I am a Colombian tour guide passionate about history, culture and every place I have had the chance to visit. After touring my beautiful country I decided to cross the sea to discover the old world and learn more about what I learned from books. I have traveled and lived in several countries, now in magical Barcelona, where every street, house, monument or stone tells us about its past and mysticism, so in this way I will guide you on a journey through time to learn why every detail exists. We will discover La Rambla, the Born neighborhood and the Gothic quarter in modernist and medieval times, I will talk about legends, and also about real events in history, and we will also learn about some of the ingenious works of the great Antoni Gaudi, among many other interesting facts about ancient Barcino. You can't miss this tour, see you soon!

Tour description

Imagine a journey through time, from the grandeur of the 19th century to the medieval essence of the city. Our walking tour through the old town of Barcelona is a unique experience that will immerse you in the rich history and vibrant culture of the Catalan capital.
It begins at the Arc de Triomf, an icon of Barcelona's modernity, built for the 1888 Universal Exposition. This impressive monument, designed by Josep Vilaseca, is a tribute to the city that opened its doors to the world.
Continue to the Born, a neighborhood pulsating with the energy of history and fashion. Admire the majestic Santa Maria del Mar, a 14th-century Gothic gem, and explore the cobblestone streets that hide secrets and legends.
Dive into the Gothic Quarter, the medieval heart of Barcelona. Walk the same streets as the Romans and medieval inhabitants, and discover the Cathedral of Santa Eulalia, with its mysterious gargoyles and the Plaza del Rey, a witness to history.

We will finish at the Plaza Sant Jaume enjoying the Christmas light show "Symphony of Stars" with projections on the facades of this monumental square, specially adorned for these festivities until January 5th.
