Overview

Join this special Gaudí experience! Learn about modernism and the famous Catalan architect during a two hours walk. Have your hands-on experience in a workshop in the historic center where you will create your own souvenir in Gaudí´s mosaic style called Trencadís.

Why is there a dragon on the roof top? Why was a bat decisive in a battle? Where is the House of Bones? During the walking tour we will make the connection from medieval history and legends to what inspired Gaudí and other architects when designing buildings along the grand Passeig de Gracia. From street pavement to lamp posts – all have a story that we want to tell you!

The walk will lead us to Angelika´s workshop where you will learn the mosaic art named “Trencadís”. This technique - using materials such as shards of glass or ceramics - can be found on Gaudí´s work. After a short introduction you will learn the basics, handling of tools and how to create your first masterpiece such as a fridge magnet or the top of a box.

We would recommend this fabulous and interesting tour. We went with children aged 9-11. We all found Christian was engaging and knowledgable, with lots of good anecdotes. Because of the small group, there was plenty of time to ask questions. We all enjoyed the mosaic workshop - time for a little mosaic on a fridge magnet or box.

A wonderful experience in a very relaxed atmosphere. I had the pleasure to have a one-on-one walk-and-talk and it took me to wonderful places and great conversations that went beyond the realm of architecture! The ceramic workshop was a lot of fun and it feels very rewarding to go home with a little piece of "art". I will do it again for sure next time I'm in town! Can't wait!

This tour is a great combination-- 1st you get a chance to make a real mosaic - and appreciate the genius that went into all the designs around Barcelona. Our children loved the opportunity to create a small piece of the beauty that is Barcelona The highlight though was the Gaudi/Building tour with Christian! His insight and knowledge was unbelievable - he truly brought the city alive. Our children 18, 15 and 13 enjoyed his stories and really wanted to learn more. Great way to dive into the architecture of Barcelona.

What a wonderful afternoon! Our family (teens and their parents) so enjoyed our private tour of Barcelona with Christian! He is incredibly knowledgeable about Gaudí and “modernism” architecture. We traipsed around the city, stopping to look at fabulous architecture and hearing great stories along the way. Christian is a wonderful guide, had lots to share and made the two hours fly by. After our leisurely, two hour promenade, Christian handed us off to Angelika and we made lovely mosaics in her studio in an hour! We had our own private space, were offered to either make a magnet or decorate the top of a small box. We all chose the magnets and had such fun creating a pattern out of glass or ceramic tiles, a la Gaudí! We left on time with our beautiful work of art. We would all HIGHLY RECOMMEND this wonderful and unique experience! Thank you for such a fun filled and enjoyable afternoon!
