Introducing Leave it to Barcelona


Barcelona is a city that will seduce you with it's magic.. The guidebooks may point you to the Ramblas or to Gaudis' dream like architecture, and many tourists believe that by having seen those sights, they have seen it all. The guidebook- offered experience is beautiful and informative
yet , worlds away from the culture, the cuisine, the unique shopping opportunities, the smells, and the sights that have led to my love affair with this Catalan capital.

For several years Barcelona has been my home, and this Catalan capital has seduced me. I shop ,dine and exercise daily amid the bustling crowds. My daily walks, runs and bicycle rides bring me to Park Guell, Sagrada Familia,and beachfront. But I also know the side streets and the quiet, hidden treasures.

Barcelona offers spacious mansions, modernist architecture and tremendous culinary offerings with wonderful spaces to exercise. I believe that an adventurous traveler who is alone or with friends would completely enjoy joining a group of like minded people for a 6 night yoga and cultural retreat. I want to begin providing such an opportunity!

My three year exploration of Barcelona and the surrounding areas has provided me with a unique perspective. I have discovered a wealth of dynamic and exciting experiences and offerings which are Barcelona's secret Gems . During your stay with Leave it to Barcelona our days will be filled with yoga, Pilates, exercise, cultural excursions, walking tours, insider shopping, and some of the best food and wine to be found. The activities and locations you will enjoy with Leave it to Barcelona are incredibly special. I have hand picked every location, culinary experience, shopping find and local treasure to provide the experience that can only come from visiting with a local.

We are offering our first "friends and family" retreat Saturday March 22 through Friday the 28th which will be offered at a very low introductory one time price followed by our official launch Saturday October 11th to the 17th. .

I hope to see you in Barcelona!

Plain clothes yoga...

After a week of scouting and yoga we came up to the Pyrenees for our weekend recharge.  This weeks find was Bcn Brand sneakers.  I have always had a hard time finding a sneaker that doesn't make me stand out as a tourist, yet at the same time doesn't send a full hipster vibe.  (which I love but it isn't my personal style) 

So you will see below, plain clothes yoga, in a headstand, in calzedonia leggings, barbour sweater, my beloved Stella Mccartney whistle necklace and of course...Bcn Brand sneakers.  We seriously can't get enough of them. 

My husband who is half Lebanese, half WASP, never wears sneakers bought a pair and hasn't taken them off!  

Get your own pair today in a huge variety of colors.  They will be coming in to our hotel in March to sell directly to our guests but if you're unable to make it to Barcelona anytime soon and you just can't wait visit them right here and order your pair today.
