ABOUT YOUR PRIVATE GOTHIC QUARTER BARCELONA WALKING TOUR

Your private tour starts in front of Barcelona Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of St. Eulalia, at a time which is convenient for you. You will get to know this shining example of Gothic architecture, with exclusive access to climb the bell-tower to enjoy the beautiful views from above. While inside the cathedral, look up and admire the Gothic long stained-glass windows. Your guide will accompany you to visit the courtyard and see the Well of Geese, dedicated to the young Christian martyr Saint Eulalia. The courtyard is home to a fountain with 13 geese said to symbolize the years of the co-patron saint of Barcelona, Saint Eulalia, before her life tragically ended at such as young age.

Your Private Gothic Quarter Barcelona Walking Tour will now lead you through the quaint and narrow alleys of the Gothic Center. Learn about Sant Jaume Square, the political center of Barcelona where you can see both the Barcelona Town Hall and the Catalan Palace of the Generalitat. See where King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella received Christopher Columbus after his first voyage to the New World. It’s Plaza Del Rei, nowadays known as a picturesque gathering square with cafés. A few steps further down the road, you will approach Plaza Sant Felip Neri, a Baroque church located in the heart of the Gothic center that marks the entrance to Barcelona’s Jewish Quarter. The area has a long history of Jewish culture and is home to one of the oldest synagogues in Europe!

No visit to Barcelona is complete without a conversation about Pablo Picasso, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. After the death of his younger sister, Picasso’s family moved from Malaga to Barcelona where Picasso began his formal training at the Fine Arts School. LivSpain’s guide will bring you to admire a Picasso mural painted on the College of Architecture building right across from Barcelona’s Cathedral.

BOOK YOUR PRIVATE GOTHIC QUARTER TOUR
Many different cultures have crossed the streets of Barcelona. The city, being located on the Mediterranean Sea, was a strong outpost for the Romans. While the Romans were in Barcelona, they left a lasting imprint of the culture and the layout of the city. They constructed a massive wall meant to keep out the invading Visigoths, who eventually took over the region in the 5th Century. As you walk by the Roman wall, your private local guide will tell you many anecdotes and elaborate stories about Barcelona, the seat of the Region of Catalonia. In the 15th Century, Ferdinand II and Catherine of Aragon married and consolidated power in the Iberian Peninsula: this marked the end of Catalan autonomy. The city has been under Spanish influence ever since. Taking an exclusive tour with a private tour guide will bring your idea of touring to a whole new level!
