What's included in Barcelona Dark History Walking Tour and Pub Crawl
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar
You might not think a basilica is an appropriate starting point for a pub crawl, but you’d be wrong. Catalans can get a little crazy when they party, and monks and nuns have always been a part of that history. We’ll start with an introduction into Barcelona’s bizarre traditions before heading to the first bar.
El Born
El Born is Barcelona's former red light district and here you'll learn the secrets of spotting a 14th century brothel along with other legends surrounding the sex culture of the city. We'll also head to a hidden graveyard for a dose of paranormal activity before visiting some bars where we'll try Spanish vermouth, white sangria and a local shot, unique to Barcelona.
Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic)
Wander the winding streets of Barcelona's oldest neighbourhood and head to a modern, atmospheric bar to socialise over a surprise cocktail before singing karaoke. Although the tour is over, the night has just begun. You'll head to a fancy cocktail bar for more dancing before continuing the night with newfound friends!
