Activity itinerary

Plaza de Catalunya

10m

More than just a meeting point, Plaça Catalunya hides its own secrets. Beneath the square lie old Civil War shelters, and legends tell of tunnels once connecting to the metro. This is also where medieval walls once stood, making it the crossroads between old Barcelona and the birth of the modern city

Portal de l'Angel

10m

Portal del Ángel once marked the entrance to the medieval walls. Its name comes from a legend of an angel appearing here to protect the city, a reminder that even the most modern avenues are built on centuries of myths

Barcelona Cathedral

15m

Behind its Gothic façade, the Cathedral hides centuries of secrets. From the crypt of Saint Eulàlia: Barcelona’s young martyr, to strange gargoyles shaped like animals, every stone whispers stories of faith, fear, and legend.

MUHBA Via Sepulcral Romana

15m

Just steps from the Gothic Quarter lies a forgotten necropolis: dozens of Roman tombs from the 1st to 3rd centuries AD. Hidden in plain sight, it reveals how Barcelona’s story began long before the Gothic age.

Plaça d'Isidre Nonell

20m

our first stop invites you to taste homemade vermouth in a traditional local bar. You can also choose another drink if you prefer. Tapas are optional and available for purchase. This spot combines the Gothic Quarter’s history with an authentic taste of Barcelona, setting the perfect start to our mysterious journey.

Placa Sant Felip Neri

10m

A peaceful square with a tragic past, Sant Felip Neri was built over a medieval cemetery. The church walls still bear the scars of a Civil War bombing, making this hidden corner of the Gothic Quarter one of Barcelona’s most haunting sites.

Pont del Bisbe

10m

Pont del Bisbe is steeped in legend. Some say stepping under its arches brings luck, while others whisper of secret meetings and hidden messages carved into its stone by those who once walked these streets centuries ago.

Jaume I

10m

Legend has it that King Jaume I, the conqueror of Valencia and Mallorca, once walked these streets disguised to move unseen among his people. Some corners of the Gothic Quarter still whisper tales of his secret routes and hidden meetings, where decisions that shaped Barcelona were quietly made. We will stop to a local shop for a candy tasting here.

Placa del Rei

15m

Plaça del Rei hides centuries of royal secrets. Behind its Gothic walls, kings like Jaume I ruled, plotted, and even imprisoned. Today, whispers of conspiracies and hidden treasures still seem to linger among the arches and courtyards.

Plaça Reial

10m

Legends say secret tunnels once connected the square to hidden chambers below the Gothic Quarter. Today, its lamps and arches still whisper stories of clandestine meetings and midnight intrigues.

Carrer de Sant Pau

20m

Our journey ends at a hidden local spot beloved by artists and musicians, where legends say Picasso, Gaudí, and even Rosalía once found inspiration. Here, you can choose between vermouth, absinthe, or a non-alcoholic drink to toast the end of our Gothic adventure.
