BARCELONA WALK | Gothic Quarter incl. Narrow Streets, City Hall and Roman Wall | Spain
A first-person perspective Barcelona walk tour in the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic) of the city centre.
Experience all of the sights and sounds as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person) takes us on a walking tour through the streets of Barcelona, featuring a walk in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. The tour begins in Plaça Reial (Royal Plaza), then travels up Carrer de Ferran to Plaça de Sant Jaume (the large square where the City Hall and Government Building are located), then through narrow streets winding around Barcelona Cathedral, ending up in Plaça De Ramon Berenguer El Gran, in front of the Roman wall and Chapel of Santa Àgata, where the tour concludes.
Sights seen along the tour include Plaça Reial, the main square featuring Barcelona’s City Hall and Government Palace building, a bridge by Joan Rubió connecting buildings over Carrer del Bisbe, Barcelona Cathedral, a maze of narrow streets, street artists and musicians, a Roman wall, and the Chapel of Santa Àgata.
And in each video I've hidden a blinking eye, can you spot it? (It could appear more than once). In addition to the blinking eye, I've also added the Watched Walker logo to various scenes–it could be on buildings, vehicles or any other objects, so keep an eye out for it too!
Footage recorded June 2017.

Barcelona City Guide: Plaça de Catalunya - Travel & Discover
After the medieval city walls were demolished in the 19th century, ambitious designs for the city's public spaces were conceived under the guidance of notable urban planners. Plaça Catalunya was conceived as part of pla Rovira in 1859, but no official permission from the government was given until the 1888 Universal Exposition. It was urbanised for the first time in 1902 and was further modified in 1929, on the occasion of the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, which also included the construction of a metro station.

Catedral de Barcelona | Gothic Cathedral in Spain
We visited the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, also known as Barcelona Cathedral, it is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona, Spain.
The cathedral was constructed from the 13th to 15th centuries, with the principal work done in the 14th century.
Footage was taken with the Canon 1dx mark II, the lens used was the Canon EF 24‑70mm f/2.8L II USM, mounted on a Zhiyun crane 2. I was very impress how well the camera performed within the Catedral under very low lighting.

Barcelona - Ribera and Born walking tour
We're going to take you on a walking tour through the little back lanes of Barcelona exploring a neighborhood that many visitors miss. We' re going into La Ribera, and El Born. Only a few blocks east of the Cathedral and the famous Gothic Quarter, Ribera, is a local neighborhood – residential with shops, restaurants, bars, and it's a great place to visit. You will find many pedestrian lanes with no cars to upset the tranquility – it's an authentic slice of local life.
The route that we' re following brings you from one end to the other over to the big park and then back into the center of this walking zone. You don't really need a map but we've got some practical suggestions for you to help show you how to explore La Ribera and we will visit a Gothic church, and starting out at the concert hall, Palau de la Musica Catalana.
From Palau de la Musica we will take you along Carrer St. Pere over to the church and place of St. Pere and then down, around and over into the park and returning back over along Princesa to a couple of lovely pedestrian streets with malls and outdoor cafes, and continuing along back into the heart of this district, and then we'll do some meandering – kind of get lost a little bit, going this way that way to the Gothic church of Santa Maria Del Mar, and then back into the center of the Gothic Quarter.
Continue through the district of Sant Pere. The neighborhood is named after the former convent monastery of Sant Pere an ancient church on a small Plaza of Sant Pere.
This is a quieter part of town and it enjoys a slow pace of life in a world of its own, so you can hang out here for a while and just simply meander.
And as you walk along you're going to see the locals going about their business, shopping, talking, hanging out.
Here you can enjoy an ordinary working-class neighborhood set with an old-fashioned atmosphere a little bit off of the beaten track out from the center of Barcelona. It's fair to say that most tourists never get here.
A couple blocks south the Sant Pere neighborhood opens up, wider pedestrian lanes and more people. There's some shops and restaurants nearby. A lively neighborhood and it is just another block over to the big park where we find the Arc de Triomf. It was the main access gate for the 1888 Barcelona World's Fair, built in a redbrick Neo- Mudéjar style.
This is the Parc de la Ciutadella. Today it's the major park of Barcelona, a very popular spot, especially on a weekend.
Returning to the Old Town neighborhood of La Ribera visiting couple of lively little plazas. We're going to find that even though the residents don't have green parks, they do have lovely plazas and gathering places and pedestrian lanes and wide sidewalks along the streets, and with many big trees to enhance the environment.
You'll always see young families out with their kids, the local people walking the dog, and folks doing a little shopping, a little talking and doing a lot of sitting around at these cafes. The outdoor ambience of the place is really quite wonderful.

