_What is a r c h i t o u r ?
It is an enterprise that organizes architectural walking routes in the city. It is not tourism but architecture.
Its interest is focused in unique buildings, those that create an architectural tradition -thought in an historical key-, but also in the streets, squares and quarters as part of a bigger and more complex structure with singular characteristics.
Architecture invariably dialogues with the city and culture; buildings are not autonomous pieces but take part in interconnected relationships. The city and its buildings are conceived basically as a public space.
Architour offers architectural tours with a teaching criteria for little groups (10 people at most)
All our tours are led by architects:
We are now offering many tours in Barcelona and one in Vic.
We also offer open tours for personal requirements.
Please send us an e-mail to define which route(s) you are interested in and when you expect to take it, so that we could organize the timetable and the group and give you an answer with the whole proposal. It is important to consider that the tours are limited to ten people in order to offer you a personal treatment.
