Destination: Barcelona, Spain
Our tour will begin just outside the Gothic Quarter. Along the way we will visit the most important square of Catalunya; we will know what Romans, Muslims, writers, politicians and even dragons have to do with the current Catalan culture. Guarded with gargoyles, we will pass through Sant Felip Neri, a hidden gem built on a Gothic cemetery and whose history you can never forget. Our guide will help you avoid a curse – at the stunning neo-Gothic bridge known locally as the ‘Pont del Bisbe‘ or ‘Bishop’s Bridge’. The architect secretly incorporated a hidden skull with a dagger inside. Legend says anyone who crosses the bridge and sees the skull will fall prey to an evil spell. Not to worry, our guide knows what to do! Discover this and other emblematic points of the Gothic Quarter. Click here for the session handout (also available in the Resources section below)
At the end of the tour, join a Senior Planet trainer for an exclusive demonstration of CityMapper.
