TAPAS LUNCH

Time to Eat!

1.PM

A tapas lunch is a great opportunity to get a little rest and a variety of local specialties. Your guide will take you somewhere in the area where locals go, prices are decent, food is great and service is efficient.

IF YOU BOOKED A CHAUFFEURED TOUR

Your driver will be joining you now, so from now on all of your rides will be driving from site to site. Walking tours will be using a taxi to get to the Hill of Montjuic, but walking from site to site once you get there.

2PM

  • Ride

HILL OF MONTJUIC

The city’s green lung

2.15PM

  • Walk
In the afternoon you’ll head to the Hill of Montjuic, where you’ll be able to decide if you wish to visit the Miro Foundation (a must for art lovers) or if you prefer to take the cablecar and visit the Montjuic Castle. Both places are great to enjoy the city views.

Next you’ll continue to where in 1992 the Barcelona Olympics where celebrated. Some of the facilities include the Olympic Stadium, the Calatrava Tower and the Sant Jordi Stadium by Arata Isozaki.

Your tour will end in the area where in 1929 was hosted the second World Fair of the city. The Mies van der Rohe pavilion, the National Palace, the Plaça Espanya with its monumental fountain and the former Las Arenas bullring are some of the buildings you’ll see.

DAY 2

9AM

  • TOUR STARTS

Either you are meeting your guide directly in the city center or at your own location, your tour will start with an introduction about Gaudi’s timeframe, linking it to the Industrial Revolution, the arrival of Modernism (Art Nouveau) and the creation of the Eixample District.

  • Walk
Your tour starts in the elegant Passeig de Gracia avenue, that will remind you of the Champs Elysées in Paris. There you will enter the magnificent Casa Milà, where you’ll learn why it’s also called La Pedrera (so confusing!), admire its surreal smoke pipes and learn about Gaudi’s techniques.
