About this activity

Barcelona, dusk. You are T. F. Specter, a writer of ghost stories haunted by writer's block. Someone whispered about a hidden ghost trail in the Gothic Quarter, where ancient spirits still wander. If you survive, you will write the best book of your life.

This self-guided ghost quest takes you on a 50-minute walk through the shadowy heart of Barcelona. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you follow the trail at 10 stops through the Gothic Quarter: from the Roman tombs of Via Sepulcral Romana and the cursed bell tower of Santa Maria del Pi to the haunted fountain on La Rambla, and the legendary skull beneath the Pont del Bisbe.

Solve eerie puzzles and uncover the dark legends hiding in plain sight.

Best after dark, when the Gothic Quarter reveals its true character. Explore 3 kilometres of Barcelona's most atmospheric streets at your own pace. Do not enter the venues.

Perfect for thrill-seekers and history lovers. No prior knowledge of Barcelona required.
