Embark on an unforgettable evening as you uncover the hidden side of Barcelona through its mysteries and legends. This atmospheric night tour begins at the intriguing corner of Fontanella and Estruc streets, where the shadows of history come alive. As you stroll through the lesser-known corners of the city, you’ll hear captivating tales of astrologers and healers who once lived here, including the story of the famed pedra escurçonera—a legendary stone believed to cure ailments and ward off evil. Though just steps from the bustling Plaça de Catalunya, this area holds a deep, mystical essence that harks back to Barcelona’s ancient soul. The journey continues into the heart of the Gothic Quarter, where timeworn alleys conceal the remnants of Roman Barcino. You’ll encounter the ghostly tale of the subterranean river of Santa Eulalia and admire the curious stone turtle on the Archdeacon’s House—one of many symbols that have shaped the city’s folklore.
As the night deepens, so do the secrets. The tour leads you to the majestic Barcelona Cathedral, where you’ll not only admire its Gothic spires but also explore the chilling symbolism of its gargoyles—silent guardians said to protect the city from evil forces. From here, your guide will take you through winding medieval streets to the magical Plaça de l’Àngel, the tour’s final stop, near Jaume I metro station. Throughout this 90-minute journey, led by a passionate local expert, you’ll step far beyond the tourist trail into a world of forgotten stories, ancient beliefs, and urban legends that have left their mark on the stones and souls of Barcelona. Whether you join with friends, a partner, or on your own, this experience offers a unique opportunity to rediscover the city by night—through the lens of mystery, myth, and enchantment.

I recently stayed at Lugaris Beach Apartments and had a wonderful experience. The location was excellent—convenient, safe, and close to everything I needed. The property itself was very clean, well-maintained, and comfortable throughout my stay. The staff were also exceptionally friendly and helpful, always making sure I had everything I needed. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle-free stay.
The location is great, the staff is kind, but the room it wasn’t how we expected. The sheet was dirty, and we found hair on the towels and in the bath hut. The table was also unclean, which raises serious concerns regarding the overall hygiene standards. Furthermore, the main curtain in the children’s room was missing, causing the kids to wake up very early due to the sunlight. The room was noisy — we could clearly hear the neighbors, as well as people passing through the corridor, which made it not possible to rest. The room is clearly in need of renovation, and overall, our stay was a disappointing experience.
My stay at Lugaris Beach apartment was excellent. The comfort and the sea view were outstanding, and its proximity to the metro station made it very convenient. The location is strategic, close to everything you might need, and you don’t even need to rent a car. Lastly, the staff were very kind, cheerful, and helpful.
Really awesome place, my second visit. Love the apartment location, well appointed even if a little tired (but not bad tired) things like TV need updating to allows for streaming services, marks on floor need buffing out of wood and showers need a little attention but I would recommend as the team are great. Just needs a revamp, refresh and reinvigorate. TV’s defo need sorting out, you can’t watch anything when getting ready to go out.
If you are looking for sand, sunshine and a great location, Lugaris is the place. I had a last minute Airbnb disaster; and Lugaris saved the day! Their service and communication was excellent. The location is close to beach restaurants and local shops on the Ramblas. Nice pool but the weather was to chilly to use it, but nice view. Rooms has a 4 star only because I am 6’4 and the couch and bed were a little low for me. Not a big deal.
