What We’ll Discover:
- La Lonja We’ll start with a Gothic mystery. I’ll show you the city’s “chilliest” gargoyle (yes, it’s wearing clothes) and the secret of the Virgin of the Frog. - Parque del Mar We’ll head down to the exact spot where the city was founded to understand how the sea used to crash against the city walls. - Paseo del Borne Did you know that some sphinxes caused a social scandal? We’ll discover the strange head that watches over the promenade and the reason behind the controversy. - The Cathedral (La Seu) Forget the postcards. We’ll talk about the secrets of its bell tower and some mysterious stone balls that hide a story that will surprise you. - The Old Jewish Quarter We’ll venture into the silence of Monti-Sión to trace the footsteps of the ancient synagogue. - San Francisco A love story between young people that ended in the most tragic way, a Virgin of the Lightning, and a tombstone that shouldn’t be there. - Santa Eulalia The site of numerous public executions, a cross with a dark past, and a mysterious single-hand clock. - City Hall We’ll finish by looking for the facade’s most famous “residents”: the snail and the lizard. Do you know why they’re there?
