Here there are the KEY STOPS and the MAIN TOPICS of this tour!
 |
Palace Square (Pla de Palau)
• We will see some early and little known of Gaudí`s works. • How a new statue suddenly boosted the sales of a neighbouring market? • We are going to see some masonic symbols in the square, both the obvious and the hidden ones. |
 |
Sea square (Plaça del Mar)
• How did a modest beacon participate in an important scientific research, the result of which is widely used in our everyday life? • What is the last of the most important dates in the history of modern Barcelona, and how did it change the city? • Enjoy the contemporary statues and architecture that are present in this zone. |
 |
A ride along the beach
• While you are enjoying the views of the coastline and the girls in bikini, we will tell you what effort it costs the city to maintain this beach. • How has the sea changed and is still changing the appearance of the city? • Where do the green parrots and palms come from? |
 |
La Barceloneta
• What was this zone like in the past? • Where on the beach you can see a “monument” to the small apartments of Barceloneta? • Why sometimes one can see a lot of flags similar to the Ukrainian ones hanging out of the windows? |
 |
Olympic harbor (Port Olímpic)
• The significance and symbolism of the two highest towers in the city and the gold fish that can be found in this zone. • What “living” mountain supplied the city with stone for construction? • Which are the best beaches in Barcelona? |
 |
Citadel Park a (Parc de la Cuitadella)
• Why did the Barcelonans of the past hate this place? • What is the second date that changed the city? • Enjoy the freshness of the park, full of secret symbolism, its lakes and gardens, and meet a mammoth there! |
 |
Cascade of Citadel Park
• What parts of it were executed by young Gaudí? • How did the fountain surprise the Barcelonans a few years ago? |
 |
“Three Dragon`s Castle” (“Castel dels Tres Dragons”)
• Beginning of the modernist era. • How many days are needed to build a hotel for 500 guests? |
 |
Triumphal Arch (Arc de Triomf)
• What triumph does this arch commemorate? • Who are the winged ladies and bats that decorate the arch? • Where do the sensational trials proceed? |
 |
Agbar Tower (Torre Agbar)
• Although it may seem a little obtrusive at the first glance, after our explanation you will see that this building follows the Barcelonan architectural traditions and blends harmoniously into the urban landscape. • How many combinations of colour can the lights of the tower provide? A hint: it`s hard to imagine… • We are going to pass by one of the most typical modern residential areas of Barcelona; a surprisingly beautiful and contemporary flee market, a former bullfight ring and many other things on our way! |
