What to expect
Your guide collects you and leads a steady walk through Barcelona's architecture-rich streets, pointing out Gaudí's signature details and explaining Modernism's place in the city. You'll hop on public transport mid-tour—part of the itinerary, not a chore. At a carefully chosen bar or eatery, you'll sit down to a plate of tapas and your chosen drink, learning what locals actually eat. The route finishes at Hospital de Sant Pau, where the building's elaborate facade speaks for itself. The walk covers about 2 miles at a comfortable pace; route tweaks may happen depending on where's busy or which venues have kitchen availability that day.
