This is a refined Fernwayer-exclusive exploration of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter — where history, legend, tradition, and gastronomy intertwine in the city’s most storied district. This walk leads you through ancient Roman foundations, medieval alleys, hidden courtyards, and the atmospheric Jewish Quarter “El Call.” Along the way, vibrant historic and cultural layers reveal themselves: Roman Barcino to Catalan folklore and modern artistic expressions. Many of the narrow streets still follow the Roman grid of Barcino, tracing the city’s ancient plan.

Between elegant stone façades and centuries-old cloisters, pause to savor a traditional Catalan aperitif and authentic tapas in spots beloved by locals. No rush: this is an experience designed to be lived with all the senses, at a gentle, unhurried pace. Stories, symbolism, legends, architecture, and flavor accompany you — culminating in the quiet pleasure of discovering Barcelona as a local, immersed in its Mediterranean spirit.

This experience is not only about where you walk, but how you experience it. The Gothic Quarter may be one of Barcelona’s most visited districts, yet most tours take the same routes and few make space for contemplation. Here, the difference lies in perspective: a thoughtful exploration led by someone who knows how to reveal what is often passed by.

In hidden courtyards, you might meet Roman columns, and sections of Barcino’s walls still thread through today’s streets. In El Call, lanes like Sant Domènec del Call lead to one of Europe’s oldest synagogues—marking a Jewish presence that predates the 1391 riots. You’ll see  both legends and historical events held in stone. 

You will savor Catalan tastes where locals gather, but the true luxury of this walk is in its authentic immersion: being welcomed into the city’s rhythm, discovering beauty in hidden corners, and experiencing the Gothic Quarter with the depth and sensitivity usually reserved for those who call it home.

In Madrid, there’s a special ritual before lunch called the aperitivo — a time to enjoy a few small bites and a drink while socializing before the main meal. It is one of Madrid’s most cherished rituals — a pause between work and lunch that turns into a moment of connection. Nothing captures it better than the Gilda, a traditional pintxo from the Basque Country: a cocktail stick skewering an olive, an anchovy, and a pickled guindilla pepper. Over time, it has become a popular tapa throughout Spain.

In this midday tour, you'll try a couple of versions of this legendary bite and get a taste of another of Madrid’s iconic tapas, hand-picked by your host.

These are places where locals gather for their aperitivo, surrounded by the hum of conversation and the unmistakable Madrileño energy.

Along the way, you’ll uncover the history of tapas culture and the traditions that shaped Madrid’s way of eating. You’ll also get insider tips on where to eat and drink for the rest of your stay — from timeless tabernas to contemporary spots known mainly to locals. This is an experience that’s authentic, relaxed, and the perfect introduction to La Latina.

There are countless places to eat in Madrid, but Victor ensures you taste some of the city’s highest-quality, informal food culture — and leave with plenty of ideas for how to make the most of the rest of your time in the city.

Morocco

This is our essential storytelling session—if you only have an hour in Marrakesh, make it this one.  It brings Morocco’s oral heritage to life through folktales, historical narratives, and epic sagas. In a traditional riad or museum, you'll be guided by a professional storyteller who draws from Morocco’s deep well of narrative tradition. In just 45–60 minutes, you’ll be taken on a mythical journey into the heart of Moroccan culture, shaped by generations of spoken word.

You’re invited to sit back with a cup of Moroccan tea as a live musician plays soothing, rhythmic melodies that deepen the emotional resonance of each story. The experience is atmospheric and immersive, led by a trained storyteller who honors a centuries-old tradition where storytelling served as both memory and cultural transmission.

Whether you're seeking connection or simply curious, this is a rare and unforgettable window into Morocco’s soul.

This experience connects you to a living tradition that has shaped Moroccan culture for over a thousand years. Storytelling, or hikayat, was once a nightly ritual in homes—an act of passing down wisdom through tales of princes, sultans, and tricksters. It was also the beating heart of Marrakesh’s famed Jemaa el-Fnaa, where hlaykias (storytellers) once held crowds rapt with only a stool, a prop, and their voice.

Today, as modern life and technology threaten the future of this oral heritage, a new generation of Moroccan storytellers is working to preserve and reimagine it. This experience is part of that revival. Set in intimate spaces in the medina, it captures the spirit of the traditional hikayat circle—enhanced by live music and mint tea.

