The Expansion is the area where the local Art Nouveau or Modernism was developed between the late 1800s and early 1900s. We’ll explore Ildefons Cerdà’s city plan and we’ll learn about the 3 best architects of the time at the Block of Disagreement: Domènech i Muntaner, Puig i Cadafalch, and of course, Antoni Gaudí. Outside view of Casa Batlló and Casa Milà/Pedrera.

Next we’ll head to the impressive Sagrada Família Church, where we can skip the line to get in. Gaudi worked in this project for 43 years until he died in 1926. Although ten more towers are still missing, the inside has been already consacrated and the rest is planned to be finished around 2026-30. A place you’ll never forget!

The last part of the tour will be a light driver around the city to see the area of the1888 World Fair, passing by the Ciutadella Park and the Arch of Triumph, to reach the Waterfront where we’ll see the Olympic village and the marina, the beaches, the Barceloneta fishermen district, the Port Vell (Old Port) and Columbus circle.
