www.livingit.catWhat is Living it

Catalonia, land of traditions. In every single city, town and village there is a festival of some kind which gets all the townsfolk out in the street to celebrate. Long and unique traditions and deep-rooted customs that pass on through generations.

Our mission is to show and share with you the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Catalonia, as a valuable collection of unique traditions and customs.

We invite you to join us and discover the marvelous reality of Catalan people!

www.livingit.catExperience local

LIVING IT means mingling with Catalans and experiencing their own traditions. Going to local events, festivals and other important festivities of our calendar. Living singular customs wherever in Catalonia the event is on, instead of only visiting the country.

We believe that living the tradition the same way a local does and surrounded by locals, makes the event a unique, real and unforgettable experience for the traveler.

Travelers will feel welcome in Catalonia and will return home with far more than photos and beautiful postcards, but great experiences to explain.

Another fantastic tour. The pick up was punctual and then we were introduced to the area we were going to. Upon arrival we were given a tour of the stable and then rode through the beautiful park coming to an awesome lookout over Barcelona. After the ride we were served a beautiful lunch on the terrace. What was amazing at this stable is they let you groom the horse and saddle him and we got to cool down the horses and brush them after the ride. We love horses so we just loved the experience. The two guides helped us get online tickets for Sagrada Familia and then drove us directly there. Service like this is fantastic. We were very impressed. Lisa (The USA)

What a wonderful tour!! My guide Carla was amazing. She told me all about the small town and where the tradition came from. We also met a local who was great at giving very detailed accounts about all that was happening and where to stand to watch everything. After diner we all went to watch the main and final part. I won’t give it away but it was wonderful. Lets just say that I was given a Living It tour poncho and was running around in the sparklers with all the locals. Would definitely go back and refer this group to other people who are going to Barcelona. Brittany (Australia)

“Barbara is spirited, empathetic, and a genuine person! I shall always remember the perfection with which she organized the “Wine tasting and Calcotada” experience. She is a compassionate guide with never ending energy! Santoshi Sengupta (Índia)

“Great horse riding tour with the kids”The kids and I did the horse riding tour from Barcelona. The kids enjoyed it but are still young enough to be quite low-maintenance. From an adult perspective everything went without a hitch. The woman running it, Barbara, was very friendly and extremely patient in teaching the kids the basics of riding. She seemed to know the area very well and was able to point out a few interesting tit-bits. At the end of the ride we rewarded the horses with a few treats, which was also great fun! The food provided was good and Barbara was kind enough to email me plenty of souvenir photos afterwards, free of charge! Full marks :-)Laura H (The USA)
