My name is Luisa Batel Cohen, a tour guide in Barcelona with a unique blend of backgrounds and a passion for people, history, and storytelling.

 

Born in southern Spain and raised in Israel, I have spent the past six years living in Barcelona, diving deep into the city’s history, culture, and especially its rich Jewish heritage.

​

I created "Batealona" to share my love and knowledge of Barcelona’s Jewish Quarter and the Gothic Quarter with people from around the world.

 

With an in-depth understanding of Jewish history in Barcelona and Spain, I offer Jewish heritage tours, historical walking tours, and culinary experiences that allow visitors to discover Barcelona’s hidden gems, unique flavors, and fascinating past. I also provide customized tours designed to suit each visitor's preferences and interests, so every experience is memorable and meaningful.

​

In my tours, I combine captivating local stories, legends, and historical insights to create an experience that is both educational and enjoyable.

 

I welcome all types of groups—families, couples, solo travelers, and larger groups, including business groups and schools—and customize each tour for every group’s needs.

​

For your convenience, I offer tours in three languages: Hebrew, Spanish, and English, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and fully engaged in the experience.

​

Join me for a unique journey through Barcelona’s streets, and discover the city’s hidden stories and rich heritage in a way that goes beyond the typical tourist experience.

 

I promise a tour that is both fun and filled with new discoveries, leaving you with memories to cherish long after you’ve returned home.
