Overview

did you know that Gaudí was not the only architect who hid secret messages in his buildings? Or that in the heart of the city there was a sanatorium for priests since the 15th century?

This is not just any tour. It is a journey through the stories and legends still hidden in Barcelona since medieval times, where every stone, every symbol and every coat of arms holds a secret that together we will try to decipher.

I invite you to follow this journey through the art and medieval and modern history of the city, in which surprising anecdotes, forgotten events and illustrious characters that once walked the same streets we will tread.

what will we see?

- The Gothic Quarter: stories of guilds, power, Inquisition (the Jewish quarter, Plaça de Sant Jaume, Felip Neri, the cathedral, Plaça del Rei)
- El Born: we will end up knowing the daily life of medieval and modern Barcelona through its festivals, its gastronomy, its carnivals (El Born archaeological site, carrer de Montcada, Santa Maria del Mar church)

do you dare to see Barcelona with different eyes?

Things to note

are you from Barcelona? This tour is ideal to get to know better the details and the best kept secrets of this city. We will not only see some of the most important places; we will also explore less known streets and corners (stopping in its gargoyles, in the hidden symbology, in the inscriptions of the buildings...). Whether you are from Barcelona or not, on this tour I offer you the chance to look at the city with different eyes and enjoy the legends and myths that surround its past.
