The experience
About this quest
A riddle walk through Barcelona's Gothic Quarter for curious couples, families and friends who want the real stories, not just the photos. Starting near the ancient city wall, you explore hidden squares and narrow streets, and this ancient neighbourhood, steeped in history and legends, slowly reveals its magic. Uncover its battles, heroes, legends and everyday life in Roman and medieval times, and finish this enriching adventure as the true Keeper of Barcelona's Stories.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Perfect for couples, friends and families with older children who love history, legends and the hidden stories tucked into the city's streets. Wander through Barcelona's darker, more intriguing past, with tips on free and paid monuments to explore along the way.
