Tour description

Do you want to discover the true essence of street art and graffiti in Barcelona, and understand how the city’s walls became a voice for social movements, rebellion, and creativity? Then this Street Art Tour in Barcelona is for you 🎨


Join us as we explore neighborhoods where urban art is part of everyday life, not just decoration. From hidden alleyways to iconic murals, this tour opens the door to a world that many visitors walk past without ever truly seeing.


During this approximately 2-hour walking tour, we uncover the stories behind Barcelona’s street art and graffiti culture, shaped by political struggles, counterculture, and global artistic movements. As we walk through Raval and the Gothic Quarter, you’ll see how the city itself became a canvas.


Throughout the tour, you will discover:


  • The history of street art and graffiti in Barcelona and its deep connection to the city’s social and political context


  • The difference between graffiti, street art, and post-graffiti — and where the line between art and vandalism is drawn


  • Stories and anecdotes about famous graffiti and street artists in Barcelona


  • Techniques, styles, and hidden details behind the murals, tags, and stencils we’ll observe


  • How street art moved from the streets into galleries and the contemporary art market


We’ll also visit an art gallery, where urban art meets contemporary expression, showing how street artists transition from walls to exhibitions 🖼️


This tour is perfect for art lovers, urban explorers, and curious travelers who want to experience Barcelona beyond Gaudí and the postcards.

Join us and see the city through the eyes of its artists — raw, political, creative, and alive ✨
