“Brilliant way to experience Barcelona and it’s architecture”

This is a tour that I would highly recommend for anyone living in / visiting Barcelona!
Joan is a brilliant guide, he is friendly, knowledgeable, passionate and engaging. You won’t get the “reading off the text book” treatment; our group had a very enjoyable dynamic conversation thanks to Joan. He doesn’t shy away from any questions! From his fanatic tour, I was able to experience and deepen my understanding on the relationship between Barcelona’s cultural /political influence and its architecture – and of course Gaudi’s works!

“Enjoy the architectural gems of Barcelona”

My sister and I were hosted by Juan on a wonderful walking tour of Barcelona’s architectural gems. He was a fantastic guide – very knowledgeable, patient, passionate and very interesting. I would thoroughly recommend.

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.

Guys you are amazing… We love our Walkers!

And we remind you that we also have this other walking tours

BARCELONA & THE SEA discover Barcelona through its architecture.

& THE FUTURE CITY walk through the smart city looking for our Future and discover with us the new Superblock at Poblenou.

& THE URBANISM travel with us to the origins of the modern Barcelona

Come on guys come and walk with us and live a inspiring experience!!!

Meet our Leading Walkers

Posted on July 14, 2016 by cm

Hi walkers!

Today we want to share with you some more personal details about our guides.

All of them have something special to tell us, so we consider important to share with you, Walkers!

Let’s begin with Joan Vitòria.

Here you can see him in full action!

“Architecture and urban development can not be understood without knowing the history, culture and society of the place. Therefore, I propose itineraries with a great deal of information on these issues and making leaps forward (forward) and backward (to the past), which allows to understand the context of each building and why its main features.

Not interested in memorizing facts but understanding the why of things. From this premise, raise itineraries to make people reflect and provide context everything that visit. So when I do not get much in architectural details or technical, but, however, I rather focus on the history, culture and society, both local and universal.”

Joan Vitòria i Codina

Studies in Barcelona and Berlin. Architect by ETSAB-UPC (2001).
Co-founder of El globus vermell (2009).
Co-curator of the exhibition “Sensible matter. Young catalan architects”.

Co-organizer of the Foros ESARQ (2007-2013).

Usually he leads our walking tours:

BARCELONA & GAUDI a great start to discover the genius of Gaudí.
