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. .

Bike Friendly Barcelona

As the weather is growing warmer and warmer I am back out on my brompton foldable bicycle...one of my favorite ways to get around Barcelona...and if you live in Barcelona, one of the fastest!

Barcelona was was one of fifteen "bike friendly" cities listed on CNN travel.

"Barcelona's Bicing program, one of many mass bike rental systems that have popped up recently in Europe and beyond, debuted in 2007 in the Catalonian capital. An annual Bike Week is held in late May to spread the word." Cnn.com

 Whether you hire your own bike, opt for a tour,  or live in Barcelona and sign up for the Bicing bike sharing program, I can confirm that Barcelona is not only a bike friendly city it...it is a fun city to bike in!  

 My favorite agency:  

 http://okbarcelonatours.com Uses my favorite bicycle...the brompton!

During our yoga retreats this is the company I suggest using to our guests.  They have wonderful tour leaders, insider knowledge, and are extremely helpful.  Visit their website or check them out on instagram.
