About this experience

Explore Gràcia like a local on a private tour with vermouth, stories, and everyday life. A cultural escape from tourist Barcelona.

You will discover Gràcia, one of Barcelona’s most authentic and creative neighborhoods, on a private walking tour led by a licensed local guide.

Once an independent town, Gràcia still retains a strong sense of community, local traditions, and cultural identity. As you explore its lively squares and quiet streets, your guide shares how history, politics, and daily life shape the neighborhood today.

The tour includes a relaxed vermouth apéritif with small tastings, offering insight into Catalan social life. You’ll also see Casa Vicens, Gaudí’s first major work, from the outside and in its neighborhood context. Designed as a cultural alternative to the city center, this experience is personal, unhurried, and deeply local.

Detailed itinerary

Our tour guide will start the tour by taking a journey in the urbanistic development of the city, the Eixample, its cosmopolitan heart of Barcelona, and introduce the charming upper neighborhoods of the city, Gràcia.

We will stroll outside Casa Fuster, built in 1908, is a masterpiece crafted by the renowned architect Lluis Domenech i Montaner, a visionary whose Modernist designs left an indelible mark on Barcelona's architectural landscape.

We will walk on Gran de Gracia, a street that was the entrance and exit to the town, which allowed it to acquire the necessary impulse to grow and consolidate itself as the natural axis of commerce in Gràcia.

Depending on the opening hours, we will visit the main market of Gracia where each stall and aisle carries echoes of the past, linking the present to the vibrant traditions of communal exchange that have shaped our communities for generations.

Stop 5

We will marvel Casa Vicens, designed by Gaudí. The house is a harmonious blend of geometric shapes and organic elements, a testament to Gaudí's commitment to breaking free from traditional norms.

We will discover this Masia, that served as the epicenter of the agricultural endeavors of Gracia, embodying the essence of sustainable living.

We will explore Plaça de la Virreina which today still maintains its small-town spirit, thanks to the church and low-rise houses that can still be seen on each side.

The most vibrant in Gracia, Plaça de Vila de Gracia, surrounded by the echoes of local folklore, we end our tour.
