## Overview

Barcelona may be beautiful by day, but when the sun goes down, something sinister lurks in the shadows. Are you brave enough to uncover it?

Join a group of fellow ghost enthusiasts and a local guide on a haunted night walk through Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and El Born. You’ll visit tragic sites plagued by bombings, burnings, executions, and murder as your guide shares terrifying true tales and local legends. With a digital Ghost Hunter Pack, you'll be able to follow the paranormal route from your phone, and see stunning visuals of real and imagined horrors.

From the cursed Liceu Opera House to the infamous Exorcist’s House in El Born, each step pulls you deeper into Barcelona’s paranormal past. Hear about serial killers, deadly pacts, poisonous alchemists, and a bride whose scream still echoes across the neighbourhood.
When the tour’s over, the stories are sure to resurface in your dreams, or even nightmares. Book now, if you dare!

## Itinerary

Nearby, in the gritty streets of Raval, you’ll hear about Barcelona’s most infamous serial killer.
2. **La Rambla** (9m) - Raval was never a glamorous neighbourhood, but the pickpockets of today have got nothing on Barcelona’s most infamous serial killer.
3. **Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi** (9m) - Stare at this Gothic Basilica and uncover the story of one fateful pact that met a terrible end. In the nearby streets of El Call, discover a legend of love, lies, and poison at the Alchemist’s House.
4. **In the heart of the Jewish quarter sits an unassuming house that is home to a...** (9m) - In the heart of the Jewish quarter sits an unassuming house that is home to a legend of love, lies, and poison.
5. **Pont del Bisbe** (9m) - Barcelona’s most iconic bridge holds a sinister secret. Whatever you do, don’t look up.
6. **In this narrow corner of the Gothic Quarter, you’ll learn about Barcelona’s p...** (9m) - In this narrow corner of the Gothic Quarter, you’ll learn about Barcelona’s patron saint and how she met a brutal end after enduring torture.
7. **Placa Sant Felip Neri** (9m) - Step into this humble square and stare at the scarred facade of the church as you hear about the horrors of the Franco Regime and Spanish Civil War. The whispers of spirits may still cling to these walls.
8. **Behind the Cathedral, stone creatures carved to ward off evil spirits aren’t ...** (9m) - Behind the Cathedral, stone creatures carved to ward off evil spirits aren’t all what they seem. At King’s Square, a former Inquisition execution site, the horrors beneath your feet tell a chilling story.
9. **Placa Del Rei** (9m) - This gorgeous palace is a popular spot for photo ops but once you learn about the bloody executions that took place here during the Spanish Inquisition, you might think twice before grabbing the camera.
10. **When you see the faces, you might be closer to fun than you realise** (9m)
11. **Carrer de Montcada** (9m) - The tour continues through El Born, past a poet’s apartment where paranormal rituals took place, and to the Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, where a bride’s scream still echoes. The grand finale awaits at Passeig del Born.
12. **Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar** (9m) - This stunning basilica is the site of many weddings, and here you’ll learn why they say, “Till death do us part.”
13. **Passeig del Born** (9m) - Just 10 minutes up the road, a hotel manager was hungry for more than just money…
