LOST iN – Barcelona

Barcelona. You picture Gaudí, crowded beaches and familiar plazas. But that’s just the surface. Locals know a different city: the skateboarding capital of Europe, a vanguard of food and drink, an art scene with graffiti outlaws and manipulated media.

LOST iN is your inside track to the secrets so tightly guarded by locals. You’ll meet the fifth-generation wine celebrity paving the way for female sommeliers. The stage director who built an indie fashion hub. The nightclub that liberated the city. The chef who saved his family restaurant by risking it all.

Along the way, step inside a culture of secret speakeasies, surrealist dance parties, hidden restaurants and a festival that literally sets the streets on fire. We’ll even peek inside the city’s most surprising design statement: wildly theatrical bathrooms. One even doubles as a disco.

This is Mediterranean magic unlocked by the locals who make it happen. Get lost in the real Barcelona that most people will never know.

LOST iN travel guidebooks are one of a kind. Most guides try to offer a comprehensive checklist of every single thing you could possibly do in a destination. We do not make that kind of guidebook. Our guides offer an elegant, design-forward reading experience designed to give you a sense for the culture of a place. The traditional guidebook format was created before the internet, and it hasn’t changed. Our guides are lightweight, thoughtfully curated, and created with care.
