Activity itinerary

Plaza de Catalunya

El tour comienza en Plaza Catalunya, donde cada niño recibirá su propio mapa y daremos inicio a la aventura en busca de los guardianes secretos de la ciudad.

La Rambla

We will head towards Las Ramblas, where our first stop will be the famous Canaletas Fountain. There, we will discover its history and, of course, drink from its magical water, which—according to tradition—brings good luck to those who taste it!

Fuente de la Maja Madrilena

After a brief stop to taste some magical nougat, we will head to Plaça de la Vila de Madrid, where we will meet the city’s first guardians. There, we will also explore a very special place: the Roman cemetery, where Barcelona’s ancient inhabitants rest.

Col.legi d'Arquitectes de Catalunya

We will leave Plaça de la Vila in search of the giant thermometer located on Portal de l’Àngel. Once we find it, it will show us the way to the College of Architects, where we can admire Picasso’s drawings. There, we will receive our next clue and meet more of the city’s guardians.

Archivo Historico de la Ciudad de Barcelona

El dibujo de Picasso nos indica el camino hacia el casco antiguo de la ciudad. Tras admirar el acueducto romano, nos dirigiremos a la Casa del Archivo de la Ciudad de Barcelona, donde descubriremos dos guardianes más que custodian secretos antiguos de la ciudad.

Plaza de Ramon Berenguer el Gran

With the help of the turtle, we will reach the square where the knight Ramón Berenguer stands. After learning about his history, we will follow the clues indicated by his horse, continuing our quest to find the city’s guardians.

Placa del Rei

After meeting some important characters from Catalan culture, such as the Caganer, we will arrive at Plaça del Rei, in the old city of the Counts of Barcelona.

Barcelona Cathedral

We will continue our journey to Barcelona Cathedral, where we will discover some magical animals hiding in its corners. We will also be able to see stones marked with the claws of a famous dragon, a reminder of the legends that protect the city.

MUHBA - El Call

The route will take us to one of Barcelona’s oldest areas, where we will explore its history and discover ancient manuscripts written on the walls in languages that are hard to understand. Then, we will continue our journey towards Las Ramblas in search of the famous dragon said to dwell there.

La Rambla

We will return to Las Ramblas to search for the famous dragon hiding in the Casa China de los Paraguas. It will show us the way forward, leading us to the mosaic by Joan Miró, one of Catalonia’s most celebrated artists, located on the same Rambla.

Placa Reial

Following the path from Miró’s mosaic, we will walk down Las Ramblas, pass by the Liceu Theatre, and reach Plaça Reial, where we will discover the famous snakes that guard the lampposts designed by Gaudí—another set of guardians protecting the city.

Placa Sant Miquel

We will be able to admire the famous Castellers sculpture, declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO—an example of living heritage that continues to be an integral part of the city’s life.

Placa de Sant Jaume

We will finish the tour in the city’s most important square, where we will meet Catalonia’s most famous and beloved guardian, Sant Jordi. At the end of the experience, each child will receive a small gift—a little lizard to take home as a souvenir. They will also be able to keep their map to colour and continue enjoying the adventure whenever they like.
