Description

INCLUDES A CAVA/VERMOUTH TASTING AT THE MERCAT DE LA BOQUERÍA

We’ll wander through the alleys between La Rambla del Raval and La Rambla, one of the city’s most iconic thoroughfares, to understand Barcelona’s transformation following the confiscation of convents and church properties in the 19th century, and how it affected the social dynamics of the time.

During this guided tour, we’ll explore the vestiges—sometimes visible, sometimes hidden—of monasteries, churches, and buildings caught between the progress and spirituality of the era. We’ll discover how the emerging bourgeoisie took control of public space and transformed not only land ownership but also the very heart of Barcelona.

We’ll stroll through a place that was once a frontier, a marketplace, a convent, a bourgeois hub, and an urban center. You’ll discover everything from the most iconic spots to the lesser-known spaces that hold centuries of history.

Includes

  • Les Drassanes Reials
  • Mercado de La Boqueria
  • Font de Canaletes
  • Gran Teatre del Liceu
  • Basílica de Santa Maria del Pi
  • Güell Palace

Great tour

Friendly and knowledgeable guide, Alejandra, took us to all the interesting and off the beaten parts of the Rambla. Eating lunch (of Seafood & shellfish) in the market was unexpected and great.

A Perfect Tour with Alessia – Rambla Desconocida

Our 'Rambla Desconocida' tour with Alessia was amazing! She’s super knowledgeable, kind, and approachable, and shared so many interesting facts and stories along the way. Everything was perfectly organized and ran smoothly from start to finish—absolutely no issues at all. It was a thoughtful and well-paced experience. I’d 100% recommend her and would definitely book another tour with her!
