Summary

Greet your ghoulish guide at the ancient Arc de Triomf structure and begin your journey under the cover of darkness.

Visit paranormal places featured in Sylvia Lagarda-Mata’s book detailing supernatural sightings in Barcelona; hear hair-raising stories of the specters said to roam the streets; and gain insight into local legends sure to make to your spine tingle. Meander through Barcelona’s backstreets and immerse yourself in stories of bewitched convents, eerie apparitions and brutal exorcisms as you explore neighborhoods like Sant Pere and Santa Catarina. See the sinister side of some of Barcelona’s legendary landmarks as your guide affords you a glimpse into the gruesome history of the Church of Santa Maria, a building whose picturesque façade does not reflect the scary secrets it harbors. Conclude your terrifying tour at the square of Santa Maria del Mar.
