You will pass the ancient cathedral precincts, discover the Jewish Quarter and pause at atmospheric squares such as Sant Felip Neri.
Continue through Born to the soaring Santa Maria del Mar church, a masterpiece of Catalan Gothic, and finish at the Born Market & Memorial Centre where recently uncovered medieval ruins reveal life beneath the modern city. Along the way your guide shares captivating stories about local traditions, architectural details and the social history that shaped Barcelona. A relaxing stop in a traditional tavern allows time to sample local flavours while you absorb the city’s atmosphere and ask your guide for personalised recommendations to enrich the rest of your stay.
