Barcelona Gothic Quarter walking tour
Barcelona Gothic Quarter walking tour takes us to some of the main plazas of town and those charming little pedestrian lanes.
While Barcelona has many famous sites and museums, one of the great pleasures is just hanging out, just taking a stroll, sitting down relaxing, watching the people go by. We'll visit Plaza St Jaume, Plaça de Sant Josep Oriol, the Rambla, Les Quinze Nits, Carrer de Jaume, Barcelona Cathedral, with highlights of the Mercè Festival Barcelona.
And we'll see the grand plaza of the Plaça Reial, that's the Royal Square, built in the nineteenth century. It's surrounded by magnificent arcades on all sides and anchored by a grand fountain in the center.
While this is a very popular touristic destination, it's also a public space that's utilized by the locals, especially when they're putting on an outdoor concert at one of their various festivals.
On Sundays they have a flea market with antiques and collectibles. The street market could be a good place to pick up an authentic souvenir – better than a tourist shop, but perhaps the main attraction of the Royal Square are the many restaurants lining it all the way around.
It's even more lively at night than during the day, primarily because of all the busy restaurants and it's like an outdoor living room for the people who live here. Even if you're not hungry this is certainly an interesting spot to pass through in the evening.
There's even a couple of small deluxe hotels on the square and just looking around at all the food, restaurants you'll quickly work up an appetite.
And don't hesitate to take a walk at night in the heart of Barcelona, for example, once again back out here on the Rambla. It really is quite safe because there are so many people around, the streets are pretty well lit. You don't want to miss out on that, and the Spaniards, as you know stay up late so the restaurants are open.
One of the busiest pedestrian streets is Carrer de Jaume, which is actually part of a much longer street that goes from one end of downtown to the other, changing names to Carrer de la Princesa and as we saw earlier, Carrer de Ferran.
That culinary favorite of pizza is always available, and gelato – that could be your staple dishes in town, along with the tapas and the vino.
This lively street inevitably leads into its namesake the Plaça St Jaume, where City Hall is located, other government buildings and lots of people. Tonight there was a special event, part of the Mercè Festival, lighting up the buildings with moving illuminations and music.
Over 100 events with music and dance performances take place on that Mercè Festival weekend. We will show you a little bit more of this and the sardana dance at the end of the show.
And if you enjoyed the movie, how about a thumbs up, and we always welcome comments down below.

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.

BEST TAPAS IN BARCELONA!! First trip to Spain & Visiting Barcelona Gothic Quarter
Welcome to our first trip to Spain and our first time enjoying traditional tapas in the beautiful Gothic Quarter of Barcelona! We thought we'd use our 1st wedding anniversary as an excuse to travel to beautiful Spain because, why not?!
We travel down to the Southend on Sea Airport to fly to Barcelona. We flew into Reus Airport just outside of Barcelona as it has cheap flights from the UK. We then hired a car and made our way into Barcelona along some of the most beautiful coastal roads.
We check into our airbnb before heading to the metro to make our way into the Barcelona Gothic Quarter. We were in search of traditional Spanish food, preferably tapas, and ended up enjoying the best food in Barcelona. We found the most amazing restaurant called Bodega Biarritz in the Barcelona Gothic Quarter and had the BEST tapas in Barcelona!! The traditional tapas was all foods from the local area. The restaurants most popular meal choice was a mystery meal that consisted of a random selection of tapas and that's the one we chose. We told them I was vegetarian and that Jori ate meat. Throughout the night they brought us tapas after tapas as we finished the previous dish. It was such a fun experience and we were able to try so many tapas dishes. We also enjoyed some delicious Sangria!
Stay tuned for the rest of our Spain vlogs!!

We are Jori and Malika, a couple from Australia living in the U.K., and documenting our adventures all around the world. We publish a weekly travel vlog to share with our friends and family, and we'd love for you to come with us ????
We started Beyond Your Doorstep as a way of documenting our travel so that we could look back on it ourselves. We started off posting photos, and then blogging, and now we vlog basically everywhere we go. We know travel is hard, and it's expensive, so we try and keep it as real as possible. Jori works as an engineer and Malika works as a waitress (*it's weird talking in the 3rd person*) ????We live in a little countryside town in England where we work 9-5 most of the year. We live in a tiny studio apartment and try to keep our costs down as much as possible. We travel whenever we can and edit our vlogs at night and on the weekends. It's a pretty huge workload but we love reliving our adventures as we edit and publish our travel vlogs. We may not be the quintessential digital nomad travel couple, but we love this adventure we're on!
We love seeing new places, experiencing new cultures, and tasting food from all over the world! Join us on our journey exploring this beautiful planet we all call home!
If you've read this far, thank you so so so much ❤️We hope you subscribe (and hit the bell) to join us on our adventures ❤️

Barcelona, Barri Gotic and Back to Germany - Spain 4K Travel Channel
We still want to spend an afternoon in the Barri Gotic, the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, before returning to Germany. After we arrived with the Renfe high-speed train from Madrid. The next morning we have to take the train via Paris to Saarbrücken and so we have booked the Expo Hotel Barcelona at the station Barcelona-Sants again.
We take the metro to Rambla. First, we pass the church of Santa Maria de Pi and continue to the Placa de Saint Jaume, the main square of the city.
Here is the town hall, with a large banner Refugees welcome. The Mayor of Barcelona denounces the policy of the central government in Madrid, which does not want a welcome culture for refugees.
Directly opposite is the Palau de la Generalitat. The medieval palace houses the offices of the Presidency of the Generalitat de Catalunya. We do not stop for a long time but walk over the Placa de Sant Miquel, which is decorated by the Monumento a los Castellers.
Via the Carrer de Ferran, a popular shopping street, we reach Placa Reial, the royal square. The square, surrounded by arcades, dates back to the 19th century and was built in the classical style. Jugglers and street musicians try to drag the tourists into the spell, but as soon as the police show up they disappear. They play cat and mouse.
Due to the many restaurants and bars, the square is now very popular, after being a popular drug market in the 1980s.
The square is decorated with palm trees. The famous street lanterns are from Gaudi. If one does not come from the Rambla, one can easily overlook the square, since, except for the wide access from there, it has only three gateways openings in the surrounding narrow streets.
We go back through the Carrer de Ferran to the Placa del Rei, the King's Square. It is one of the landmarks of Catalonia and is the seat of the counts of Barcelona and the kings of Aragon.
The Placa del Rei was also the historical center of the city in the Roman era. Here stood the Temple of Augustus.

Wir wollen noch einen Nachmittag durch das Barri Gotic, das gotische Viertel in Barcelona streifen, bevor es wieder zurück nach Deutschland geht. Nachdem wir mit dem Renfe Hochgeschwindigkeitszug von Madrid angekommen sind und am nächsten Morgen wieder über Paris nach Saarbrücken fahren, haben wir uns wieder in dem uns bereits bekannten Expo Hotel Barcelona am Bahnhof Barcelona-Sants einquartiert.
Mit der Metro fahren wir zur Rambla. Zunächst kommen wir bei der Kirche Santa Maria de Pi vorbei und gehen weiter zur Placa de Saint Jaume, dem eigentlichen Hauptplatz der Stadt. Hier befindet sich das Rathaus, an dem ein großes Plakat „Refugees welcome“ hängt. Damit prangert der Bürgermeister von Barcelona die Politik der Zentralregierung in Madrid an, die eher keine Willkommenskultur für Flüchtlinge möchte.
Direkt gegenüber ist der Palau de la Generalitat. Der mittelalterliche Palast beherbergt die Büros des amtierenden Präsidenten Kataloniens. Wir halten uns nicht lange auf sondern gehen über die Placa de Sant Miquel, die das Monumento a los Castellers ziert.
Über die Carrer de Ferran, eine beliebte Einkaufstrasse erreichen wir die Placa Reial, den königlichen Platz. Der von Arkaden umsäumte Platz stammt aus 19. Jahrhundert und ist im klassizistischen Stil errichtet worden. Gaukler und Straßensänger versuchen die Touristen in den Bann zu ziehen, doch sobald irgendwo die Polizei auftaucht sind sie verschwunden. Sie liefern sich ein Katz und Maus Spiel.
Durch die vielen Restaurants und Bars ist der Platz mittlerweile aber sehr beliebt, nachdem er in den 1980er Jahren ein beliebter Drogenmarkt war.
Palmen lockern den Platz auf, berühmt sind aber die Straßenlaternen von Gaudi. Wenn man nicht von der Rambla kommt, kann man den Platz leicht übersehen, da er, außer dem breiten Zugang von dort, nur drei Tordurchgänge in umliegende schmale Straße besitzt.
Wir gehen durch die Carrer de Ferran wieder zurück zur Placa del Rei, dem Königsplatz. Er ist eines der Wahrzeichen von Katalonien und ist der Sitz der Grafen von Barcelona und der Könige von Aragonien.
Die Placa del Rei war auch das historische Zentrum der Stadt in der Römerzeit. Hier stand der Augustustempel.

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.

Barcelona part 2 Rambla and Gothic Quarter
We begin this walking tour in the main square at the center of Barcelona, Plaça de Catalunya -- a patch of greenery, with trees, lawns, fountains and benches, and flanked by two large department stores, El Corte Ingles and FNAC. Barcelona's modern shopping district is just north, and the Old Town is just south. Catalunya is a transit hub, with several metro and commuter trains underneath, major bus stops all around, and nine streets leading into it. You can catch the open-top tour bus in front of Corte Ingles, but hold off on that scenic ride until tomorrow after you have seen the heart of town on foot.
RAMBLA: Stroll from Catalunya along the famous Rambla, a broad pedestrian promenade extending from the southwest corner of the square and continuing for ¾ of a mile to the waterfront and column in honor of Columbus. The Rambla is Barcelona at its best, day and night, so plan to come back to this stretch many times during your visit. The Rambla is always busy with people walking past its flower shops, newsstands, bars, cafes and is alive with activity throughout the day and night, making this one of the top venues for strolling in all of Europe.
All but one of the lanes extending from the east side of the Rambla into the Old Town are for pedestrians only, so take the plunge. Rather than walking the full length of the Rambla straight to the waterfront this first time, detour into the Gothic Quarter and explore the gold mine of little lanes. Half the fun of this experience is just wandering and getting a little lost, although it always helps to have a map and general itinerary for guidance. Some of the main sights you want to be sure you cover are outlined here, but the network of walking paths is so continuous and compact you could follow your own instincts and have a good time exploring it. The walking paths are continuous, without dead-ends, and the historic zone is so compact that you cannot get very lost.

BARCELONA TRAVEL VLOG & GUIDE 2019 | FC Barcelona | Cathedral of Barcelona | Epi: 02 | Irem Ozel
Hello Everyone, hope you enjoy my weekly Vlogs.
Inspiring video's about Life style, and Travelling.
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 the Ronda de Sant Pere. It is a part of Ciutat Vella district. The main site around here is the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia also known as Barcelona cathedral was constructed from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries. We roamed around this place from morning till night followed by our dinner at a special Paella place. Paella is s a Valencian rice dish served with seafood, vegetables or chicken options. Many non-Spaniards view paella as Spain's national dish, but most Spaniards consider it to be a regional Valencian dish.
