1. The Prelude: Cafè de l’Òpera

Our afternoon begins in 1929. Crossing the threshold of this icon located opposite the Liceu is like immersing oneself in an atmosphere untouched by time. With its fine wood interiors and etched mirrors, this charming café is the ideal spot to feel the pulse of the city. An espresso here is, quite simply, a necessary ritual before starting your walk.

2. Geometry and Details in l’Eixample Dreta

We head up toward Eixample Dreta, the area where Barcelona shows off its best side. Walking here means constantly looking up: wrought-iron balconies, monumental doorways, and that afternoon light that highlights the details of the Modernist facades. If your visit coincides with the Sant Jordi season, don't forget to browse the book and rose stalls that fill the streets—a literary and colorful touch that makes the route even more special.

3. The Necessary Pause: DelaCrem

No afternoon is complete without a treat. We stop at DelaCrem, a temple of artisanal gelato made with local ingredients and impeccable Italian technique. Their pistachio gelato or seasonal sorbets are the ideal accompaniment for continued exploration, always prioritizing quality and authentic flavor.

4. Calm on Passeig de Sant Joan

Gelato in hand, we head to Passeig de Sant Joan, one of the city's most vibrant yet serene avenues. Here, small Sant Jordi stalls also set up, filling the boulevard with books and roses, inviting you to stop, browse, and get carried away by springtime. It is the perfect place to enjoy urban nature as the sun begins to set, surrounded by literature, flowers, and a unique atmosphere.

After the journey, it’s time to settle back down. There is nothing like returning to Hotel Regina Barcelona to unwind. Our final stop is Gina’s, the ideal corner to enjoy a drink or a light snack while reflecting on the best moments of the afternoon.
