Barcelona Casa Batlló and La Pedrera Self-Guided Audio Walk: Passeig de Gràcia and the Block of Discord

About this experience

Barcelona's most famous street began as a country road. When the city walls fell, an engineer's grid of square blocks with cut-off corners turned it into a grand avenue, and Barcelona's wealthy families moved in. Start at Plaça de Catalunya, a square the original plan left out, and walk up the leafy Rambla de Catalunya to the Block of Discord: Casa Lleó Morera with its crowned corner, Casa Amatller's Flemish gable and Gaudí's Casa Batlló, with its scaly roof and mask balconies. See the Museu Tàpies's brick and iron and its cloud on the roof, stand in one of the grid's cut corners among the lamp-benches and Gaudí's hexagonal paving, then face La Pedrera, the stone wave that broke the building rules. End through a palace garden at the top of the Passeig. Ten stops, about 2 km and 75 minutes, at your own pace, in English. Entry to Casa Batlló, Casa Amatller and La Pedrera is not included; every stop works from the street.
