, stopping at three medieval bars.

Three hours out of Port Olímpic on a crewed yacht, back as the city lights come on.
