The village Barcelona swallowed — squares, indie shops and Gaudí’s early work.

Gràcia was its own town until 1897. We meet at Fontana metro and walk the plaças where neighbours still put out chairs in the evening, pass Casa Vicens (Gaudí’s first house), and finish somewhere with a vermut if you want one. Two hours, mostly flat, good for a slower afternoon when the Old City feels loud.
