1.
Famous square that separates the old city of Barcelona from the modernist area known as the Eixample, where we will talk about the evolution of the city, the marks left by the fighting in the Spanish Civil War that can still be seen, before entering the Modernista area of the Eixample for the second part of the visit.

The most luxurious Paseo del Ensanche, the main street of the opulent Barcelona of the families of the Catalan bourgeoisie of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
3.
Elaborate modernist lampposts that decorate the Paseo de Gracia for more than a century, full of symbols and interesting details.
4.
The wonderful Casa Lleó i Morera is part of the famous Manzana de La Discordia, a set of modernist buildings without rival in Barcelona. The house, designed by the architect Domènech i Montaner at the beginning of the 20th century, is full of details about the life and thoughts of its creator and its owner, and guards many secrets on its facade.
5.
One of the best known modernist houses in Eixample, Casa Amattler, the work of the architect Puig i Cadafalch, was owned by a family of chocolate producers. We will talk about the history of chocolate at the time, the life of the Amatller and above all we will look for the symbols hidden on the facade. It is possible to go for free to the inner courtyard of the House, to admire the staircase, the old elevator and the refined sculptures.

Our private tour of Gaudi and Modernism with BeLocalTours was not only enlightening but truly exceptional. Their expertise provided us with deep insights into Spain’s history and Gaudi’s masterpieces. Highly recommend BeLocalTours for anyone looking to delve deeper into the essence of Spain!

We had a fabulous tour with Patrick and enjoyed every minute of it. He is very knowledgable and, being a Welshman, hit it off immediately with my English born husband. We were lucky enough to just be our family of three adults plus Patrick so we could take our time to learn everything Patrick had to teach us. Whilst being very knowledgable he was also a lot of fun with a fabulous sense of humour. We highly recommend Patrick and this amazing walking tour.

Five stars are too few to capture Patrick’s enthusiasm for and depth of knowledge of the subject. He was also helpful in helping us navigate our first metro ride in the city and identifying places to continue our explorations. Patrick is a first rate guide and we recommend him highly to anyone with an interest in learning about architecture and history in the Modernist era. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I did the Gaudí and Modernism tour with Patrick and it was fantastic! He really knew his stuff. While the tour was highly informative, he managed to keep it fun and laid back at the same time. Previously, I have done a tour with one of the larger companies in Barcelona, and although that too was very good, I think that Be Local Tours definitely have the edge. The fact that the Be Local groups are generally smaller definitely helps. I cannot recommend them enough! Spend a couple of hours on one of their tours and you really will come away feeling that you know Barcelona that little bit better. Thanks Patrick! I definitely hope to do another one of your tours next time I return to Barcelona.

My husband and I did an English-speaking Gaudi tour with Patrick the Gaudi Guide. Wow. Incredible storyteller. He really knew his stuff. And he was so passionate about the topic that, by the time it was over, WE were passionate about it too. He added some really helpful context and made the history of Barcelona architecture come to life. Neither of us knew anything about Gaudi when we arrived, but he really set the stage and made it easy to understand. By the time it was over, we had see a number of buildings, were fascinated by the different styles, and we could identify what makes these homes so unique. We’d definitely recommend Patrick specifically. The tour wouldn’t have been the same without him as the guide.

I took the Gaudi and Modernism tour with Patrick and I learned so much more! Patrick was amazing and very passionate. I strongly recommend this tour for anyone who visits Barcelona. The tour is not just about architecture but also about history, philosophy and politics! I have already visited Sagrada Familia by the time I took this tour and with Patrick I learned more things in 20 minutes than the tour guide from the basilica taught us in more than 1 hour. Great experience!
