Not Just Gaudí:
Modernist Barcelona
Modernist Barcelona
A walking tour through art, architecture, and the spirit of Modernist Barcelona
Modernist Barcelona, Step by Step
A walk through elegance, imagination, and the city’s most ambitious architectural moment.
This walking tour focuses on the L'Eixample district, where Barcelona reinvented itself at the turn of the 20th century.
We explore the area around Passeig de Gràcia and Diagonal, where some of the city’s most striking residential buildings and grand hotels were created.
Along the route, we look at works by Antoni Gaudí, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, and other modernist architects, always seen from the outside and placed in context.
We walk through the famous Block of Discord, where different visions of beauty and style stand side by side in open competition.
Rather than focusing only on names and dates, we talk about elegance, fantasy, and how modernist architecture shaped everyday urban life.
The tour can end with a closer look at the facades of the Sagrada Família, reached on foot or by a short taxi ride.
