After giving you a tour of the exterior of the celebrated Sagrada Familia cathedral and explaining the true meaning behind it we'll meander through Barcelona's modern extension and explain how this part of the city came about - and why it could have been even more attractive.

 

As you walk we'll tell you about the roots of modernisme, the striking architectural style that characterises the Eixample, and introduce you to the men who created it.  We'll also tell you about Gaudi himself - his life, his influences and his tragic and avoidable death.

 

Our tour will take you past many of the other modernist buildings in the Eixample, reveal the details and the thinking behind them.  And, of course, we'll point out interesting shops and restaurants along the way.
