Barcelona Gothic Quarter Walking Tour: El Born, Small Group

This Barcelona Gothic Quarter walking tour lasts two hours and goes well beyond the usual tourist route. A passionate local guide leads the small group through narrow medieval streets, where Roman walls and old squares still carry the legends of the city, and then across to El Born, an artistic district with a rebellious history.

• Hidden alleys and historic squares of the Gothic Quarter
• The legend of the Bridge of Sighs
• Santa Maria del Mar, the "Cathedral of the People"
• The mural "The World Begins With Every Kiss"
• The link between Picasso and Barcelona
• Centuries-old shops and local businesses

You pass more than ten places, and at each one the guide has a story, whether a legend, a scandal or a local secret. At the end you receive a free e-guide made by Barcelona locals, with recommendations for restaurants, rooftop bars and more.

The tour suits first-time visitors and curious travellers. It runs rain or shine, so wear comfortable shoes and bring a camera. Transport to the starting point, meals and drinks are not included.