A Walk Around The Gothic Quarter of Barcelona
The Gothic Quarter is the centre of the old city of Barcelona. It stretches from La Rambla to Via Laietana, and from the Mediterranean seafront to Ronda de Sant Pere. It is a part of Ciutat Vella district.
The quarter was built primarily in the late 19th and early 20th century, though several buildings date from medieval times. Remains of the squared Roman Wall can be seen around Tapineria and Sots-Tinent Navarro to the north, Avinguda de la Catedral and Plaça Nova to the west and Carrer de la Palla to the south. El Call, the medieval Jewish quarter, is located within this area too.
The Barri Gòtic retains a labyrinthine street plan, with many small streets opening out into squares. Most of the quarter is closed to regular traffic although open to service vehicles and taxis.

Avila, Walk on the City Walls - Spain 4K Travel Channel
The city walls of Avila in Castile-Leon is the landmark of the city. The completely preserved wall is 2500 m long, 12 m high and has 2,500 merlons, 88 towers, and 9 city gates. Built between the 11th and 14th centuries, it served as a protection from attackers, as well as control of the movement of goods and defense against epidemics.
The city of Avila had its best time in the 16th century when the textile industry flourished. At that time, one built many Renaissance palaces that characterize the cityscape. Today the cultural and historical heritage of the city is unique. The cultural and town historical inheritance determines its uniqueness today.
In 1884, the city walls of Avila were registered as National Monument. Since 1985, they belong to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites.
Due to its altitude of over 1100 m of height Avila is a popular tourist destination in the midsummer, but the Christmas week is the most important tourist season.
Two important personalities put their stamp on Avila. Isabella the Catholic (Isabella I of Castile), who conceived the Inquisition here, and Teresa of Avila, who reformed the order of the Carmelites and founded numerous monasteries.
A walk on the city wall is a must for any visitor of Avila. There are 3 entrances. Two in the east and one in the west. We first choose one of the two in the east. It allows us to explore a part of the southern wall.
The entrance is right next to Calle Don Geronimo. At the square inside the wall, you find the building with the Ministerio De Economia Y Hacienda, that also houses the Cadastral Office (Gerencia Territorial del Catastro de Avila).
On the other side of the wall, you have a nice view of the monastery Parroquia de San Pedro Apostol and the square in front of it, Plaza de Santa Teresa de Jesus.
Once you reach the southern part of the wall, the eye is drawn to the Iglesia de Santiago.
We turn around and walk a little further along the east wall towards the cathedral. But soon the way ends.

