Mark organized all our tours in Tarragona and Barcelona (as well as in some neighboring regions), solving a complex puzzle of locations and schedules, and making sure we would be able to visit as many places as possible in the most efficient way in the time we had. The venues Mark suggested allowed me to have a comprehensive view of the regions, their history and their culture. Moreover, he has a keen skill to accommodate any unforeseen events that may pop up during visits.  

Throughout our tours, Mark demonstrated vast knowledge of the many subjects that arose, ranging from the Roman occupation of the region to Cataluña’s role in the development and expansion of the Crown of Aragon, to Catalan Modernism. What is also noteworthy is his ability to connect the diverse topics covered in the tours, such as the resonance of Barcelona County’s medieval architecture in Catalan Modernism, and to correlate what we saw in the different sites we visited.   

Also commendable is Mark’s eagerness to share his knowledge and his availability to answer my — sometimes tough — questions and to delve deeper into the points I was most interested in. All these skills combined allowed him to convey a huge amount of information in a light and entertaining way.

In addition, he made sure that I would enjoy the experience from a local perspective rather than from a touristic one, discussing interesting aspects of Catalan routine and enabling me to approach their day-by-day life. 

Finally, he provided me with several recommendations on further readings and subjects to investigate, not to mention the many ideas we came up with for future trips.

Overall, this was a fun experience – one that I am looking forward to repeating.

After having attended several Context Conversations with Guillem online, this was the opportunity to have an in-person tour with him in Barcelona. He organized a comprehensive tour on Catalan Modernism, comprising some of the most significant works of the movement in Barcelona, such as the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, and the Casa Milà, by Gaudí, which allowed me to have a better understanding of the movement, its origins and influences, the techniques applied in the construction of the buildings, and its repercussions. He was always eager to share his knowledge and to answer my questions. As an extra, while walking from the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau to the Passeig de Gracia, we strolled through the Gracia neighborhood and enjoyed a nice discussion about the day-by-day life in Barcelona. It was a very enriching and fun experience and just the first of many, I hope.
