Barcelona El Born Self-Guided Audio Walk: Palau de la Música, Santa Maria del Mar and the Born Market

About this experience

Barcelona's Ribera, the old quarter by the sea, paid for its own landmarks. A choir raised its concert hall by public subscription, and the port's porters carried the stone for their own church. Then, after the siege of 1714, dozens of its streets were pulled down for a fortress. Start at the convent church that gave the quarter its name, read the Palau de la Música's mosaic corner, and see Santa Caterina market's colored roof above its old arcade. Pass a Romanesque chapel and walk Carrer de Montcada, the merchants' street of the Picasso Museum. Stand before Santa Maria del Mar, pause at the 1714 graveyard, and follow the Passeig del Born to the iron market where the razed streets lie open. End at the Ciutadella park gate. Ten stops, about 2 km and 75 minutes, flat and step-free, at your own pace, in English. Entry to the Palau, the Picasso Museum and the church's paid visit is not included.
