There are unknown places in Barcelona that very few people know and especially tourists. These secret places in Barcelona are worth a visit.

Museum of Illusions:

The Illusions Museum is Barcelona’s most original museum. You will find thematic rooms, 3D installations or labyrinths. You will find yourself immersed in the ball pool or walking backwards in a house. This is a museum you are going to love! Enter a world full of imagination, where you will spend a pleasant moment with friends or family. You become protagonists of the works present in the museum. It is a place that will make young and old people dream.

The Tamarita Gardens:

The Tamarita Gardens are one of unknown places in Barcelona. As you walk through the garden gates, you enter another era in Barcelona where the bourgeoisie was building its residences surrounded by gardens in the upper part of the city. Its gardens are an ideal place to rest and be quiet away from the noise of the city. You can walk in the garden and take advantage of this moment to discover the magnificent fountains and statues of two different atmospheres: romantic and classic. There are also ping-pong tables and a playground for children to satisfy families.

Anti-aircraft shelters

Other unknown places in Barcelona: the air raid shelters. Barcelona was one of the first cities to be bombed during the civil war, and the Generalitat de Catalunya assigned Ramon Perera, a 31-year-old engineer, to design a system that would allow the population to protect themselves from air strikes. You will find them all over Barcelona but the most famous is located in Plaça del Diamant. The detail and conservation level of this refuge is so impressive that you can see the marks left on the walls by the candles that lit up the refuge when people were sheltering there. Many of these bunkers were accessible through the tunnels in the middle of the street. However, there were also a few privileged people who had access from their homes. La Pedrera has one.

Plaza de San Felipe Neri:

A bit of history! Plaza de San Felipe Neri is a unique square in Barcelona and you will discover this secret place in Barcelona. It is located in the Gothic part of the city. You will notice holes on the front of the church. Wondering why the walls have not been restored? These brands refer to a dark era in Barcelona and in Spain. We have to go back to 1938, to the last moments of the civil war. These holes are due to a bombardment caused by the rebels during the civil war. It was on January 30, 1938 that the bombing took place, killing 42 people, most of them were children who had taken refuge in the basement of the church. The facade was rebuilt using elements from the old buildings.

You know what you have to do now! Rent one of our villas in Sitges and discover the secrets of Barcelona.

The Park Güell of Barcelona: an amazing artistic work.

One of the most emblematic areas of Barcelona is the Park Güell. The work of the great Antonio Gaudí is a must see for the tourists of the city seduced by the aesthetics and modernist spirit that permeates other works of this architect, as popular as the Sagrada Familia or La Pedrera.

The history

The Park Güell was inaugurated in 1922, after the wealthy businessman Eusebi Güell commissioned a luxury residential complex from Gaudí. The passage of time and various economic problems caused the initial project to be set aside and become the park we all know today.

Since 1984, the Park Güell is a World Heritage Site thanks to the declaration of UNESCO.

More than a park

The Park Güell is not only a garden. Its combination of architectural elements, nature, mosaics and unique shapes make it a story-telling scenario that surprises its visitors with its magical atmosphere.

The large size of the park, over 17 hectares, offers places of great beauty and relaxation in which to be lost for hours. Gaudí created unique environments full of imagination, in which the columns are transformed into trees and animals. Geometric shapes and colored ceramic mosaics are the protagonists of most spaces.

Gaudí is the representative of the genuine Catalan Modernism, which is reflected in the Park Güell. The combination of colors, shapes and ornaments present throughout the venue breaks with all the most classic schemes and offers symbolic meanings of high level.

The square of the Nature

The center of the park – and undoubtedly one of its most photographed places – is the “Plaza de la Naturaleza”. Surrounded by a huge bank of more than 100 meters in length and snake-shaped decorated with omnipresent colorful mosaics, it also offers breathtaking views of the city, thanks to its privileged location.

Fairy tale entrance

The main entrance to the park is located on Calle Olot, and shows you a fairytale scenario as soon as you enter through the door.

Two small houses with dreamlike architectural elements and the large ceramic dragon that presides over the main stairs giving access to the upper part of the enclosure. The plants and flowers on both sides frame it, giving the touch of color necessary for an idyllic setting.

The top part

The park is located in the highest area of Barcelona and has a 60 meter slope, which the architect used to pose as a symbolic path of spiritual elevation. Although at first thought of putting in the top a chapel, finally was placed a Monument to the Calvary in form of three crosses that crowns the most unknown part of the enclosure for many tourists. Going up there implies a walk between an area full of nature and beauty.

A final tip? If you get to the highest point of the mountain, take advantage to enjoy the extraordinary views over the city. A truly privileged setting!

Now that you know all this, you only need to rent one of our luxury villas in Sitges 30 minutes from Barcelona, and visit this incredible, unique and beautiful architectural park.
