Highlights
  • Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) - Did you know that Picasso did his 1rst exhibition in a coffeeshop in Barcelona?

Coffee has played a crucial role in the artistic development of the city. This delicious hot drink, has inspired so many Catalan artists, from the modernism till the modern art, and has become an art itself.

During the tour, we explore the evolution of the city walking around the old town. Firstly, we start with The Ribera quarter, where the artisans have been working hand made since the middle age. Secondly, we will reach the Gothic quarter, the origin of the city, and the inspiration for the modernist artist as Picasso. Moreover, we move through the emblematic boulevard of Las Ramblas,. And last but not least, we reach the area of MACBA, where is located in the new 21-century era of the artists of the city. Here you can feel the vibes of the urban & art culture.

  • Sala Pares - Within the tour, we visit two different art galleries.
    The first one is Sala Pares, the most emblematic art gallery of the city with a series of prestigious Catalan painters as Miró. If you come with us.
    Secondly, we will visit a tiny modern art gallery host by a local artist.

Additional Information

In recent times, Barcelona has emerged as a top choice among global tourists. Many are drawn to this Mediterranean marvel by its captivating culture, historical art and heritage. However, with the influx of attractions geared towards low-quality entertainment, the city’s true core has somewhat diminished. This, to some extent, is the cost of being a sought-after destination globally.

Through our immersive local experiences, we present an opportunity to uncover the authentic Barcelona for those seeking it. In our perspective, the real Barcelona is crafted by its artisanal residents who not only uphold traditions but are also shaping the city for the 21st-century. By gaining insight from their expertise and experiencing their day-to-day routine in their work settings, we aspire that our clients explore the city, as opposed to merely visiting it.

Location
Plaça del Rei
Our meeting point will be Plaça del Rei, one of the most emblematic square of the gothic quarter. A official local guide will host the experience.
