Tour description

If you have just arrived in Barcelona and don't know where to start discovering the wonders of the Gothic Quarter, don't worry, I'm here to help you.

I will take you on a journey through time in the oldest neighborhood of Barcelona, showing you both its most famous places and its hidden gems. I will tell you about Catalan traditions, revealing not only curious facts but also stories that 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 story 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 immerse ourselves in this journey through time, I can give you tips and recommendations for the rest of your stay.

I am a guide with a degree in geography, architecture, and urban planning, and I can't wait to share my knowledge and passion with you to let you savor the essence of this magnificent city during your stay.
