Marcal es un guía excelente, además de la información sobre la Sombra del Viento que conoce muy bien, también maneja muy bien mucha información histórica y actual de Barcelona. Sin embargo, la mayoría de lugares son "inspiración" y toca usar la imaginación para obtener el sentido del libro.


Highlights

This literary walking tour takes you through the Barcelona of Carlos Ruiz Zafón's bestselling novel The Shadow of the Wind with an expert guide. Follow in the footsteps of the novel's characters, including Daniel Sempere, Julián Carax and Romero de Torres, through the lanes of the Gothic Quarter and the places that appear in the book. Pass landmarks such as Plaça Reial, Els Quatre Gats and Santa Maria del Mar while soaking up the atmosphere of early 20th-century Barcelona. You will also see places fans of the novel will love, such as the home and bookshop of "Sempere & Sons" and the Cemetery of Forgotten Books.


Program

Walk through the Barcelona of The Shadow of the Wind

Meet your guide at the Arts Santa Mònica art center on La Rambla and walk through the old town for about 2 hours 30 minutes. Your guide connects scenes from Carlos Ruiz Zafón's novel with the real places, so it feels like following in the footsteps of Daniel Sempere, Julián Carax and Romero de Torres.

From Plaça Reial to Els Quatre Gats

After exploring Plaça Reial, pass the Ateneu Barcelonès and walk around the Church of Santa Anna. Find the places where the Xampanyet tapas bar and Els Quatre Gats (The Four Cats) restaurant from the novel once stood, and stop for photos at Els Quatre Gats.

Explore the hidden lanes of the Gothic Quarter

Wander hidden lanes of the Gothic Quarter such as Carrer de Santa Anna, Carrer de Montcada and Baixada de la Llibreteria, and visit settings from the novel including the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, the asylum and the Arc del Teatre. You will also see the home and bookshop of "Sempere & Sons".

Pass Santa Maria del Mar and return to La Rambla

Pass the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, also known as the Cathedral of the Sea, walk around the Picasso Museum, and finish the tour at Rambla de Canaletes.

※ The route may change depending on local conditions.
