Il existe des quartiers qui parfois nous dépaysent totalement. C’est le cas d’El Born, situé au cœur de Barcelone, construit au XIIIe siècle, et qui constitue comme un petit village au sein de la ville. Le quartier a réussi à se moderniser tout en sauvegardant son cachet d’origine. Mélange déconcertant que l’on retrouve jusque dans ses ruelles où les boutiques enfilent articles de créateurs de mode et échoppes artisanales d’antan. Doté d’une architecture caractéristique avec de jolies rues rapprochées qui datent des temps anciens, El Born est l’un des endroits les plus surprenants de Barcelone.
C’est aussi un éminent lieu de restauration. Vous y découvrirez arômes, couleurs et saveurs en dégustant des tapas traditionnels que nous avons spécialement sélectionnés pour vous. El Born est enfin un quartier où d’imposants édifices – comme le Palais de la Musique de 2.200 places, conçu par Lluis Domènech i Montaner, et seul théâtre en Europe à être complètement éclairé par la lumière naturelle – côtoient les anciens – comme Santa Maria del Mar, église du XIVe siècle, architecturée en style gothique catalan par Berenguer de Montagut. Elle fut ainsi baptisée parce que la mer, à l’époque, baignait les pieds de la basilique. Après la visite de l’église, nous ferons le tour du Passeig del Born qui, selon les catalans, est le cœur et l’esprit du quartier.

Review of: Via Ferrata Climbing Experience "This was very fun. The route was both fun and exciting. We had a great guide who helped us along. Higly recomended"
My tour guide was Jordana. Others were scheduled for the tour but canceled.

In particular, touring the outside of Sagrada Familia, Jord ...

This experience was incredibly informative and really enjoyable! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing a new side of Barcelona which is shrouded in incredible architecture. Our host was incredibly knowledgeable about the modern district of Barcelona and her passion was infectious. Thanks for having me :)
This was a fantastic tour that I highly recommend. I learnt a lot about the modernist buildings in Barcelona and got to see some fantastic architecture.

I had booked several different things to do while in Barcelona and loved each one. I started out with the Secrets of Barcelona tour. Jordana was my guide and I was lucky enough to be the only one that time and day so I had a private tour. She was very knowledgable about all the places we saw and I d ...
My friend and I were in Barcelona for a weekend only and wanted to capsulate a tour of the main sites.

Our tour guide asked us what we were particularly inte ...

The guides were knowledgeable and had answers to all our questions. A great value for money! I would highly recommend anyone who vi ...
The tour was fun and educational. It provided a different perspective of the city while enjoying beautiful views. The hike was not too difficult/challenging. Great value for money!! I highly recommend this Collserola Hiking Tour with the Barcelonian. Very professional as well.
Today our guide Jordana walked us through the Old city of Barcelona and made us discover facts and secrets we would never even think about. Ive been on other tours before, but never have I witnessed so many quirky and interesting hidden secrets in such a short amount of time. I especially liked the ...

We had limited time for our staying and these guys helped us “feeling” Barcelona! So a big thank you for allowing us to experience the authenticity of the city. Additionally I would say that the tour (born tour) was super well organised and not expensive.
I had a really great time doing the Collserola hiking tour with The Barcelonian. It shows that they go out of their way to give you a different experience from the rest of the tours in Barcelona. I have enjoyed the hike as well as beautiful views of the city from the route , ending the tour with a s ...

Qui?
Il est vrai qu’El Born est renommé pour la qualité de sa restauration ainsi que pour sa vie nocturne qui en a surpris plus d’un au matin d’une nuit blanche. Mais ce n’est pas uniquement le quartier des veillées prolongées et de la bonne chère, c’est aussi un espace hautement culturel. Protéiforme, El Born s’accorde à tous les goûts et convient à tous types de visiteurs.
Quoi?
Le repas gastronomique programmé par The Barcelonian à El Born vous fournira l’occasion de savourer, aux quatre coins du quartier, différentes spécialités régionales: les pintxos du Pays Basque, aussi bien que les tapas classiques de Catalogne et d’Andalousie.
Où?
El Born se déploie juste derrière le quartier de la plage de Barcelone, autour du passage du Born, de son marché et de la basilique Sainte Marie de la Mer. Il est campé entre la Via Laietana et Barceloneta, et est desservi par les stations de métro Barceloneta et Jaume 1, placées sur la même ligne. Las Ramblas et le centre de la ville sont à 10 minutes de marche seulement. El Born borde également le parc le plus vaste et le plus animé de Barcelone, la Ciutadella.
Chez The Barcelonian, nous croyons au tourisme durable et à l’authenticité. C’est la raison pour laquelle nous favorisons les groupes réduits comportant au maximum 20 personnes pour nos tours à El Born. Nous proposons ce circuit une fois par semaine, les mercredis à 10h.
Warum?
Avec ses ruelles exiguës au cachet si particulier, ses places pittoresques bondées de cafés et de bars, ce coin ravissant de Barcelone n’a rien à envier au charme du Barri Gòtic. Cependant, El Born jouit d’un emplacement assez en retrait pour être plus au calme et préserver son attrait désuet. Aussi a-t-il pu maintenir une part importante de vie locale malgré l’engouement touristique qu’il suscite. L’affluence de visiteurs s’explique par le fait que, dans la seule Calle Montcada, l’une de ses ruelles médiévales, on peut se déplacer du Musée Picasso, vers le Musée d’Art Précolombien, vers le Musée du Textile et du Costume sis à El Born parce que la Congrégation des métiers du textile de Barcelone y avait élu domicile à l’époque moyenâgeuse. Le quartier séduit aussi les vacanciers en raison de sa proximité avec le rivage auquel on peut accéder en une dizaine de minutes de marche, et du voisinage du Parc Ciutadella où l’on peut se prélasser en regardant les hippies jouer du bongo.
