Itinerary
It is one of the largest squares in Spain and one of the most important places in Barcelona, the Plaza de Catalunya, which has an area of 30,000 square meters.
We will go down one of the most beautiful and famous streets in the city, Las Ramblas, this street goes down through flower and souvenir stalls until we reach the old port of the city by the sea.
This fountain was one of the gateways to Barcelona when it was a walled city. Today it has a ceramic decoration that reflects an everyday scene from eighteenth-century Barcelona
We will pass under one of the most photographed elements of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona. We will know the secrets it hides and we can take pictures under it
This plaza is the current administrative and political center of the city. Here we find the town hall, and the Palau de la Generalitat. In Roman times, two great communication routes of the city crossed here: the Cardo and the Decumanus.
In the center of the Gothic Quarter, there is the Barcelona Cathedral. It was built on the foundations of the original early Christian basilica, and the later Romanesque Cathedral, and is Gothic in style.
Once the tour is over, you will be able to taste a selection of tapas in this bar, provided you have chosen the option, and extend the night in this magnificent establishment as much as you want.

Great Tour, Tour Guide & Food!!!
Montserrat was an amazing tour guide. She was friendly, charming and highly astute in her knowledge of the city. We learned so much more than we thought we would. We would recommend this tour, and specifically to her, to quite literally everyone we would come across. She was particularly studied in the layers of Barclonetan history across the ages and how it has all culminated into present day. Additionally, she provided amazing recommendations that we plan to utilize the rest of our trip. Absolutely one of a kind tour guide!
Enrique rocks!
It was really interesting and Enrique was very kind, funny and patient. Would totally recommend!!! 🩷
