Do it with a local! If you want something more personal, authentic and local, don’t think twice. Come walk Barcelona with me. Skip the generic history lesson and discover the city through the eyes of a local.

We’ll understand Barcelona by travelling backwards through time: from the early 19th century and industrial Barcelona, through the medieval city, and finally back almost 2,000 years to the origins of Roman Barcino.

Begin your walking tour at the Three Chimneys, where you’ll learn about the Industrial Revolution, the 1919 strike, and the 8-hour workday. Continue to the Medieval Walls and Royal Shipyards to hear about the Cerdà Plan and the demolition of the walls in 1854.

Next, visit the Columbus Monument and La Rambla. Learn why the statue points in the direction it does, why it is located here, and what the 1888 Universal Exposition celebrated. Discover the Arabic origins of the word "Rambla" and how the street separated the walled city from the convents.

Continue to Palau Güell and Plaça Reial. Hear about the square's bohemian past and how it became a very international meeting place. Learn about the lampposts, which were one of Gaudí's first public commissions.

Next, visit Sant Miquel and learn about the human towers (castellers) and what they symbolize. Continue to the Bishop's Bridge and hear the famous skull legend.

Visit Sant Felip Neri, one of the most emotionally powerful places in Barcelona. Hear about the Spanish Civil War, the Italian bombing of 1938, and the children who died. See the shrapnel marks and take a moment of silence.

Continue to the Barcelona Cathedral and learn about Saint Eulalia and the 13 geese. Finish your tour at the Roman Walls and Plaça del Rei, where you’ll hear about Roman Barcino and how the Catholic Kings received Chirstoper Colombus.
