Itinerary

1

Mercat de la Boqueria

It serves as an ideal chance to delve into the world of Spanish gastronomy.

Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi

One of the most important churches in Barcelona and a perfect example of Catalan gothic religious architecture. The tour doesn't include a visit inside the Basilica.

Pont del Bisbe

Constructed in 1928 by Joan Rubió i Bellver, the little bridge has helped make C/ de Bisbe one of the most photographed streets in Barcelona. It unites the Casa dels Canonges and the Palau de la Generalitat

La Pedrera - Casa Mila

Pass through Passeig de Gràcia and see from the outside Casa Milà, also known as "La Pedrera" which translates as "the quarry" in spanish. It was the last building that Gaudí worked on before he devoted his attention to La Sagrada Familia.

Each guest has the flexibility to choose their preferred meal, and payment will be made directly at the restaurant (estimated cost: 20/25€ per person). This is a suggestion, and the group is welcome to dine together. Alternatively, should you prefer to dine elsewhere or bring your own lunch, please feel at liberty to do so.

15

Basilica de la Sagrada Familia

Following lunch, your tour guide will escort you to Sagrada Família. After a detailed presentation on the intricacies of the building's façades, its historical significance, and Gaudi's visionary concepts, you will be provided with a skip-the-line ticket.
