This tour starts next to well-known highlights like the Silk Exchange (La Lonja) and the Central Market and takes you to the former district of weavers and merchants. Your English-speaking guide will lead you through the alleys of El Carme — a lively neighborhood where many locals live, cozy cafés are tucked away, and you’ll find museums not listed in every travel guide. Did you know that the European Museum of the Year 2023 is located here? Do you know which one it is?

During this English-language city walk, you’ll suddenly find yourself face to face with the former Arab city walls, and just around the corner, you’ll discover a huge street art mural — El Carme never ceases to surprise!

In the evenings, the neighborhood comes alive with countless bars and cozy terraces. During the day, you can enjoy the peace and shade in the narrow alleys. You’ll stroll past old monasteries, artisanal bakeries, a hidden community garden, and even a small local market hall. You’ll also find several air-raid shelters from the Spanish Civil War, as well as unique shops offering local crafts and regional products.

Street art is everywhere in El Carme — sometimes large, bright, and colorful, sometimes small, hidden, and almost invisible. Your guide is happy to tell you all about it! During the tour, you’ll not only hear fascinating background stories and anecdotes about life within the old city walls but also get local insider tips on bars, museums, and secret spots.
