Plaça de Sant Agustí Vell, 16, Barcelona

El Born / La Ribera

We'll meet at 9:30 AM in the heart of the El Born neighborhood to begin our tour of the narrow streets of medieval Barcelona. If you arrive late, don't worry: just give us a call and the group will wait for you.

El Born Centre De Cultura I Memoria

This was the most important marketplace in Barcelona, and not long ago, something unexpected was discovered underneath it.

Parc de la Ciutadella

Take a stroll through this park, located in the city center. Here, you can learn about Gaudí's life and how he participated in a project for the 1888 International Exposition.

La Vila Olímpica del Poblenou

On the way to the waterfront, you'll pass the Olympic Village, where most of the athletes stayed during the 1992 Olympic Games.

Port Olímpic

The Olympic Port was built for the 1992 Games and changed Barcelona's relationship with the sea. Framed by the twin towers and full of sailboats, it is the point where the city opened up to the Mediterranean. Throughout the journey, it explains how the Games reshaped the coastline and transformed the former industrial land into what it is today.

Platja del Bogatell

A lively urban beach, with a boardwalk along the sea and a refreshing breeze.

Rambla del Poblenou

You'll be cycling through one of the city's most vibrant and distinctive neighborhoods: Poblenou.

Les Glòries

The route passes through the area known as 22@, the district where the most modern architecture is located. The contrast with everything that came before is striking.

Basílica de la Sagrada Familia

The guide explains the Sagrada Família from the outside, detailing each facade and tower, while also sharing the history of the temple and the life of Gaudí. There's also a break for refreshments, where you can enjoy a drink or some churros before continuing the tour.

El Ensanche (Eixample)

A large, modernist neighborhood, known for its buildings and its grid layout with angled corners.

.Plaça Rovira i Trias

The Plaça Rovira i Trias, in Gràcia, is named after the Catalan architect who competed with Cerdà to design the expansion of Barcelona. In the center, there is a statue of him holding his alternative plan for the city, a testament to the fact that Barcelona could have been very different. The square is peaceful, with children playing and neighbors chatting: the everyday life of the neighborhood, away from the tourist circuit.

Gracia

You cycle through this neighborhood, which has a very local feel and seems like it belongs to a different city altogether.

Park Güell

Entrance to the park is at your own expense and is subject to ticket availability.

Placa de la Virreina

The Plaça de la Virreina, located in the heart of Gràcia, is one of the most authentic squares in the neighborhood. It's surrounded by local cafes, and the church of Sant Joan stands at its center, preserving that small-town atmosphere that Gràcia still retains. It's a great place to stop and observe how people live here, away from the tourist crowds.

Plaça del Diamant

The Plaça del Diamant, in Gràcia, is simple and carries a lot of history. It is linked to the Spanish Civil War and was immortalized in the novel "La plaça del Diamant" by Mercè Rodoreda. Below, there is an old air raid shelter, a reminder of the difficult years the neighborhood experienced. During the tour, you will learn about its significance, both in history and in literature.

La plaza del Sol

The Plaça del Sol, in Gràcia, is one of the most popular squares in the neighborhood. It's an open space that is especially crowded at night: people sit on the ground, sometimes there are musicians, and the surrounding bars maintain the atmosphere. It's a good place to understand the character of Gràcia: creative, independent, and community-oriented.

Vila de Gràcia is one of the most authentic neighborhoods, and...

Vila de Gràcia is one of Barcelona's most characterful neighborhoods. It was an independent town until the late 19th century and still keeps that identity. Narrow streets, family-run shops, lively squares and colorful balconies give the neighborhood a feel all its own. Exploring it by bike lets you see a Barcelona that doesn't show up on the usual routes.

Jardinets de Gràcia (Jardines de Salvador Espriu)

The Jardinets de Gràcia mark the entrance to the neighborhood at the upper end of Passeig de Gràcia. This tree-lined promenade with benches serves as a transition between the grand modernist avenue and the neighborhood atmosphere of Vila de Gràcia. Here, you can learn how the former town of Gràcia gradually integrated into the city without losing its identity.

Casa Batlló

This house, which looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale, belonged to one of the three wealthy families who competed with each other to have the finest house on the block. The design is the work of Antoni Gaudí.

Casa Amatller

A building that blends Gothic and Modernist styles, designed by Puig i Cadafalch, and linked to the history of chocolate in Barcelona.

La Mansana de la Discòrdia

A stretch of Passeig de Gràcia where buildings by the city's finest modernist architects stand side-by-side, competing for attention.

La Pedrera - Casa Mila
