Return details
We finish near the hub of the old and new city, where travellers using public transport are served by the L1, L3 and L4 metro lines, 5 minutes away from a registered taxi rank, while also within reach of various bars and cafes for post-tour refreshments.

  • El Born Centre De Cultura I Memoria
    We begin outside the imposing former Marketplace of El Born which, in recent years, has garnered government funding for the display of Catalan artefacts.
  • Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar
    Take a breath and enjoy views of the gorgeous local basilica made famous by the bestselling book and subsequent Netflix series "Cathedral of the Sea"
  • El Fossar de les Moreres
    Bestriding the Basilica, we find the oft-derided monument to Catalonia's war dead of 1714 and the eternal flame that keeps watch over the symbolic red bricks.
  • Estacio de Franca
    Recognize an escape route for exiles to France during the Fascist Uprising in Barcelona.
  • Parc de la Ciutadella
    We see a statue of General Prim, a Catalan military legend that also served in the Spanish Imperial Army, then stop outside the Catalan parliament to discuss the 2017 'illegal' referendum and the ferocious political fallout.
  • Arco di Trionfo
    Why is this 'alternative' Arch of Triumph so significant to the story of Catalan identity? It relates to the emergenge of Barcelona as an industrial powerhouse in the 1880s. We climax the tour underneatha figure of the most talked about hero/turncoat/pioneer of the St. Eulalia defence of the besieged city, and speculate on whether his surrender to the Spanish had either a galvanizing or demoralising effect in the cause for Catalan resistance.
