    Amazing tour and explanation from David, our tour guide. He was knowledgeable yet funny in his sharing of the local history. The travel agency is located a few metres away from the Sagrada Familia itself, making it an easy meeting point to reach.

    The place is very easy to find, just near Plaza Catalunya. There are a lot of people queuing up, so enter 15 to 20 minutes in advance and there will be staff to guide you. I bought a B ticket, which gives me a very close distance, and also comes with a free drink or alcohol, you can choose. The seats are all equipped with reclining chairs, which are foldable like in China. The actors worked very hard and performed well. It was my first time watching flamenco, and I was amazed by its artistry, especially the climax, which was a fast-paced footstep dance, not tap dance, but a rhythmic expression, accompanied by dance 💃, guitar 🎸 and dancers singing 🎵. It has a very exotic flavor. I didn't think much of it before, but after watching it, it is really worth seeing 👍

    Be careful the people that ask you to take photos with them. They will ask you to pay for the photo. The visiting time is short.
