Fantastic town and tour

5.00The tour was amazing! It was busy with it being a Sunday, but we still managed to see the Black Madonna, taste some excellent liquors, and have some free time to wander through a farmers market. The mountain vistas are worth the trip alone. Laura, our guide, was very knowledgable of the area, given she was born there in the countryside. She did a great job at herding us along and explaining things. Overall, a fantastic way to spend half your day. Definitely will do again next time we visit Barcelona.
Well organize toor...
