About this tour
This walk covers Sarrià, a former independent town whose street pattern survived being absorbed into Barcelona. You see its small central square and a few of the original narrow streets behind it. It is a quieter, village-scaled session away from the city centre.
I move through the streets at an easy pace, pointing out where the old village pattern is still clearest, and take your questions throughout. Afterwards I send a short note on what we saw.
This suits anyone curious about Barcelona's absorbed towns rather than only its planned centre. It also pairs well with a session on Pedralbes Monastery nearby.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Escalivada and El Born, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Madrid time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
