The best free &
paid walking tours

Hola friends! Grab a cozy light sweater and your favorite pair of walking shoes, because October in Barcelona is officially here, and it is absolutely gorgeous. The sticky summer heat has finally mellowed out, leaving us with those crisp, sunny autumn days that just beg you to spend all your time outside.

October serves as the perfect summary of the vibrant season ahead, beginning with the start of the academic year and a traditional parade where university professors wear original clothing from their historical periods. The month features a fantastic lineup that includes live music concerts, a special film screening, a fascinating new art exhibition. And let’s not forget something for sport – the Cracovia Royal Half-Marathon is coming up.

When the first passengers descended into the Madrid metro in 1919, they were moving through spaces designed by Antonio Palacios. From these subterranean tunnels to the monumental white facade of the Cibeles Palace, the Galician architect tackled everything from utilitarian infrastructure to grand civic headquarters.
