RUNNERBEAN TOURS Barcelona Gothic Quarter

Tuesday 08/02/22; 11am; 2.5 hours

Meeting Point: Plaça Reial (by the water fountain)

https://www.google.com/maps/@41.3831074,2.1741798,16.22z

End point: Santa Maria del Mar (El Born)

PLAÇA REIAL Only a step away from the busy "Las Ramblas", this square is certainly one of the most picturesque in Barcelona.

PLAÇA DEL PI A beautiful square in the middle of the Gothic Quarter with the XIV century Santa María del Pi church and some of the most beautiful sgraffito in the city. If tasting some local delicacies is what you are after, you will find them in its outdoor food market.

JEWISH QUARTER ("EL CALL") Not only the oldest part of the Gothic Quarter but also one of the most intriguing places in Barcelona. Walk through narrow passages and past ancient houses, following the hidden clues to find out what happened to a thriving Jewish community.

PLAÇA SANT JAUME This has been the center of political life in the City for over 2,000 years. Today, the main government buildings dominate the square. Many festivities in Barcelona start or end at this place, so maybe you will be lucky enough to see some of the Catalan traditions performed here.

BARCELONA CATHEDRAL (exterior only) Situated in the traditional spiritual center of Barcelona, "La Seu" is one of the most impressive cathedrals in Spain. Its XV century cloister has been called "the loveliest oasis in Barcelona". Thirteen geese dwell in the courtyard reminding us of a barbarous crime.

PLAÇA SANT FELIP NERI, The only drawback of Plaça Sant Felip Neri is to actually find it. Hidden at the edge of the Jewish Quarter, you will feel as if you are in a small village, miles away from busy Barcelona. A favorite with filmmakers, this peaceful place also has a few tales to tell the visitor.

THE ROMAN CITY Roman heritage is all over Barcelona, its impressive city wall appearing in the strangest of places. But there is much more than just the wall: a Roman treasure from the first century B.C. is waiting for you inside the patio of an apartment block!

MEDIEVAL CITY & PLAÇA DEL REI Stepping into this square is like traveling back through time to when the count-kings lived in its medieval Royal Palace. King Ferdinand, Christopher Columbus, and the Spanish Inquisition all have something to say in this Plaza.

SANTA MARIA DEL MAR It has been called "the Cathedral of the Sea," and from the outside, you would never guess the magnificence that is waiting for you inside. A masterpiece of the Catalan Gothic and a delight for the eyes. Our tour ends beside it in an extraordinary place for the Barcelonans.
