Behind the veil of opulence, Barcelona conceals its contrasts. This route delves into the city's most affluent districts to uncover the cracks, vulnerabilities, and untold stories hidden behind pristine facades. A raw look at the B-side of urban privilege.

The Planns tip

Walk down from Plaça de Lesseps along the narrow sidewalks of El Farró; the silence of the area at midnight emphasizes the human scale of the towers.

THE VENUE

Starting from Carrer Saragossa 1, embark on a journey through El Farró's backbone – a neighborhood balancing artisan sobriety with residential echoes. Centuries-old facades along this street showcase discreet architecture, enriched by floral motifs or wrought-iron railings that define the area's identity. Once a main thoroughfare and commercial hub, this axis connects a network of streets where neighborhood life still thrives. Further down, at number 29, Vil·la Urania stands – a cultural space rooted in scientific outreach, a testament to its diverse historical layers.
