Ruta de Modernisme
Follow the little red plaques
Barcelona no sooner had its first democratically elected port-war city council in 1979 when it took its Modernista heritage in hand, protecting and restoring its marvels. In 1997 the city set up the Ruta de Modernisme— a suggested tour that takes in 116 Modernista highlights. Most are buildings; some may be lamp posts. While some of these are far afield, the main walk in the Eixample (marked by little red plaques) can be done in a day, including time for visits.
Modernisme Centres sell the €12 guidebook and map pack, which entitle the bearer to up to 50% discount on admissions to Modernista sites. An accompanying adult is eligible for the same discounts for €5, as is one children under 18.

Institut Municipal del Paisatge Urbà, Av. Drassanes 6, 21st Floor. Open Mon-Fri 9am-2pm
