El Born is Barcelona at its most charming: medieval alleys, artisan workshops and small boutiques gathered around Santa Maria del Mar, the soaring Gothic basilica built by the city's sailors and merchants.

Your walk ends at the Picasso Museum, set in a row of medieval palaces, where you'll discover how a young Picasso found his voice in Barcelona. With the guide by your side, you'll see his early works in a whole new light.
