Using multiple predicates at different levels in XPath

I have the following xml file:

<foo class="class1">
 <bar class="title">
  <span> HELLO WORLD </span>
 </bar>
 <bar class="desc">
   <span> I don't want this text </span>
 </bar>
</foo>

I want to isolate HELLO WORLD using the class attributes.

An example of what I have tried (but is not correct) is: //*[@class="class1"]/[@class="title"]

What is the correct way of doing this?

You are missing an asterisk and a span:

//*[@class="class1"]/*[@class="title"]/span

But this would probably suffice:

//*[@class="title"]/span
