Barcelona Park Güell and Gràcia Self-Guided Audio Walk: Casa Vicens, Plaça del Diamant and Gaudí's Gate

About this experience

Before it was part of Barcelona, Gràcia was a town of farms, and each farm became a grid of narrow streets around its own square. Walk that story from Gaudí's first house, Casa Vicens, through the squares its landowners built. A jeweler named the streets around the Plaça del Diamant after his stock. The Virreina is named for a viceroy's widow. In the Plaça de Rovira i Trias, a bronze architect sits above the Eixample plan he won and never built. Then climb Carrer de Larrard, too steep for the tram the city refused in 1910, to Park Güell's main gate: Gaudí's tiled gatehouses, the medallions that advertised the plots, and a palm-leaf gate that came from Casa Vicens. Of the sixty houses planned, two were built. Ten stops, about 2.4 km and 90 minutes, flat for the first half, then a steady climb with no steps. Ends outside the gate; Park Güell tickets are timed and sold separately, and Casa Vicens entry is not included.

What's included

From Gaudí's first house through Gràcia's squares, Diamant, Virreina, Nord and Rovira i Trias, then up Carrer de Larrard to Park Güell's main gate, its gatehouses and its palm-leaf gate.
