Barcelona video city walk

The Gothic Quarter is the part of Barcelona that makes least sense from a map and most sense on foot. Lanes fold back on themselves, open into a square with a fountain and four palm trees, and close again into something two metres wide. The city around it is on a grid; this bit predates the grid by centuries and behaves accordingly. These walks stay inside that contrast, at pavement level, with the sound of the street left intact.

Common questions

What do two of the four Barcelona walks cover?

One works through the Gothic Quarter in daylight, ending up in the arcaded squares. The other is the same district plus La Rambla and El Born in the evening, when the terraces take over and the lanes turn into a single moving crowd.

Is the audio the real street?

Yes. There is no music and no narration. The speaker button in the dock brings in the walk’s own recorded sound.
