Sarriá: The Secret Village within Barcelona, hidden corners and historic streets.
- 1 hour and 30 minutes
- Spanish
Description
Have you already explored the center of Barcelona and want to discover something different? There's an area that most travelers don't get to know, Sarriá.
Sarriá was an independent town for centuries and still retains that character among its streets, squares, and historic houses. Here you won't find the large crowds of the Gothic Quarter or the usual routes: you'll find a quieter, more elegant, and authentic Barcelona.
What will we see on this tour?
* The old town of Sarriá and how it became part of Barcelona.
* Stately homes that tell us about the wealthy families who chose this area to live and spend their summers.
* Stories and curiosities that explain what life was like when Sarriá was still separate from the big city.
* Quiet and little-known corners, perfect for discovering a different side of Barcelona.
And above all, we will understand how an old town managed to preserve its personality despite being completely surrounded by a big city.
We will be a small group to enjoy a more intimate tour, allowing us to converse and discover Sarriá without rush or the feeling of a crowded visit.
If you're looking to experience a different Barcelona from the usual routes, this is your moment to discover it.
Reserve your spot, I'm waiting for you .

Hi, I'm Esther 😊, an artist and official explorer of Barcelona's soulful corners. 🎨🏛️ I experience art, design, and culture not just as disciplines, but as ways of seeing the world… and this city is, without a doubt, one of my greatest sources of inspiration. Besides telling you what happened in Barcelona, I love explaining why: what motivated its artists, how its inhabitants thought, and why this city is so intense, contradictory, and fascinating. My tours aren't lectures (don't worry 😄), they're walks full of stories, curious details, unexpected anecdotes, and a few laughs. Traveling has always been part of my education. I've explored Italy, Austria, Germany, the UK, France, and Belgium; I've been amazed by Egypt and South Africa; I've learned a lot from Benin and Togo; and I've crossed the pond to the United States, as well as immersing myself in powerful cultures like China and India, among other destinations. All of this has honed my perspective and my storytelling: I compare, connect, and translate cultures so that Barcelona takes on even greater meaning. If you enjoy discovering a city beyond the postcard image, understanding its character, seeing the buildings with fresh eyes, and feeling like someone is sharing their story with you, like a friend… then let's walk together. Barcelona has so much to say, and I'd be delighted to translate it for you.
