Casa Batlló, La Pedrera and the Sagrada Família — the city Gaudí bent into shape.

We meet under the arches on Plaça Reial and walk up to the Passeig de Gràcia, taking in Casa Batlló and La Pedrera before heading towards the Sagrada Família. Along the way you get the argument Gaudí was having with his own century, the patrons who bankrolled it, and why Barcelona nearly tore some of it down. Two and a half hours, mostly flat, all outdoors.
