Morning light picks out the sinuous curves of stone along Passeig de Gràcia as the guide gathers the group — three hours of city, façade and story lie ahead. You move from street level to the rooftops of imagination, eyes tracing the bone-like balconies of Casa Batlló and the undulating stone of La Pedrera, then onward toward the towering spires of the Sagrada Família where colored glass and carved scripture alter the room of the sky.
