DinnerSee brilliant Barcelona, a city of graceful Gothic churches, wrought-iron balconies and wide, grand avenues filled with outdoor cafés. Throughout the city, daringly innovative buildings sit side-by-side with the medieval past. A licensed, local guide will show you some of the high points of this architectural showcase. First stop: the pointy spires of the La Sagrada Familia (Church of the Holy Family), a half-finished church complex that became the obsession of Barcelona's famously eccentric architectural genius, Antoni Gaudí. Then, step back to the past with a journey up to Montjuïc (Hill of the Jews) and see the fortress built atop an ancient Jewish cemetery. Site of numerous battles to control Barcelona, this hill was also the location of the 1992 Olympics. Spend time in Parc Güell, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, 'Works of Antoni Gaudi.' Designed primarily by Gaudí, particularly interesting areas of the park include a mosaic pagoda, a lizard fountain spitting water, an undulating bench decorated with ceramic fragments, and an array of unique Doric columns, which are hollow and serve as part of Gaudí's drainage system.

Girona is a beautiful medieval city that stands out from the local landscape. Populated at one point by Romans, Arabs, and Jews, the city has a unique archeological heritage that is well worth a visit. We begin our walking tour along the Riu Onyar, admiring Girona's best-known view, before exploring the Rambla de la Libertat and El Call, the medieval Jewish Quarter, where the first Hanukkah celebration since the Jewish expulsion of 1482 was celebrated in 1998.
