We suggest an iconic walking tour though emblematic places along the famous Ramblas in Barcelona, giving you a few insights from a local view point.
 
A few locations where we’ll be passing during our tour:

1) Plaza de Cataluña – Plaça de Catalunya (Catalonia Square) has a surface area of 30,000 square meters. It is one of the largest squares in Spain and one of the most iconic sites of Barcelona.

2) Mercado de la Boqueria – The Mercat de la Boqueria (Boqueria Market) is officially known as Mercat de San Josep. It is a municipal market located on Las Ramblas in Barcelona. This charming market is an ideal place to buy fruit and vegetables which we will be able to taste, becoming an extremely popular attraction in town.

3) Gran Teatro del Liceu – Opened in 1847, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, most commonly known as “El Liceu”, is the oldest and most well-regarded Opera House in Barcelona. Throughout the years, it has remained open as a cultural and artistic centre and has become one of the city’s iconic symbols. It’s a building with an incredible history and we will be able to visit its interior as well. In addition, it is possible to rent their rooms for events, with spaces with a capacity of between 100 and 300 people (seated).

4) Mirador de Colón - The Mirador de Colón, also known as the Columbus Monument, is an impressive pillar dedicated to the explorer Christopher Columbus in Barcelona with an observation deck at the top. It sits at the end of La Rambla, very close to the city’s port. At the bottom part of the pillar are various sculptures related to the discovery of America accompanied by eight iron lions.
