Tour description
Have you ever walked through a city and felt that there was something invisible beneath the surface?
Together, we will discover the less touristy but infinitely more fascinating side of El Born: the neighborhood where the city has learned to resist, love and create.
Each stage is a fragment of a fascinating mosaic:
- Plaça Catalunya – Between pigeons, modernity and memory.
- Palau de la Música Catalana – Catalan Modernism at its finest.
- Church of Sant Pere de les Puel les – A curious name for a raw story.
- Mercat de Santa Caterina – Much more than a market.
- Moco Museum – We will take some shots with the works outside the museum
- Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar – The people’s cathedral.
- Fossar de les Moreres – The fire that never goes out.
- El Born Centre de Cultura i Memòria – Medieval ruins beneath your feet.
- Equestrian Statue of General Prim – Who really was this stern-faced man?
- Parliament of Catalonia (inside the Parc de la Ciutadella) – And here we are at the finale.
Why choose this tour?
- Because it is not a simple list of places, but a living narrative, which adapts to the listener.
- Because every corner has a voice. I am here to make you hear it.
- Because Barcelona is a city to be experienced with the heart, not just with the eyes.
Book now and get ready to experience Barcelona with me. On this tour you will not walk: you will travel through time, listen to forgotten voices and discover truths that few know.
