For the ones who want to explore something different!

With this tour, we focus on a neighbourhood of Barcelona to provide a complete image of a district outside the centre of the city: its history, architecture, cuisine, small designer shops, bars and more.

The district is Gràcia, which until around 100 years ago was a separate town from Barcelona and which still today has its own, very Catalan identity, with its small-town history reflected in its numerous cosy squares, low-rise houses, narrow streets, old-school bodegas and famous summer festival. It is also one of the homes of the rumba catalana, whose flamenco-inspired beats were made famous by The Gypsy Kings.

The tour is suited to those already familiar with the city centre and who are interested in learning about another, equally-fascinating area. Obviously, first-timers are also more than welcome!

WHEN: From Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm or from 4 to 8pm.
