L'Eixample District
After checking out the neighborhood’s most important highlights, we will set our focus on Modernism, crossing the Eixample district and marveling at its iconic Modernist architecture. L'Eixample was designed by Ildefons Cerdà after 1895 , to expand the city. (The word “Eixample” actually means “expansion” in Catalan).

Crossing the streets of this elegant neighborhood, you will remark that Cerdà’s idea of urban planning was revolutionary and utopian.

This was Barcelona´s 19th-century answer to the overcrowding of the medieval city and Gaudi´s favorite neighborhood to work in. In Eixample, you will pass by some of his most spectacular works, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Casa Batlló and Casa Milà.

Excellent Bike Tour

We loved the Small group bike tour of the city. Our guide Jordi was fantastic. He is friendly, fun and very informative. I highly recommend this tour to see many highlights of the city and to learn about the history and culture of Barcelona.
Great Tour!

What an excellent tour. Our guide Jordi was so lovely and informative.
We were 20 minutes late, and Jordi was very accommodating and worked the tour around us.
Would highly recommend.
Amazing!

Thé tour was by far, the best activity I could have done in Barcelona! Alfredo was the best guide! It felt like spending a few hours with a friend, showing us around, and not with someone doing their job. The cycle was easy, the stops were ideal and they came with a history lesson ( Alfredo had this well put together folder with timelines of Barcelona, it was amazing).
I 100% recommend it!

Alfredo is such a credit to the company! Thank you, for the best understanding I could have had of Barcelona, on my first of hopefully many more visits to come.
