Overview

The guidebooks won't tell you this version of Barcelona. After dark, the Gothic Quarter and El Born shed their postcard charm and reveal something sinister: a city built on centuries of bloodshed, betrayal, and things that go bump in the night. Follow a local expert through streets where serial killers once stalked, alchemists brewed deadly potions, and the screams of the condemned still seem to hang in the air. You'll stand before a cursed opera house, peer into a square scarred by Franco's bombs, and learn why one bride's wedding night became the stuff of legend...and nightmares. From the Jewish quarter's poisonous love story to the Inquisition's killing ground beneath your feet, every cobblestone here has a secret and you'll be able to follow the paranormal route with an interactive Ghost Hunter Guide, equipped with stunning visuals of the real and imagined. At the end of the tour you'll even receive a Certificate of Survival, if you survive, that is.
