Hello, my name is Marc Farré-Escofet! I am a native of Barcelona, passionate about travelling and fully committed to showing you the very best my city has to offer. In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends, in winter I am often found in the nearby Pyrenees skiing or practicing other winter sports. When summer comes, my other passion is sailing, which gives me the opportunity to explore the many coves along the Costa Brava and, if I’m lucky, to catch and eat some fine fish… With a background in Marketing, and having worked as an Export Manager for many years, I have had the opportunity to travel around the world, to meet colorful people and to learn about their cultures. I am also very fortunate to be well connected in the local tourism industry. Thanks to these experiences and my deep interest in the world of tourism I established Barcelona By Road, with an “Open Minded” vision to visitors.
