Barcelona & Gaudi Walking Tour

Posted on by cm

BARCELONA & GAUDI Walking Tour, something else than a typical tour…

Hi Walkers! This week we continue sharing with you our differents Walking Tours. This time Barcelona & Gaudi, a different way to discover Barcelona modernism through Gaudi’s masterpiece!

Along the Modernism Route, we will trace the sinuous dream path that took Antoni Gaudí from his social concerns to a total absorption with the divine, until he finally became “the last great cathedral builder.”

Our aim is to delve into the architectural essence of the Master and dig deep into his visual power, which is what made him an inspiration for the Surrealists and has earned him the honor of being the Best-Known Spanish Architect.

Our discussion will focus on a set of turning points that include a project in early 20th-century Manhattan, the last commission from his patron, Eusebi Güell, and his first architectural steps with the Sagrada Família.

We will talk about eclecticism and the end of modernism, the Crypt of Colony Güell and the Sagrada Família, utopian socialism, positivist materialism, the intellectual bourgeoisie, the Spanish Civil War, anarchism, beatification and deliquescent surfaces.

We will see the Antoni Tàpies Foundation and Casa Lleó Morera by Domènech i Montaner, Casa Amatller by Puig i Cadafalch, some hidden Eixample courtyards and, of course, Casa Calvet, Casa Batlló and Casa Milà by Antoni Gaudí.

Barcelona & Gaudi and Barcelona & Urbanism Great reviews

Hi Walkers!  Another week here we are with some amazing reviews about our Barcelona & Gaudi and Barcelona & Urbanism Walking Tour this time lead by Martina…

“Urbanism walking tour – in L’Example”

We had a great time with Martina, an architect and illustrator. She came ready prepared with a giant folder of excellent demonstration props and materials…maps and imagery to interpret our surroundings. She was attentive and thoughtful and very responsive to our badgering questions! It ended up just being two of us (my wife and myself), but the tour wasn’t cancelled and so it was excellent value for money. It was my 40th birthday treat and it was very, very worth it.

“Excellent start to our trip in BCN”

We spent a gorgeous morning walking with Martina on the Barcelona + Gaudi tour – it was so full of history, knowledge and context that it set us up to appreciate the entire city and our entire trip through a richer lens. We loved every moment of it and learned so much. Barcelona is an amazing destination, but the tour was really a standout. The tours or audioguides at many of the sights are perfunctory at best, and going on the walk really helped us see everything with better nuance. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Excellent tour about Gaudi’s Masterpiece!

Hi Walkers! Today some amazing reviews about our Barcelona & Gaudi  walking tour and our guides…

“Great interaction with locals and you learn so much more!!!”

Had a perfect walking tour with Miguel hosting us through the walk on Gaudi’s architecture. It was extremely informative and interesting. Miguel was very passionate about sharing his ideas on architecture and giving us way more stories about the city of Barcelona than I would have expected from the tour.

I would encourage anyone and everyone to attend at least one tour, as I would have if my itinerary allowed. Next time, the Market tour!!! As Arnold would say it, I will be back!!!

“Excellent tour, great guide”

Loved the way the walk was organized and explained – it linked the history of the city with the architectural movements around the world and it explained in great detail the innovative aspects of the Catalonian modernism. Our guide, Martina was a lovely person, friendly who showed great knowledge and passion for what she does.

Gaudi Walking Tour Nice Review

Posted on by cm

 Hi Walkers! Gaudi Walking Tour Review

This week we want to share with you a nice review about our BARCELONA & GAUDI walking tour lead by our leading architect Miguel Angel.

It was a nice walk with an Australian family with two girls, whose have been enjoying and learning about Gaudi and the Barcelona modernism with our Barcelona & Gaudí walking tour.

Allways is fantastic walk with childrens!

“Gaudi Tour”

I don’t usually leave reviews, but the tour with Miguel was excellent. His knowledge and obvious passion for the subject, really brought architecture and specifically Gaudi alive for our family. Even our girls (aged 11 & 9) loved it. And the extra bonus for us, was that kids under 12 were free!
My wife & I both thought it was a fantastic intro to the city and would highly recommend it to anyone. Many thanks again Miguel & especially for your passion. Don’t change!

Hi Walkers!

This week we’re very proud about these reviews left by one of the last Walkers about our BARCELONA & GAUDI  walking tour lead by our leading walkers Ricard, Joan and Jordi…

Here you have!

“Perfect way to start our time in Barcelona”

We had a great time on our Gaudi walk with Ricard and learned a lot about Barcelona’s history, and of course Gaudi. I highly recommend this walk if you are planning to visit Gaudi’s main sites. It gave us a great foundation of knowledge. I think the pricing is a great value for what you get. If I visit Barcelona again, I would like to do one of the other walks!

“Understanding Barcelona through architecture”

I went only a Barcelona Architecture Walks tour with Joan recently. It was a brilliant way to understand Barcelona’s history and development. It helped me to appreciate the invaluable contribution Gaudi and some of the other modernisme architects made to Barcelona. I would heartily recommend the tour, even if you’re not deeply interested in architecture.

 “A great way to understand Barcelona’s incredible buildings”

We loved our Gaudi walk with Jordi, who was very friendly, knowledgable and interesting to listen to. We learnt so much about how the city of Barcelona was formed and developed, with fascinating insights and context for appreciating Gaudi’s work. You don’t need to know anything about architecture to enjoy this walk, there’s something in it for everyone.

It was great having an architect as a guide. Jordi was able to answer our questions and he clearly loves unravelling the mysteries of the buildings of barcelona. Next time we visit, I’d love to do the future walk.
