Barcelona to offer guided tours around traditional shops

Barcelona will offer several guided tours around traditional shops still standing in Esquerra de l'Eixample and Rambla de Catalunya boulevard.

The city council has planned two different routes, one walking in front of historical establishments in La Rambla boulevard, such as the La Sibèria fur business, Santiago Bolívar Bronzes hardware, Colmado Quílez grocery store, Mauri bakery, and pharmacies Sanchís, Catalunya, and Bolós.

The second route will focus on historical stores still standing in the l'Esquerra de l'Eixample neighborhood, such as Balmes bakery, Espuñes Light Store, Mantequeria Lasierra, Pintures Jordi, and pharmacies Serralta and Antonio Torres.

During October and November, there will be 12 routes in total, with a capacity of around 20 people per tour.

Attendees will learn about traditional, unique, and special establishments with significant historic and heritage value. These are some of the many different traditional stores still standing in Barcelona's city center.

Free tours will take place on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings and will last around 1:30h. There will be two tours with sign language, and those interested must register on the District de l'Eixample website.
