Gaudi Lesser-Known Art: Colonia Guell, Casa Vicens & Bellesguard

About this experience

We invite you to discover, on this curious tour, the most unknown, but no less beautiful, works of the incredible architect Gaudí. These are surprising buildings, not so popular but very important, to be admired away from the tourist horde.
Discover the unknown architectural side of the great Antonio Gaudí. On this private tour your Gaudí specialist guide will take you, during 6 hours, to visit the most unknown and secret buildings of the architect. You will visit the Colonia Güell and its crypt (a 19th century factory complex for workers and its important crypt, whose design was used as an experiment to build the Sagrada Familia), where you will have tapas for lunch in a traditional restaurant. Visit the Bellesguard Towers, fascinating neo-Gothic forms mixed with Gaudí's characteristic Catalan modernism. Last stop: the unknown Casa Vicens, the first house designed by Gaudí.
