Streets, Markets and Everyday Life in Barcelona: audio walks

Shopping, working and celebrating also organise Barcelona's history. This theme follows streets, markets and meeting places to approach the everyday city. The walks look at what happened between the buildings: who occupied the street, what people did there and how those activities gave meaning to different neighbourhoods and routes.

In “Barceloneta”: The market, the barber's shop turned co-operative and thirty-square-metre homes bring the neighbourhood's everyday life to the seafront.

In “Gràcia”: You start in Plaça del Raspall, with two explanations for its name and rumba in its streets, and carry on to the chimney of a factory that burned down and the market its owner built.

In “La Rambla, from Canaletas”: You start at Canaletas, where La Rambla was a stream bed running beside the city wall, and where Barça's titles are celebrated today.

Choose from 4 independent walks in Barcelona. Open the one that interests you to see its map, stops and approximate duration before deciding. You don't need to do them all or follow this selection's order; each walk has its own starting and finishing points.
