About this experience
Bourgeois, business, industrial - this is how Barcelona will appear before you on our tour. You will hear amazing stories about people whose business ideas have forever changed the life and appearance of the city, you will see Gaudi and the Sagrada Familia in a new light, and discover a Barcelona you didn't know existed.
What to Expect
15 stories of the city and its inhabitants
The starting point of bourgeois Barcelona, which you will immerse yourself in, was the end of the 19th century. We will ride through the neighborhoods built at that time. We will see the houses of prominent businessmen who could afford to commission a new housing project from Gaudi himself. The houses of Rokamora, Llon and Morera, Ballo, Mila, the widow of Mafra and Baron Cuadros - the most beautiful buildings of Barcelona will appear before you, revealing the stories of their former owners. In addition, I will tell you how and why Catalan businessmen sponsored the construction of the Sagrada Familia church. At the Triumphal Arch and Ciutadella Park, we will talk about how the local guild of businessmen presented themselves at an international exhibition. And then we will ride along the promenade, magnificently rebuilt for the Olympics.
Barcelona in the atmosphere of the 20s
Quite unexpectedly, you will find yourself in the Poble Nou district, which will transport you to the industrial Barcelona of the beginning of the last century. You will see factories where people from all over Spain came to work. Boulevards, houses of factory overseers, cafes where anarchists met to plan the next protest action with explosions and shootings: everything in Poble Nou preserves the spirit of that time, and I will help you feel it.
