    Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar

    You might not think a basilica is an appropriate starting point for a nightlife adventure, but you’d be wrong. Catalans can get a little crazy after dark and monks and nuns have always been a part of that history. We’ll start with an introduction into Barcelona’s bizarre traditions before heading to our first stop.

    El Born

    El Born is Barcelona's former red light district and here you'll learn the secrets of spotting a 14th century brothel along with other legends surrounding the sex culture of the city. We'll also head to a hidden graveyard for a dose of paranormal activity before visiting other stops where we'll try Spanish vermouth, white sangria and a local shot, unique to Barcelona.
