Stone, saffron light and the first exhale.
A cinematic opening: Gothic stone, Catalan confidence, late lunches, and evenings that unfold slowly.
A slow first walk through the Gothic Quarter

Browse the Sunday collectors market at Sant Antoni.
Walk the arcades around Plaça Reial before a Jamboree set.
Take a quiet loop through Gràcia’s smaller plazas.
