Barcelona · iOS
Pick a district, choose what interests you, and start walking. When you reach a stop, the app checks you in and the story opens.
No ads, no subscription. Free quests to begin with — no account needed to start.
Most walking guides hand you a list and leave you to it. This one turns the city into a set of routes with a reason to reach the next corner.
Each quest is a themed walk through one district — Roman ruins, medieval power, the old taverns, the photogenic corners, the night. You walk it in order, and each stop unlocks when you actually get there.
Nothing is invented. Every stop was verified, and a stop earns its place only if it is worth looking at — not merely worth knowing about.
Finish all the stops on a quest and a bonus stop unlocks: the thing most visitors walk past without ever learning it was there.
Step one
Tap a district on the map. Each one has its own character, and the quests inside it complement each other rather than repeat.
Step two
Culture, food and drink, viewpoints, hidden corners, nightlife — whatever you are in the mood for, in the district you are already standing in.
Step three
An in-app compass points to the next stop — its direction and how far, not a line to follow. Which way you get there is yours to choose, and that is the point: pick your own street and you see more of the city than a drawn route would ever show you. Arrive, check in, read the story. Your progress is saved as you go.
Several quests are free, including a full walk through Roman Barcelona, a taste of the old city's taverns, the most photogenic corners of the Gothic Quarter, and a Gaudí walk through the Eixample.
You do not need an account to walk them. Open the app and go.
Beyond that, districts can be unlocked individually, or all at once with a whole-city bundle. These are one-time in-app purchases, not a subscription — you pay once and keep them. No ads, and nothing to pay to remove ads, because there are none in the first place.
Link an email at any point and your progress and purchases follow you to any device.
Being clear about this up front, because it shapes what the app is good for.
We don't narrate the full history of every building. Each stop tells you enough to understand why you are standing in front of it, and stops there.
If something catches your interest, that is the point — the rest of what is known about it is a search away, and you'll find it better than we could compress it. What the app is for is knowing where to go and why it's worth the walk.
No venue paid to be included and none can. There is no advertising, no affiliate link, no referral fee and no commercial relationship with anywhere described. Inclusion is an editorial choice and nothing else.
You decide where and when to walk. The app doesn't assess whether a street, a route or a time of day is right for you — watch the city, not the phone.
The full content — every quest, every stop, every bonus — is available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Polish and Russian. Not machine output: translated with the same care as the English, with Catalan place names kept as they are.
No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. Your location is used on your device to check you in at a stop and is never stored or sent anywhere. The only thing kept about you is the list of stops you have visited. You can delete all of it from inside the app.
Something not working, a stop that has closed, a fact that looks wrong, or a translation that reads oddly? Write and it gets fixed — the content is maintained, not frozen.
