When it rains in Barcelona, the old city shrinks: the three places in this plan are less than ten minutes' walk from each other, along narrow streets where you hardly need an umbrella.

## Morning, midday and afternoon

10:30 · Palau de la Música Catalana. The guided visit lasts 50 minutes and goes through the concert hall, the staircase, the foyer and the Lluís Millet hall. It costs €24, with a reduced price for under-35s and over-65s, and is free for under-10s with a family member. There is no cloakroom: leave the big umbrella at home. On rehearsal days the route may change.

12:15 · Bar del Pla. Going down Sant Pere Més Alt and Carrer de Montcada you reach the Born in eight minutes. Tapas to share at a bar that opens at midday.

15:00 · Museu de la Xocolata. On Carrer del Comerç. The bar and rocks workshop lasts an hour and a half: you fill a piping bag with 62% chocolate, fill the mould and take what you make home in a bag. It includes entry to the museum, which you can see before or after. It is for over-16s.

## If the day runs on

Vila Viniteca, five minutes away, organises wine and cheese tastings from 20:00 to 22:00 on odd dates. Check its calendar: if it coincides, the day ends seated with a glass in hand.

## Cómo llegar

### Without a car
All on foot. You arrive by metro at Urquinaona (L1 and L4) and leave from Jaume I or Arc de Triomf.

## Consejos

### Choose an early slot at the Palau
The visits run from 9:00 to 15:30; the first one leaves the morning free.

### Eat lightly
At three in the afternoon you will have chocolate in your hands.
