Hello! I'm Benedetta, Italian, and passionate about travel, culture, and people. I live in Barcelona, a city that has captivated me and that I love showing to first-time visitors. I studied Tourism and Tourism Economics and worked in hotels and travel agencies, experiences that allowed me to develop excellent communication and networking skills with people from all over the world. On my tours, I like to create a friendly, curious, and authentic atmosphere, where participants don't just see Barcelona, but truly experience it: its history, its colors, its traditions, and the energy that permeates every corner. If you're looking for a friendly and dynamic guide, always willing to share curiosity and smiles... I'd be happy to accompany you! 🌞🏙️

Tour description
🏰 Barcelona's Gothic Quarter: Stories, Legends, and Secrets (Free Walking Tour in Italian)
Discover the true soul of Barcelona with a free walking tour through the medieval alleys of the Gothic Quarter, the oldest and most fascinating heart of the city.
This is not just a historical visit, but a journey through emotions, symbols, and mysteries, where every stone tells a story.
Starting from Plaça de Catalunya, we will explore its charming streets, the Cathedral with the legend of the 13 geese of Santa Eulalia, the mysterious Carrer del Bisbe and its protective dragon.
In Plaça del Rei we will discover traces of Roman Barcino and the ghost stories that haunt it, while in Sant Felip Neri we will talk about hidden loves and the wounds of the Civil War.
We will conclude among the streets of El Call, the ancient Jewish quarter, to reveal the secrets of medieval Barcelona.
During the tour, I'll show you details and curiosities that even locals miss: symbols, carvings, false Gothic bridges, and Catalan superstitions.
A perfect experience for those who love walking, observing and being surprised.
Visit completely free, external visits only.
Recommended: comfortable shoes, a camera, and a lot of curiosity!
