Where Barça Was Born: Les Corts Walking Tour + Beer

Begin over a complimentary beer at Bar Mangle, on the exact site where Camp de Les Corts stood (1922-1957). Discover Barcelona's formative years in their original stadium. Continue to Pi de les Corts, the century-old pine tree where thousands of fans met before matches. From 1922 to 1957, "meet me at the pine" was as common as "meet me at Canaletes" is today. Visit Can Fuste, In 1981, this restaurant became police headquarters during striker Quini's shocking 25-day kidnapping. View La Masia's exterior (built 1702), currently under renovation and closed.
