About this tour
This evening walk covers Poble Sec as it shifts from market hours to bar hours. You see the market building closing for the day and then a row of small bar fronts on Carrer Blai, known for its pintxos culture. It traces one street's change from afternoon to evening.
I start at the market as it closes and walk toward Carrer Blai as the bars fill up, explaining the shift as we go. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short list of the street names afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants a feel for the neighbourhood's evening rhythm. It also pairs well with a session on the Magic Fountain a short walk away.
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
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

Good to know

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Barcelona, showing you Poble Sec Market and Bar Fronts on Carrer Blai live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Is this suitable if I do not drink?
Yes. Say so when you book and the guide will focus on the atmosphere and venues rather than the drinks list.
How it works
