  • Casa Batllo (Pass by)

    The tour begins at Casa Lleó-Morera, a Modernista gem on Passeig de Gràcia designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner. From there, we journey into the secrets of Casa Batlló and the contrasts of a changing Barcelona. Its organic shapes and shifting colors conceal symbols that reveal Gaudí’s beliefs, personal journey, and the political tensions of the turn of the century. Each architectural detail becomes a clue: what does the dragon-shaped roof represent? Why do the balconies resemble masks? This tour invites you to decode hidden messages, explore Modernisme as a form of rebellion, and uncover the social struggles of the era. It’s an immersive experience that blends history, art, and mystery—perfect for those who seek not just beauty, but the soul of a city still pulsing beneath its forms.

  • Casa Mila - La Pedrera (Pass by)

    Exploring Casa Milà, known as La Pedrera, from the outside is a journey into Gaudí’s boldest creative impulses during the height of Catalan Modernisme. Its undulating stone façade, seemingly sculpted by the wind, reveals an architecture that defies convention and conceals symbols tied to the architect’s spirituality and inner world. Every curve and texture speaks of his obsessions, his bond with nature, and the enigmas woven into his designs. What do the rooftop chimneys represent, standing like silent sentinels? What messages lie hidden in its organic forms? This tour invites you to look beyond the stone—to decode a visual symphony where art, mystery, and personal vision converge. From here, we cross the Eixample district toward Gaudí’s ultimate masterpiece: the Sagrada Família, where the tour concludes in awe of a vision still unfolding.

  • Basilica de la Sagrada Familia (Pass by)

    Observing the Sagrada Familia from the outside is to step into Gaudí’s monumental dream—one shaped by challenges, vision, and unwavering faith. Its façades speak volumes: the Nativity, vibrant and symbolic; the Passion, stark and haunting; and the Glory, still under construction, a testament to a work that defies time. Throughout the tour, the difficulties Gaudí faced come to light: limited resources, skepticism, and a technical ambition far ahead of his era. He applied groundbreaking methods—suspended models, ruled geometry, and nature-inspired structures—that continue to astonish engineers and artists today. This experience is not just a glimpse of a temple, but a deep dive into the creative process of an extraordinary mind. Perfect for those who seek to understand how perseverance, innovation, and artistry can turn a vision into legacy.
