Itinerary

Educational Gaudí for Young Minds

Start at Plaça Sant Agustí Vell 16

Tour Briefing & Bike Setup

We begin our tour in the historic Born district, a neighborhood rich in medieval history and modern culture. At Plaça Sant Agustí Vell 16, our expert guide will welcome the group and provide a brief introduction to the tour, explaining the route, key highlights, and safety measures.

Before setting off, we ensure that each student has a properly adjusted bike and helmet. Our guide will also give a short demonstration on safe riding practices in Barcelona, covering hand signals, traffic rules, and group coordination to ensure a smooth and enjoyable ride. Once everyone is ready, we start our journey through the city’s artistic and historical wonders.

Casa Batlló

A Dreamlike Masterpiece

Pedaling through the elegant streets of the Eixample district, we arrive at Casa Batlló, one of Antoni Gaudí’s most surreal and imaginative works. Its colorful mosaics, flowing organic shapes, and skeletal balconies make it look like something out of a dream.

Here, students will uncover how Gaudí transformed an ordinary building into a living piece of art, defying traditional architecture with a design inspired by nature. Every detail—whether the shimmering blues of the façade or the dragon-like rooftop—tells a story, making this stop a fascinating blend of art, architecture, and creativity.

Casa Milà (La Pedrera)

Architecture Without Limits

A short ride along Passeig de Gràcia brings us to Casa Milà, also known as La Pedrera. This bold and unconventional building is a testament to Gaudí’s genius, with its undulating stone façade and sculptural chimneys that resemble medieval warriors.

This stop challenges the way we think about architecture. Why do buildings have to follow straight lines? Can a home be both functional and a work of art? As we admire its groundbreaking design, students will see how imagination can shape the world around us.

Passeig de Gràcia

The Avenue of Modernism

We continue along Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona’s most elegant boulevard and a symbol of the city’s transformation in the 19th century. This avenue was once just a dusty road connecting the old city to the village of Gràcia, but visionaries turned it into a showcase of modernist creativity.

As we ride, we pass historic buildings, high-end boutiques, and grand mansions, seeing firsthand how Barcelona became a hub of artistic and architectural innovation.

Sagrada Família

A Vision That Defies Time

Riding through the Eixample, we reach Barcelona’s most breathtaking landmark: Sagrada Família. This basilica is more than just a church—it’s a living masterpiece that has been under construction for over 140 years.

Here, students will discover Gaudí’s revolutionary ideas, where towering spires mimic nature, light filters through stained-glass windows like a kaleidoscope, and every sculpture tells a deeper story. The guide will unravel the mysteries of its unfinished construction, explaining why it remains one of the most awe-inspiring buildings in the world.

End of the Tour:

Returning to Plaça Sant Agustí Vell

As our ride comes to an end, we return to where it all began. This tour has been more than just a sightseeing experience—it has been a dynamic journey through Barcelona’s artistic, architectural, and cultural legacy.

Students leave not only with incredible memories but with a deeper understanding of how history, creativity, and bold ideas can shape a city.
