This 1.5-hour walking tour takes you through Barcelona's old town after dark to hear about the city's dark history and ghost stories. Starting from El Raval and La Rambla, you walk through the narrow alleys of the Gothic Quarter to Barcelona Cathedral and the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar. A local guide tells you about the punishments of the Spanish Inquisition, traces of the Roman era, medieval crimes and executions, and legends still told today, right where they happened. Unlike a typical Gothic Quarter walking tour, it focuses on Barcelona's hidden side, such as murder, torture and the scars of war.
Barcelona is beautiful by day, but in the evening it shows a different face. Meet at Plaça del Canonge Colom, walk through El Raval and pass La Rambla and the Gran Teatre del Liceu while hearing about the terrible crimes that left deep scars on the city. A local guide who knows Barcelona's lesser-known history leads the tour in English.
Enter the narrow alleys of the Gothic Quarter, where traces of Roman ruins, medieval torture and the Spanish Inquisition remain. Visit old squares and forgotten corners where executions once took place, such as Baixada de Santa Eulàlia and Plaça de Sant Felip Neri, and hear true stories and legends tied to places said to be among the most haunted in the city.
Stand in front of the grand Barcelona Cathedral to hear about the shocking events that unfolded in its shadow, and learn the superstitions linked to the Bishop's Bridge. The tour ends at the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar. After the tour, you receive an e-guide with a local's recommendations for restaurants, rooftop bars and more.
