At the beginning of the century, the high class of Barcelona wanted to live in the city center. The most remarkable example of this desire is the Palau Guell, the house of the same Guell family that founded the construction of the Park Guell and the major patron of Gaudi’s work. Have a look at the facade of this private house, where a young Gaudi shows already all his talent to master the light and create beautiful shapes even with very limited space.

Continue your walking tour to discover the Raval, the most multicultural and off the beaten path district of the Old Town, that attracts people from diverse social, cultural and geographical backgrounds. Visit the Rambla del Raval to take a picture with the enormous Cat Statue by Fernando Botero, probably the cutest statue you will ever see.
