- MUHBA Via Sepulcral Romana - Just steps from the Gothic Quarter lies a forgotten necropolis: dozens of Roman tombs from the 1st to 3rd centuries AD. Hidden in plain sight, it reveals how Barcelona’s story began long before the Gothic age.

Tapas are optional and available for purchase. This spot combines the Gothic Quarter’s history with an authentic taste of Barcelona, setting the perfect start to a mysterious journey.

- Pont del Bisbe - Pont del Bisbe is rich in legend. Some say stepping under its arches brings luck, while others speak of secret meetings and hidden messages carved into its stone by those who once walked these streets centuries ago.
- Jaume I - Legend has it that King Jaume I, the conqueror of Valencia and Mallorca, once walked these streets in disguise to move unseen among his people. Some corners of the Gothic Quarter still echo tales of his secret routes and hidden meetings, where decisions that shaped Barcelona were quietly made. A stop at a local shop for a candy tasting is included here.
