About this experience
You will never forget this walk. It is unlike the usual Barcelona tours — here you live the history instead of simply hearing it.
Follow Phitia, the oracle who knows Barcelona’s hidden secrets.
You will walk through the Gothic Quarter and immerse yourself in the legends, myths and events rarely revealed in standard Barcelona tours and classic Barcelona routes.
You will learn:
— how Catalonia lost its independence,
— how Antoni Gaudí died,
— why the Jews were expelled,
and how these events transformed the city.
But the most important part is personal.
You will make a wish and carry it with you throughout the route, weaving your own story into the atmosphere of the ancient city.
“Chronicles Barcelona” is an atmospheric and profound Gothic Quarter route that lets you feel Barcelona in a way no typical Barcelona walking tour or excursiones Barcelona ever could.

The fortune teller Pythia and the wise key keeper Basilio will reveal to you the secrets that are
kept by the ancient walls of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona. The events of past eras will
come to life in the narrow labyrinths of streets. You will be able to feel like a resident of a
medieval city, try on a royal crown, climb the stairs from where the rulers announced their
orders, taste Christmas sweets and make a wish.
You become not just a spectator but a part of a magical action.
The doors to the city's past will open for you, there you will see the heroes and villains of
Barcelona - the fearless Columbus, the sad executioner, the brave red-haired witches and
Queen Isabella.
This unique combination of theater and interactive quest is ideal for groups of friends,
families, dreamers and anyone who wants to feel the magic of the city.
Even familiar streets will shine with a new light under the cover of night!
