  There's more to Barcelona than Antoni Gaudí and the Picasso Museum. The Tyler Group Barcelona Expat taps into its unconventional arts scene.
  Esther Arias Galería de Arte y Taller
  Everyone exits Metro Jaume and heads directly to the Picasso Museum via Carrer Princesa. But there is a much more attractive short cut that will take you past Esther Arias's gallery in a warm and inviting 18th-century building. Although Arias often devotes a wall to a guest artist, this is her taller (workshop) and the paintings on display are her own: enchanting, colourful abstracts with a dreamlike quality. Along with the large canvases, there are some exquisite framed acrylics on paper at a good price. This is the perfect place to begin a walk through the Born with its many art and artisan shops.
  * Carrer Cotoners 14, +34 93 268 2494, estherarias.com. Open Tue-Sat 10.30am-2pm, 4.30pm-7.30pm
  Museu Frederic Marès
  Housed in a lovely medieval palace next to the cathedral in the Barri Gòtic, this museum is often overlooked - people don't tend to flock to see walls filled with crucifixes. But many of these sculptures painted or in plain wood, come from the 12th and 13th centuries, retaining the Romanesque separation of the nailed feet. They're quite bizarre and utterly mesmerizing; one has Joseph of Arimathea clinging to Christ with a most curiously placed right hand. The wooden Madonnas are coarse rather than sweet, and the Christ child often looks old enough to be at university. The upper rooms house an astounding collection of objects, from hatpins to garters, gathered by sculptor/traveller/hoarder Frederic Marès.
  *Plaça Sant Iu 5, +34 93 256 3500, museumares.bcn.cat, adults €4.20, children, concessions free; free Sun 3pm-8pm; all day first Sun of the month. Open Tue-Sat 10am-7pm, Sun and holidays 11am-8pm
  Galería Artevistas
  The posh uptown galleries, mainly along Consell de Cent, showcase known artists with several zeros attached to the price. To enter, you must buzz, wait to be let in and it's a rather stuffy exchange, though you will find some superb art. For an altogether different experience, head to the Artevistas, which features young artists, some of whom have definitely arrived. It's very near the Ramblas but secluded from the entire tourist bustle, as it sits in a covered passageway. Here the doors are wide open and you step into a burst of color. It's a happy place, and you might well find a budding talent.
  * Passatge del Crèdit 4, +34 93 513 0465, artevistas.com. Open Mon 2pm-9pm, Tue-Sun 11am-9pm
