Barcelona's Gothic Quarter: 10-Stop Walking Tour

A short narrated guide to Barcelona's Gothic Quarter rather than an ambient walk: in about 17 minutes a local guide takes you to ten stops and explains each one. You hear about the city's Roman roots, its medieval growth, its trading empire and Columbus, and the legend of the Bishop's Bridge.

Later stops cover the old Jewish quarter, the scars the Civil War left on the walls of a quiet square, and the Catalan flags and politics of Plaça de Sant Jaume. Watch it before one of the long silent walks to know what you are looking at.
