Get to know catalans -and spaniards- at places and situations that are off and unknown to the tourist circuit. Discretion recommended.
Beatiful patio just around the corner. Walk up the large staircase and visit one of the most interesting and unknown civil gothic buildings in Europe. The oldest books of Catalonia are kept here. Please be silent and respectul to researchers at work :)
There is also a popular and kiddy library full of multimedia resources and locals seeking for refuge in a rainy -or hot- day.
Es un patio precioso, a la vuelta de la esquina. Subid por la escalinata y visitad uno de los edificios góticos más interesantes de Europa, que aloja los libros más preciados de Catalunya. Por favor sed silenciosos y respetuosos con los investigadores que están trabajando :)
También hay una biblioteca popular y una infantil llena de recursos y vecinos que buscan refugio en días lluviosos o tórridos.

Ok, so you have seen Casa Batlló from the outside and your budget is a little tight, you would like to see the roofs but the ticket is 25€. No worries: walk around the corner and visit this wonderful five storey hardware store. It is an experience in itself and, if you go to the terrace, where the garden furniture is displayed... voilà, you see Gaudí from above. And for free. Enjoy. Don't tell :)

This is my favorite square in the city. A XIX century experiment of the minimum possible public space and a perfectly round "hello neighbor" construction. Stand in the middle of the circle. Look up. Turn around, spin like a record round round. A natural and inexpensive high :)))

You are in love with Barcelona and you just decided you want to live here. Welcome! Well, this is where you do the paperwork. On the outside wall, near the door, there is a round wooden framed hole with a coin slot next to it. Guess what it used to be for. If you do I will cook you dinner to get over the impression :)

Sex workers stroll up and down this dark alley since the beginning of Barcelona times and they protect two of the most authentic little businesses in the city: Bodega d'en Rubén, the best vermouth and ceviche in town, and Bar 23, the best flamenco and jazz shows. For the adventurous souls and at your own risk. I did not tell you :)
