This walk is for travelers interested in seeing a quieter side of Barcelona most visitors don't experience: the outlying district of Horta-Guinardó. Ideal for history and architecture enthusiasts, you'll cover about 4.4 miles (7 km) in 4-5 hours on foot and have the flexibility to stop for as little or as long as you like at any waypoint. Given Horta-Guinardó's history and location at the base of the Collserola mountain range, there are steps and sloped terrain to contend with (though most of the route avoids the worst of it).

You'll start in one of Europe's most historic gardens before traipsing south through centuries-old neighborhoods, ending at a prominent jewel of Catalan modernista architecture.

Throughout, you'll stop to order authentic Spanish cuisine at two neighborhood haunts.
