If last week we talked about visiting Madrid in a different way, Today we want to bring you closer to another of the great cities of our geography: Barcelona. To do this, I am going to propose a series of guided tours, but not just any one, but those that show you the city of Barcelona in a different way, from which you will learn about its anecdotes, mysteries and legends. Shall we walk?
Essential Barcelona in 3 hours and 30 minutes (€12)
Is it your first time in Barcelona and you want to know the most important things without losing a whole day? Well, this route is perfect for it. We leave from Plaza Cataluña to make our first stop in the Gothic Quarter, to see its cathedral or the Plaza Real.
Later we will walk through the streets of the Ribera and Borne neighborhoods. There we will visit Santa María del Mar. The medieval streets will then be our common thread to the Palau de la Música, an impressive construction of modern art.
Las Ramblas with its Boquería market, the Liceo and Park Güell are the last jumps until returning to the starting point.
Route through the mysteries and legends of Ciutat Vella (€11)
A route through history and through the neighborhoods that pump the heart of the city. Ciudat Vella, Born, the Raval or the already named Gothic, are part of our tour.
Accompanied by a specialized guide, your steps will be enriched with the information you pass through the history, architecture, art and society of these places. We start from the Plaza de los Ángeles with the first explanations about the most modern transformation of the Raval.
Later you will travel to the 15th century, to see the Hospital of the Holy Cross. The Fossar de las Moreras will put the end to the journey.
The Masonic Barcelona (€12)
Freemasonry. Everyone has heard of them but few know what they are for sure. Do you want the truth? With this route you will know the places in Barcelona where this secret society has clearly influenced.
This activity will reveal to you the truth, the objectives and intentions of this movement. You will distinguish through the symbols and streets of the Catalan city, reality from legend. Note that throughout the tour you will be accompanied by a guide and that this activity is adapted to people with reduced mobility.
Electric bike route (22€)
Tired of walking? Well, we bring you another way to walk around the city, how? Well, with an electric bicycle, you won't lose much energy pedaling either.
We change the means of transportation from our feet to two wheels, but not the procedure explained until now, since on our walk we will also be accompanied by a specialized guide who will turn each pedal stroke into a bite of culture and history through the most representative places in Barcelona.
Two hours in which you will visit places such as the Gothic Quarter or the emblematic Plaza de Catalunya. Gaudí will also pass by you with La Pedrera or Casa Batlló. And of course, we will make a stop at the Sagrada Familia.
And now, taking advantage of the festivity that unites us here, I present to you some ideal routes for Halloween.
Halloween in the middle of the Gothic Quarter (€15)
The Gothic Quarter hides many secrets. Its alleys and architectural forms take us back to times gone by. To stages of legends and unsolved murders. With this two-hour route you will enter its chapels, basilicas or the headquarters of the Holy Inquisition.
The route seeks to get away from the most touristy places to merge with the least known and darkest corners. With you, a specialist guide on the subject, also a journalist with the best information on each crime committed.
Come on! You will be scared.
Theatrical route: the Barcelona of terror (€10)
Do you want to discover where the demons and ghosts of Barcelona live? Or rather, do you dare? Come and discover the paranormal legends of the place.
To do this you will be accompanied by a guide but be careful because he is not human. He is a dead man turned into a ghostly legend, he is the great Fra Garí. The most famous spirit in the city. He will be the one who will accompany you during the two-hour tour of the most condemnable stories of Las Ramblas and other locations in the city.
Are you ready?
