About event
Discover the fascinating city of Badalona with a very complete panoramic tour
"*** How beautiful is Badalona, in winter and in summer ***," said the lyrics of the popular song by Manolo Escobar parodied by Joan Manuel Serrat. And is that Badalona, the fourth city of Catalonia, is a lot of Badalona. To its ** rich historical heritage ** (it was founded by the Romans almost two thousand years ago), ** Cultural ** and ** Human ** (It has always been a city of alluvion), we must add a ** privileged situation between the sea and the mountain **, with almost 5 kilometers of ** beaches ** in the east and the Marina Sierra in the west.
Walking through its old town, known as ** Dalt de la Vila ** (for being in the upper area of the population), we discover architectural jewels such as the ** Romanesque Church of Santa Maria **, the ** Torre Vella ** or the ** Casa Jaume Botey **, as well as streets of the medieval and gothic style as the street of the coast, which make our way to the maritime facade. This, known as ** Baix a Mar ** (for being in the low zone, the sea), is one of the best stored treasures of this population that houses the ** Pont del Petroli ** (‘Petroleum Bridge’) and the factory of ** Anise of the Monkey **. We will also walk and discover the secrets of the ** beautiful park of Can Solei and Ca l'Arnús **.
** The Plan: **
** \- 10h: ** We remain at the exit of the Pompeu Fabra Metro stop (L2)
** \- 10 \ -12 \ .30h: ** Tour "Badalona, a sea and mountain city"
At the end of the Tour we have the ** option to go to take something on a terrace of the Paseo Marítimo **.
