Hallo! Ich bin die Yessi :-) An der mexikanischen Pazifikküste geboren und im Süden Deutschlands aufgewachsen bin ich eine wasch echte bayerische Mexikanerin, die hier in Spanien glücklich gestrandet ist. Als leidenschaftliche Videografin und Dokumentarfilmerin bin ich auch eine große Bewunderin von Geschichte, Kunst, Anthropologie und Sprachen. Als ich 15 war verliebte ich mich in Barcelona und nun lebe ich hier seit 5 Jahren. Seitdem nimmt Barcelona einen ganz besonderen Platz in meinem Herzen ein ,da ich endlich hier meine kulturelle Mitte finden konnte. Komme mit mir auf eine Reise durch die Geschichte und Gassen dieser einzigartigen Stadt bei der ich dir nicht nur die bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Altstadt zeigen werde, sondern auch versteckte Ecken und faszinierende Geschichten. Meine Touren sind für alle gedacht, die ein authentisches und bereicherndes Erlebnis suchen – voller spannender Details, Anekdoten geprägt durch meinen mexikanisch-bayerischen Charme und meiner Liebe zu menschlichen Geschichten. Lass uns eine schöne Zeit verbringen und entdecke Barcelona, wie du es noch nie zuvor gesehen hast!

Carrer d'Estruc
Carrer d'Estruc is a small alley in the Barri Gòtic that connects Fontanella and Comtal streets—just a few minutes from Plaça de Catalunya. It is known for its “magical” aura: according to tradition, the astrologer/sorcerer Astruc Sacanera lived here in the 15th century; ‘astruc’ also refers to a medicinal herb, and the “pedra escurçonera” was sold in the street, which was believed to be effective against snake bites and rabies.

Die 4Gats
Els Quatre Gats ("The Four Cats") is a legendary café, cabaret, and restaurant located on the ground floor of Casa Martí, a modernist building in Barcelona designed by architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch. Opened on June 12, 1897 by Pere Romeu, along with artists Santiago Rusiñol, Ramon Casas, and Miquel Utrillo, it was inspired by the bohemian atmosphere of the Parisian cabaret Le Chat Noir.
