Overview of your Barcelona tour:

Everyone calls this area the Gothic Quarter, but not me. Join me on a fascinating journey through its ancient, narrow streets and discover what I prefer to call it, and why. As a graduate in Art History, I can give you a unique insight into the area's architecture, history and art. Following in the steps of the Romans, we will walk by medieval walls, an ancestral market and a Gothic cathedral. We will discover a Jewish Quarter that still remembers gloomy but glorious times, as it stands proudly among century-old shops and buildings damaged during the Civil War. What's more, I will show you how authenticity is hidden in the details, in the secrets that lie beyond the obvious. And it is then that you will understand how only a place with roots as deep and firm as those of the 'Gothic Quarter', could have given rise to an artist of the magnitude of Picasso. In his own words, 'the place where it all began'. In this last part of the tour, we will visit his early works and discover how Pablo grew… into PICASSO

Your Barcelona tour itinerary

Do you have 2 days or 8 hours to visit the city? Then I recommend that you combine this tour with the tour 'Wonders of Gaudi'. The meet & greet point is entirely up to you. I am always happy to meet you at your hotel or any other place of your choice. However, personally I prefer to meet at the starting point of the tour, so as not to lose valuable tour time. My suggested itinerary*: - Las Ramblas: the city's most emblematic avenue, with an essential stop at its nearly 200-year-old Boqueria Market. - Roman Aqueduct and Walls: the city's founding stones - Cathedral: visit to Barcelona's only Cathedral - Jewish Heritage: discover the traces of an era - Plaça del Rei: visit to a Medieval Palace and its Throne Room - Born: the Medieval heart of industry - Picasso Museum: early works In addition to these specific tour highlights, along the way we will also discover churches and genuine, centenary shops, among other treasures. *All my tours can be customized, increasing their length and/or content.
