Overview

Did you know that Gaudí wasn’t the only architect who hid secret messages in his buildings? Or that right in the heart of the city there has been a sanatorium for priests since the 15th century?

This isn’t just any tour. It’s 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’ll try to decipher.

I invite you to join me on this journey through the city’s art and medieval and modern history, where surprising anecdotes, forgotten events, and illustrious figures who once walked the very same streets we’ll tread are all intertwined.

What will we see?

- The Gothic Quarter: stories of guilds, power, and the Inquisition (Santa Maria del Pi, Hospital de Sant Sever, the Cathedral, Plaça del Rei...)
- El Born: We’ll conclude by exploring daily life in medieval and modern Barcelona through its festivals, cuisine, and carnivals...

Things to note

Are you from Barcelona? This tour is perfect for getting to know the city’s hidden details and best-kept secrets. Not only will we see some of the most important sites, but we’ll also explore lesser-known streets and hidden corners (stopping to admire the gargoyles, the hidden symbolism, and the inscriptions on the buildings...). Whether you’re from Barcelona or not, on this tour I’ll give you the chance to see the city through a new lens and enjoy the legends and myths that surround its past and present.
