Tour description

It is about taking an iconic tour of the main modernist buildings. We start our route through the Fuster house "golden bastion" of the architect Lluis Domènech i Montaner, stopping at most of the unique buildings on Passeig de Gracia, where we can admire the architectural wealth and a lot of unique houses, some known and others not so well known, we will learn curiosities of these houses that speak from silence, houses that were of great importance in their time, houses that were abandoned to their fate due to the mismanagement of their owners, buildings that undaunted "whisper" to us and invite us to contemplate the past of opulence of a very small part of the society called bourgeoisie that had great importance in the city of Barcelona. Let us remember that Modernism is a "philosophy of life" so we will not only contemplate buildings (single-family houses of the time), but we will also admire small examples of industrial or commercial Modernism, we will learn to see and understand what I colloquially call "the whispering stone ”, small secrets very well hidden .. invisible to the non-curious eyes ..
