Highlights
Immerse with us into captivating legends from the past that can be seen everywhere in the city once you know them. Understand how architects like Gaudí were inspired by them and left a lasting impact on Barcelona. Why is there a dragon on the roof top? Why was a bat decisive in a battle? Where is the House of Bones? What´s the legend behind the Catalan flag? How to put this into the context of the current independence movement? During the two-hours walk we will make the connection from medieval Catalan history and legends to what inspired Gaudí and other architects when designing the residential buildings along the grand boulevard of Passeig de Gracia. From street pavement to lamp posts – all have a story that we want to tell you! If you love history brought to life by passionate storytellers and you want to enjoy the intimacy of a small group then this is your experience. After these two hours you will discover details you have not noticed before. See the city with different eyes!

We will walk down the grand boulevard of Passeig de Gracia. From street pavement to lamp posts – all have a story that we want to tell you!
Certainly one of Gaudi´s masterpieces in Barcelona. We will explain the exterior façade and the ingenious creativity of Gaudi when designing this building.
Casa Amatller is one of the most fascinating Modernist buildings for us in Barcelona. Many guests do not pay much attention to it, but we are sure that we can make you as enthusiastic as we are when you have learned about its history and architecture.
Casa Morera is a stunning example of Modernist craftsmanship designed by Lluís Domènech I Montaner. Hidden behind the countless floral decoration we will point out a most surprising detail!
We will pass Plaça Catalunya - connecting the new town, Eixample, with the old town.
We will see the modernist art café which was as important to Barcelona like the art cafés in Paris. Picasso came here as did Gaudí.

About Barcelona
Barcelona sets Gaudí's fantastical buildings and a medieval Gothic Quarter between Mediterranean beaches and green hills, with food and nightlife to match.
Antoni Gaudí's work defines the city's image. The Sagrada Família rises over the Eixample, Casa Batlló and Casa Milà line the elegant Passeig de Gràcia, and Park Güell's mosaic terraces look out over the rooftops. The Gothic Quarter keeps its cathedral, narrow lanes and hidden squares, and El Born adds the Picasso Museum and the soaring church of Santa Maria del Mar.
Top-ranked sights in Barcelona: Sagrada Família, Montserrat Mountain, Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic).
