• Barcelona Cathedral - Visitors can access the elevator to the rooftops through the Chapel of the Innocent Saints, located next to the door of San Ivo. From the rooftops, one can admire the two bell towers, the lateral pinnacles, the cimborio topped by the Holy Cross (supported by the image of Saint Helena), the Cloister, and a breathtaking panoramic view of Barcelona.
• Capilla de Santa Lucia - Fira de Santa Llúcia: a fair dating back to 1786! What can be found there? Not many Santa Clauses, but everything needed for the traditional Christmas crib, which is the centerpiece of homes during the festive season: moss, figurines, shepherds, little houses, trees, and caganers. Additionally, there are decorations for the tree, lucky mistletoe, and tió logs with smiley faces wearing a typical Catalan cap, the barretina.
• Placa de Sant Jaume - The Plaça Sant Jaume has been the political center of the city almost since its beginning. Today, it is an open space, a “lung” in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. The square hosts the most significant buildings in the lives of Barcelona and Catalonia: City Hall and the Palau de la Generalitat.
• Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi - Food Artisans Market A delightful surprise in Plaça Santa Maria del Pi (near the church of the same name) in the Gothic District, this mini-market features around twenty stalls offering artisanal delights such as Catalan honey, chocolates, cheeses, wines, and cakes. It’s perfect for non-kitsch stocking fillers.
• Carrer Petritxol - For streets with a special charm in Barcelona, don’t miss Carrer Petritxol, a pedestrian street known as the street of chocolate in Barcelona. Here’s why: Carrer Petritxol has been documented since 1340, and the name “petrítxol” comes from “pedrítxol,” referring to stones that prevented carriages from entering certain streets. Petrítxol became Barcelona’s first pedestrian street in 1959.
• La Rambla - La Rambla stretches exactly 1.2 kilometers, and nearly every visitor to Barcelona strolls along it. Laid out in 1766, it follows the contours of the medieval city walls that enclosed this part of Barcelona since the 13th century. Locals embraced it immediately. In a city of narrow, winding streets, the Rambla was the only place where everyone could walk and enjoy leisure time. Its central location made it a meeting place for all social classes.
• Mercat de la Boqueria - The history of La Rambla is intertwined with the Boqueria Market’s history, evolving from a past of peddlers to a vibrant and colorful present. The market is a metaphor for Barcelona’s life, a human river that delights those who enjoy people-watching. (Access is only possible when the market is open)
