Rather than a standard lecture, the tour prompts children to spot dragon imagery on building facades, sculptures, and street details while adults fill in historical context. The guide stops periodically to explain why this mythical creature became woven into Barcelona's cultural fabric, linking it to both medieval legend and modern city identity.
