The secret life of Ciutat Vella —
Specific interests? Unreasonably fussy? Totally weird?

If you meet any (or all) of these criteria, we can tailor a tour for you, personalised down to microscopic level, if required.

RECENT EXAMPLES HAVE INCLUDED:

A fashion tour, taking in alternative clothes designers´ studios, groovy boutiques, vintage clothing stores, etc.

A workshop tour in the Poble Nou district, showing this former industrial quarter's past and present, including visits to artists´ and designers´ studio, as the area reinvents itself.

The hairdresser tour ‐ a hair-raising experience. Covers the entire gamut of coiffure, from the old-fashioned to the ultra-modern, not forgetting the city´s ethic/immigrant establishments: Dominican, Pakistani, etc., often the focal point and gathering place for these communities.

Modern architecture: if phallic symbols and other sundry ego-trips are your cup of tea, then get your neo-Brutalist injection here! An architect (whacky glasses and aluminium briefcase optional) will act as your guide to explain why these monstrous white elephants are so artistically important.

Since we deal with every request separately, these personal tours require special preparation and planning, and are therefore priced accordingly.

Write and explain to us what you are looking for. We'll do our best to accommodate you (strictly within the law, of course…).