Die Stadtmauer von Avila in Kastilien-Leon ist das Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Die 2500 m lange und 12 m hohe Mauer, mit ihren 2500 Zinnen, 88 Türmen und 9 Stadttoren, ist komplett erhalten. Errichtet wurde sie in der Zeit vom 11. - 14. Jahrhundert. Sie diente nicht nur als Schutz vor Angreifern, sondern auch der Kontrolle des Warenverkehrs und der Abwehr von Epidemien.
Die Stadt Avila erlebte ihre beste Zeit im 16. Jahrhundert, als die Textilwirtschaft blühte. In jener Zeit entstanden zahlreiche Renaissance-Paläste, die das Stadtbild prägen. Heute bestimmt das kulturelle und stadtgeschichtliche Erbe seine Einzigartigkeit.
Die Stadtmauer von Avila ist seit 1884 ein registriertes Nationaldenkmal und seit 1985 Teil des UNESCO Weltkulturerbes.
Aufgrund seiner Höhenlage in über 1100 m Höhe ist Avila auch im Hochsommer ein beliebtes Touristenziel, doch die Weihnachtswoche ist die bedeutendste Touristenzeit.
Zwei bedeutende Persönlichkeiten drückten Avila ihren Stempel auf. Isabella die Katholische (Isabella I. von Kastilien), die hier die Inquisition erdachte und Teresa von Avila, die den Karmeliter Orden reformierte und zahlreiche Klöster gründete.
Ein Spaziergang auf der Stadtmauer gehört zu Pflichtprogramm bei einem Besuch in Avila. Es gibt 3 Aufgänge. Zwei im Osten und einer im Westen. Wir wählen zuerst einen der beiden im Osten. Er erlaubt die Erkundung eines Teils der südlichen Mauer.
Der Aufgang ist direkt neben der Calle Don Germonimo. Der Platz innerhalb der Mauer wird eingerahmt vom Gebäude mit dem Ministerio De Economia Y Hacienda. Ausserdem befindet sich hier auch das Katasteramt (Gerencia Territorial del Catastro de Avila). Auf der anderen Seite der Mauer haben wir einen schönen Blick auf das Kloster Parroquia de San Pedro Apostol und den davor liegenden Platz (Plaza de Santa Teresa de Jesus).
Sobald man den südlichen Teil der Mauer erreicht, wird der Blick auf die Iglesia de Santiago gerichtet.
Wir kehren um und gehen nach dem Aufgang noch ein Stück auf der östlichen Mauer in Richtung Kathedrale. Doch bald ist auch hier Schluss.

Street artists on La Rambla Barcelona Spain -Tourist Information - Video Umberto Faraglia
La Rambla is exactly 1.2 kilometres long and nearly everyone who visits Barcelona walks along it. La Rambla was laid out in 1766, following the contours of the medieval city walls that had bounded this part of Barcelona since the 13th century. The locals took it to their hearts straightaway. In Barcelona, a city of narrow, winding streets, the Rambla was the only space where everyone could stroll and spend their leisure time. And we mean everyone. Because of its central location, the Rambla became a meeting place for all the social classes.
Gradually, leisure and cultural attractions found the perfect location on La Rambla. The convents disappeared and florists and newsstands set up there premises here. As you walk along, you’ll see landmark buildings, such as the greatest theatre of Barcelona’s opera, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the Palau de la Virreina and the spectacular Boqueria Market. This human river, with its street artists, tourists and locals, who still come here for a stroll, take us on a journey through this microcosm of contemporary Barcelona.
Where Where La Rambla meets the sea, we find the Mirador de Colom, a unique opportunity to admire this unique, green artery of pedestrians from the air.

The Walls of Ávila in central Spain, completed between the 11th and 14th centuries, The Walls of Avila are the city's principal historic feature.
The work was started in 1090 but most of the walls appear to have been rebuilt in the 12th century. The enclosed area is an irregular rectangle of 31 hectares with a perimeter of some 2,516 meters,including 88 semicircular towers. The Walls of Avila have an average breadth of 3 metres and an average height of 12 metres. The nine gates were completed over several different periods. The Puerta de San Vicente (Gate of St Vincent) and Puerta del Alcazar (Gate of the Fortress) are flanked by twin towers, 20 metres high, linked by a semicircular arch. The apse of the cathedral also forms one of the towers. The fortifications are the most complete in Spain.
It is possible to walk upon the Walls of Avila themselves for roughly half their circumference. Whilst some of the Walls of Avila will never be navigable in this way because of their integration into other structures, there is a large stretch of the Walls of Avila that have yet to be made safe for pedestrians. The Walls of Avila was registered as a National Monument in 1884. In 1985, the old city of Ávila and its extramural churches were declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
