Arc de Triomf
A short trip to the city of Gaudi?
Yes, please!
Whenever people talk about Barcelona their eyes light up. It’s a well known city of good food and design right on the beach. And that’s not even it. There is much more. The people are friendly, it’s clean and it has an awesome positive vibe. Also the Street Art Scene is very popular and it’s style remarkable.
In 2010 I guided a Street Art Tour in Cologne and thought there might be something like this in Barcelona. And there is, the Barcelona Street Style Tour, which I contacted straight away.
We met the guide on Easter Friday at the southwest side of the Arc De Triomf at 2pm for the “El Borne/ Gothic Quarter Street Excursion”. We were very lucky, as it was a bright and sunny day and the guide really showed us a great time. We walked two hours through the little alleys seeing sooo many pieces. Look what we found:
