Discover Barcelona beyond the typical tourist attractions with a leisurely stroll through the genuine neighbourhood of El Clot. Start your journey at Jaume I, leaving behind the bustling Old Town to uncover where the locals truly reside and congregate.
Pay a visit to Santa Caterina Market and gain insight into overtourism and the significance of supporting less frequented areas. Make a stop at Mescladis, an empowering social enterprise for migrants, and pass by the iconic Arc de Triomf on your way to El Clot. Meander along Carrer de Rogent, a bustling pedestrian street brimming with independent shops, cafés, and the buzz of everyday local life.
Amble through Mercat del Clot, where you can indulge in tastings and engage in friendly banter with vendors, then take in the historic Casas Bajas. Conclude your tour at Parc de les Glòries, a verdant urban hub offering a sneak peek into Barcelona’s future and distinctive views of the Sagrada Familia away from the throngs of tourists.
