Barcelona Architecture Walks fantastic reviews

Hi Walkers! Here you have another amazing opinions about our Barcelona Architecture Walks and our leading architects.

Usually we are showing to you, the best reviews we receive, because this is the best reward for our work!

As you know, we love that we do, so we are very happy to share this with you…

Here it is!

“Opened our eyes to Barcelona”

My friends and I went on the “Barcelona and the Future” tour with Carola, and it was excellent! Very informative and interesting with a nice balance of historical context and contemporary issues. It’s easy to go to Barcelona just to party and eat delicious food, but it has a rich history and world-class urban planning that we were happy to learn more about. I would definitely sign up for additional tours with them!

“Excellent way to discover the city”

We booked two walks to visit Barcelona with our 10 year old son: Barcelona and Gaudi and Barcelona and the sea.
We all enjoyed the tours very much, it was a fun and interesting way to discover the city, its history and the secrets of its architecture.

The Barcelona and Gaudi tour allowed us to understand what Gaudi had in mind, how he evolved and how he designed his buildings. The tour doesn’t take you inside the buildings so once you have done this tour, be sure to visit the inside of the buildings and you will really understand what they are all about.

Barcelona and the Sea is more about the history of the city and its people. We learned a lot and it was a really nice walk.

The company also gave us advice for restaurants, they are really friendly and helpful.

We remind you that Spring is an amazing moment to walk beside us!

These are all the Walking Tours you have:

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

& 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.

& THE MARKET see Barcelona through the eyes of Enric Miralles.

COME ON GUYS LET’S WALK WITH US AND LIVE A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!

BAW 3. ILDEFONS CERDA

Posted on December 5, 2012June 5, 2015 by admin

What’s a city? / Revolución Industrial / Modernity / Vias e Intervias / Science of Urbanization / 22@ / Sidewalks …..

En verano de 1859 inicia su andadura la Barcelona del Presente, se aprueba el proyecto de su Ensanche y con él nacen dos iniciativas históricas: la primera personal de su diseñador D. Ildefons Cerdà por trascender lo concreto creando la nueva ciencia de la Urbanización y la otra de la ciudad de Barcelona por denostar y desprestigiar a este Ingeniero de ideas progresistas.

Con la BAW.3 viajaremos al origen de las líneas maestras que trazó Ildefons Cerdà sobre el plano de Barcelona, aquella malla cuadrangular de 133×133 m sin límites ni jerarquías ni periferias que ha otorgado a Barcelona la condición de ciudad racional y avanzada tanto técnica como socialmente.

Deambulando entre patios de manzana y la cuadrícula ilimitada hablaremos de comunicación e internet, de vías e intervias, de despotismo ilustrado y 22@ y de la riqueza arquitectónica de la Barcelona de Cerdà.

In Summer of 1859, the Barcelona of today started its journey with the approval of the project of its expansion and with the two historical initiatives born with it: the first personal of its designer M. Ildefons Cerdà went beyond the concrete creating the new science of Urbanization and the second one of the city of Barcelona to denounce and discredit the progressively-minded Engineer.

With the BAW.3 we will travel to the origins of the master lines Ildefons Cerdà drew on Barcelona’s plane, that quadrangular mesh of 133×133 m without limits or hierarchies or outskirts which has grant Barcelona the reputation of a technically and socially intelligent city.

Wandering around courtyards and the expansive grid we will talk about communication and internet, ways and between-ways, of enlightened despotism, 22@ and about the architectural richness of the Barcelona of Cerdà.

Where: Left Eixample until arriving to Plaza de España.