It’s a chance to slow down, listen deeply, and witness a tradition once on the brink of fading now finding new life through voice, rhythm, and shared memory. This truly captures the intimacy, legacy, and human connection at the heart of hikayat.

Portugal

This experience takes you to one of the smallest olive groves in the Alentejo. With only 231 olive trees, João’s farm has been in the family for three generations, but it was only in 2015 that he started producing olive oil.

João's grandfather planted most olive trees, but some have been here for thousands of years. Unlike the super-intensive olive groves common in the area, João's traditional approach relies solely on rainwater and eschews chemical use. This experience delves into the rich history of the farm and the meticulous process of olive oil production. You'll witness unique grafting techniques that allow different olive varieties to grow from a single tree. 

The experience includes learning the art and science of olive oil tasting, understanding the nuances between northern and southern Portuguese olive oils, and savoring a lunch that features regional products and wines from local producers that João knows personally.

You will need to drive or arrange your own transport to João's farm which is about 25 minutes away from the center of Évora.

What sets this experience apart is its deep connection to tradition and the land. João's farm provides a living history of olive cultivation. The rarity of having only 231 olive trees in a region dominated by large-scale operations makes this farm a unique sanctuary of sustainable and artisanal practices. The absence of chemical interventions and reliance on natural rainwater for irrigation underscores a commitment to preserving the environment and producing authentic olive oil. 

Additionally, the farm's historical significance, with ancient trees and time-honored grafting techniques, provides a rare glimpse into the heritage of olive farming. The personal connection and storytelling that João brings, with his extensive knowledge and passion for his grandfather's legacy, makes this experience truly special. The regional lunch featuring local products and wines, sourced from João's personal connections with small producers, adds an intimate culinary dimension hard to find elsewhere.

3 days in Dubrovnik with Old Town walks, exploring Fort Lovrijenac, Croatian food, and Banje Beach.

This 7-day itinerary offers a deep and personal exploration of Lisbon and its surrounding landscapes—curated by architect, artist, and local guide Tiago Miranda Neiva. You’ll move between Lisbon, Mafra, Ericeira, Setúbal, Évora, and Alqueva, using Lisbon as your hub for the first five days before transitioning into the open spaces of Alentejo. Each experience reflects Tiago’s belief that Lisbon—and Portugal more broadly—reveals its truth only when you engage with it slowly, sensitively, and through all your senses.
✧ In Lisbon, you’ll begin with immersive walking tours of the historic center and the Alfama district, including a soulful evening of live Fado. You’ll explore lush botanical gardens, secret city vantage points, and meet with local elders to hear lived histories.
✧ In the Setúbal Peninsula, you’ll sip and savor the natural and culinary abundance of the region, from coastal wines to Arrábida’s dramatic cliffs.
✧ In Ericeira and Mafra, the focus shifts to surf, light, and rhythm—along with time to admire the monumental beauty of Mafra Palace.
✧ The final days take you east, into Évora, Monsaraz, and Alqueva—where you’ll find silence, sweeping views, and stories rooted in the Alentejo earth.
This itinerary balances movement and stillness, city and countryside, design and tradition. It's a route shaped not only by places, but by one person's deep relationship to them.

When asked about his love for Lisbon, Tiago’s enthusiasm is immediate: “I love my city! I really love the historic center of Lisbon!” Though he didn’t always feel that way. Growing up on the city’s outskirts, it wasn’t until returning after time abroad that he saw it anew. “It was as a young and independent adult with an arts and architecture degree, and with the enthusiasm to explore — that I realized how beautiful, diverse, and interesting my city is.”
For Tiago, connecting with a culture means full immersion. “You have to experience it with open eyes, heart, and mind,” he says. That means talking to locals, walking unfamiliar routes, listening more than looking. “Lisbon isn’t just to be seen, but touched, smelled, and tasted.” It’s not a checklist—it’s a presence.
He also names two challenges: First, Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods are deeply distinct—each like its own mini-city. “Lisbon is multidimensional. It cannot—and should not—be rushed.” Second, mass tourism threatens the local character he cherishes. Responsible travel, he says, is essential to preserve the culture.
As tourism evolves, Tiago points toward Lisbon’s under-known strengths. “Gastronomy, street art, tiles, contemporary architecture… there’s so much more to discover!”
