How Free Walks In Barcelona Work
Barcelona gives a lot away: the Barri Gòtic and El Born streets are free public space, the markets cost nothing to walk through, and the Magic Fountain shows are free to watch from the plaza. This guide also covers the 46 free walking tours on GuruWalk, every one pay what you want and led by an independent local guide from a named meeting point such as Plaça de Catalunya or Plaça Nova.
