Step by Step

The visit begins at the interpretation centre, where the social, industrial and artistic context of the Colonia Güell is presented. Through models, panels and interactive material, you will learn how this enclave was conceived as a model community for workers in the textile industry. With the map in hand and the audio guide, you'll wander through its quiet streets, discovering Art Nouveau homes, public spaces and an atmosphere that preserves the spirit of the period.

When you reach the Crypt, you'll find yourself surrounded by bold, organic architecture. Gaudí experimented here with elements such as inclined columns, parabolic arches and natural materials, all in harmony with the surroundings. This unfinished church is considered a laboratory for ideas that he would later apply to the Sagrada Familia.

Every detail - from the shapes of the windows to the arrangement of the pews and the mosaics on the floor - reflects the architect's genius. With the audio guide, you will understand the religious and naturalistic symbolism that permeates the place, making your visit much more profound than a simple observation.

In addition to the crypt, you will have time to explore the gardens, the streets of the colony and enjoy the peaceful surroundings in contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. It's a perfect half-day getaway that combines art, history and nature.
