guided walks in barcelona, catalonia and other bits of spain

followthebaldie.com offers rather popular half-, whole- and multi-day easy, medium and hard guided walking tours of Barcelona, Tarragona, Girona, Montserrat and the Catalan countryside, as well as longer trips to other parts of Catalonia and Spain. Groups are led be me, Trevor, and by several other gents with a rather more relaxed attitude to hair.

your options

  1. Exclusive personal guiding for people who want something smarter and more creative than official guides and other follow-the-flag offerings. Use our routes section to inspire you or just mail us a wishlist of things you want to see and do and we'll suggest a customised package.

    Although we do the standard destinations, we specialise in stuff off the beaten track--bull running in villages, unobtrusive family-run restaurants, holidays where you get to live and work with normal people on farms...

    We provide tours focused on specific interests like food and drink (this country walk and Barcelona bodega tours are favourites) and Jewish history (search Trevor's blog for words like Recuero); tranny trips for a generally gay clientele are popular and have not yet fallen foul of the law.

    Multi-day programmes may include half- or full-day sessions from outside experts on stuff like flora and fauna--for example, bird watching along the coast and inland.

  2. High-quality one-day public trips combining one of our standard routes with an unusual or downright bizarre special event or fiesta. Sign up here.

If we're all up a mountain, it may take several days to get back to you. Our apologies for any discomfort!
