Here’s an overview of your tour
Gaudi is our most famous local, and his works of art mean so much to me and my city.
We'll start with discovering Gaudi's amazing Casa Batllo, and it's stunning symbolic facade. It's got a fascinating history that I'd love to share with you.
From there, we'll continue to walk along Barcelona's famous Passeig de Gracia and learn how the Eixample neighborhood was founded and why it's so important to Barcelona. Along Passeig de Gracia you'll get the chance to appreciate it's Modernisme (Art Nouveau) architecture with its decorative buildings and lamp posts with tiled benches.
Follow Gaudi's tiling on the sidewalks until you reach his apartment complex Casa Mila (also known as La Pedrera). Here I'll tell you why he felt the need to leave the building unfinished and why the rooftop is wavy.
The next stop will be his most famous work, La Sagrada Familia. We'll hop on the metro and ride just two stops, (or grab a taxi). As you familiarize yourself with the subway, you'll really feel like a local!
At La Sagrada Familia, I'll tell you how the outside tells the biblical story and find out why there is a mosaic of an evergreen tree on one side between the bell towers. After exploring the exterior, Ill explain the interior concept and you'll head inside, on your own, with your skip-the-line ticket and explore the interior of Gaudi's most significant work.
This tour can be fully customized to your wishes. Just let me know!
