Overview of your Barcelona tour

This walking tour is aimed at first-time travellers and those who do not have much time in Barcelona. The nicest part of the big city, the Old Town, the part that was surrounded by the medieval wall, and some nearby districts, will open their most hidden enigmas. Would you like to see the Felip Neri square with the saddest history behind? Locals try not to scream when on it, respecting the memory of those killed there just a century ago. But we will not only talk about the past. The modern life of the city, its heartbeat will fill our whole route and definitely won't leave you indifferent. Barcelona is more than just architecture. It is a world which I will be happy to show you, at least for the 3 hours. Let's go!
