"The Jewish legacy of Barcelona"

This is an itinerary thought for families, young or elders who wish to enjoy walking through the old city, the area known at present as Barri Gòtic.

Our ancestors had wanted to ornate their houses with all kind of animals (monkeys, elephants, unicorns, turtles,....) and some of them have been carved in the most striking places.

This is the theme and the story around which we will organise our stroll. The itinerary will be done on foot and we will end near Carrer Petrixol, one of the most typical streets of the Old City. There, you will find many "Granges", Catalunya's version of tearooms. Anybody feeling like it will enjoy tasting a hot chocolate in any of these.

Here are some of the highlights of the itinerary: Plaça de la Catedral; Pati de la Casa del Ardiaca; Claustre de la Catedral; Temple Romà d'August; Plaça del Rei; Plaça Sant Jaume; Plaça del Pi y Carrer Petritxol.
