I liked the way the guide explained everything. He asked us questions in a friendly way to see if we could get the answers right—some we did, some we didn’t—but it was perhaps a way to help us remember the history of the Palau de la Música Catalana. The Palau is truly extraordinarily beautiful. The stained-glass windows in the central ceiling, the flowers all around, and on the columns are a fantastic example of meticulous craftsmanship. We were also lucky enough to hear the rehearsal that was taking place when we arrived.

I have seen 2 concerts there and loved being able to learn about the history and see some of the behind the scenes. Our guide was very good, and it was a thrill to stand in the stage.

The information provided during the tour was very interesting. It was presented in a very confident manner, and the icing on the cake was the organ music in the great hall, which gave me goosebumps.
