Description

In this route we will go from Passeig de Gràcia to the Palau de la Música, in the Born neighborhood.
We will start at Plaza Cinc d'Oros, the famous intersection of Passeig de Gràcia with the city's main artery, Avenida Diagonal. We will stroll along this opulent boulevard, flanked by facades of dazzling architectural appeal. We will stop in front of La Pedrera, Casa Milà and Casa Batlló, Antoni Gaudí's masterpieces that crown Barcelona's skyline. We will discover how Gaudí conceived these structures of ethereal imagination and how he ingeniously sculpted these buildings with their surreal, undulating rooftops.

Next, we will delve into the details of other original facades, such as Casa Amatller, Casa Lleó i Morera and Casa de la viuda Marfà, among other curious buildings that will immediately catch your attention. Finally, we'll conclude this endless stream of anecdotes and stories very close to Plaza Cataluña, a meeting place for locals and tourists for more than a century.

  • Casa Lleó Morera
  • Casa Milà
  • Plaça de Catalunya

Una nueva e increíble perspectiva de Barcelona

Un tour diferente y muy bien pensado que nos hizo descubrir aún más esta bella ciudad. Muy ameno y muy bien explicado. Recomendamos mucho los tours con Alessia por su trato amable y su forma tan buena de transmitir su conocimiento y su pasión. 5/5!

Gran recorrido por BCN

Alessia la guía, tiene gran conocimiento de los sitios a los que te lleva. Le hicimos varias preguntas y nos respondió todo. Algo que me gustó es que llevaba fotos como apoyo visual para cosas que explicaba y que a simple vista no se ven. Conocimos muchos datos interesantes que no sabíamos

The Architectural Secrets of Eixample

Alessia was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Passeig de Gràcia. She was friendly, warm, and professional throughout the entire tour. It genuinely felt like taking a walk with my bestie, while discovering a new place, its architectural history, remarkable structures, and culture. Coming from an architectural background myself, and visiting Barcelona, Spain for the first time, I really appreciated the depth of knowledge and passion Alessia brought to the experience. The tour was absolutely worth it, and I enjoyed every moment! I highly recommend meeting Alessia if you’re looking to explore Barcelona in a fun, engaging, and insightful way. You will be astonished!❤️????????????????
