About BCN & Beyond
The Story Behind Barcelona & Beyond
We are a family of three -affectionately known as The Three Musketeers, who have made Catalonia our home, embracing its culture, language, traditions, and the people who give this place its character.
We are not exactly your typical family, and perhaps that’s the part of what has shaped the way we experience the world. Our son sees and engages with life differently, and over the years, we’ve discovered that we have as much to learn from him as we have to teach. He’s helped us slow down, notice things we might otherwise overlook, and appreciate the beauty of experiencing the world through another perspective.
That spirit of curiosity has shaped our adventures together. Whether exploring a small village, discovering a local tradition, sharing a meal, or simply listening to someone’s story, we’ve found that the most meaningful experiences often happen when we slow down and pay attention.
Over time, our love of travel has grown into something more, a passion for cultural discovery, storytelling, and the connections between people and place.
That’s the heart of BCN & Beyond.
Rooted in Place. Inspired by People.
Beyond Places. Into Stories.
We believe every place has a story worth telling -and the most meaningful stories often begin with the people who call it home.
Through BCN & Beyond, we explore the connections between culture, creativity, history, and everyday life. We meet people who preserve traditions, artists who reinterpret them, and communities whose stories reveal the character of the places they inhabit.
Our curiosity begins in Girona, Barcelona, and Catalonia, but it doesn’t end there. We believe that stories rooted in a particular place can reveal something universal about belonging, identity, beauty, and what it means to be human.
Whether through a conversation, a cultural encounter, a thoughtful reflection, or a journey through an unfamiliar neighborhood, our hope is to inspire a deeper appreciation for the world around us -and the people who share it.
The Curiosity Behind the Stories
We believe there’s more to the world than we often take the time to notice.
Living in Catalonia has deepened our curiosity about the people, cultures, and stories that shape the places we inhabit.
BCN & Beyond was born from a desire to explore those connections, share what we discover, and invite others to look beyond the familiar -because sometimes discovering the world changes the way we see it.
