The order of your tour will depend on whether you take a morning or afternoon excursion, but whichever you choose you will drive down the elegant Passeig de Gràcia, lined with luxury stores. Look out for modernist lampposts and Gaudí’s pavement tiles, as well as his Casa Batlló and Casa Milà apartment buildings.
Stop at his masterpiece, the unfinished Sagrada Familia, for a guided tour. Learn more about his unique concept of architecture. Next, take a scenic drive past the old port, where long beaches and the quaint fisherman’s quarter of Barceloneta separate it from the Olympic port. Drive up the hill to Montjuic for fantastic panoramas from the Mirador de l’Alcalde lookout.
After admiring the stadiums built for the 1992 Olympic Games, continue to Poble Espanyol, constructed for the 1929 Exhibition. See replicas of streets, monuments, and buildings from around Spain, and enjoy the open-air museum environment, where artisans practice traditional crafts of glass, ceramics, jewelry, fabrics, and more, often with a modern twist.
