Why you're safe with the holiday experts

DERTOUR is part of the DERTOUR GmbH group of Frankfurt - one of the world's leading tour operators . We also hold our own ATOL and are members of ABTA.

We've been creating perfect tailor-made holidays to the heart of Europe for 50 years. A lot has changed in that time, but one thing that has always remained the same is our total focus on serving you in the very best way that we can. This includes ensuring your satisfaction and security. It's why DERTOUR is fully licenced with our own ATOL and is also adheres to all the rules and principles of ABTA.

ATOL is a financial protection scheme for holidaymakers travelling on an air inclusive holiday, which is managed by the Civil Aviation Authority. This protects you from losing your money or from being stranded overseas in the very unlikely event that DERTOUR should go out of business. Our Air Travel Organiser's Licence (ATOL) number is ATOL 1839.

When you buy an ATOL protected air inclusive holiday* from us, you will receive a confirmation invoice from us (or via our authorised agent through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our ATOL.

* The air inclusive holidays we arrange are ATOL protected providing either the person who pays for the booking is present in the UK when the booking is made or the first leg of any flight or flights we arrange for you commences in the UK. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk

ABTA was created in 1950 by 22 leading travel companies. It now represents over 5,000 travel agencies and more than 900 tour operators, right across the British Isles. ABTA helps to maintain the highest standards of trading practice for the travel industry and its customers. The ABTA logo is a sign that you can expect choice, value and high levels of service from DERTOUR.

DERTOUR is also fully committed to always try to provide an alternative holiday or route in times of disruption that is out of our control, such as in the event of volcanic ash, disruption to air travel due to heavy snowfall or an airline strike grounding aircraft.

If you have any questions about our ABTA membership or the financial protection provided under our ATOL, please don't hesitate to call us on 020 7290 1104.

Destinations » Spain » Barcelona Travel Guide

Barcelona is located in the northeastern part of the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula. It is the capital of Catalonia, a region with its own language, character and history - many Catalans think of their home as a separate country. It is situated between the sea and the mountains, and has found a formidable balance, with one foot in tradition and the other in the avant-garde. Barcelona has the reputation of being the most cosmopolitan, modern and avant-garde city in Spain but it's also a home for gorgeous beaches, serene parks and gardens, uniquely preserved medieval historic quarter Barri Gotic, fine museums and elegant restaurants with gastronomical delights. Your trip to Barcelona will most likely be a journey of discovery that you will never forget!

Barcelona is an extremely practical city for shopping, with around 35,000 shops, mainly all concentrated in the centre and the historical city.

Barcelona can boast some of the finest restaurants in Spain. You can get food from any part of the world in Barcelona, but make sure you try some Catalan food which has a reputation for producing some of Spain's finest cuisine.

La Sagrada Familia

This masterpiece of modernist architecture, built by Antoni Gaudi, pushes the gothic style to the extreme and is the only cathedral in the world still under construction, since 1882. Not to be missed!

Casa Batlló

One of the strangest residential buildings in Europe, this is Gaudí at his hallucinogenic best.

Santa Maria del Mar : XIV century Gothic Church with famous stained glass windows.

Picasso Museum

Barcelona's most visited museum.

Nou Camp:

FC Barcelona museum & stadium

MACBA:

Tibidabo hill

At 542m (1778ft), it is the highest hill in the wooded range that forms the backdrop to Barcelona. If the air's clear, it's a great place for views over the city.
