A Journey In Time Through Barcelona's Gothic Quarter
Overview
I will take you on a journey through time in Barcelona's oldest neighborhood, showing you both its most famous sites and its hidden gems. I will tell you about Catalan traditions, revealing not only curious facts but also stories you won't find in any guidebook.
I will accompany you to the Roman necropolis to discover the origins of Barcelona, tell you the sad history of the Jewish quarter, and show you the marks left by the civil war.
We will talk about saints and anarchists, kings and peasants, thieves and artists, chocolate and ceramics. As we dive into this journey through time, I will be able to give you tips and recommendations for the rest of your stay.
I am a guide with degrees in geography, architecture and urban planning, and I look forward to passing on my knowledge and passion so that you can savor the essence of this magnificent city during your stay.
