The experience
What you'll see and taste
A three-hour food walk that starts at La Boquería Market — Barcelona's famous food market — with a tasting of local cheeses and cured meats and a couple of red wines in a "secret" spot. From there you continue through the old town, stopping at four family-run wine bars in the Gothic Quarter and El Born to taste traditional tapas paired with wine, cava and vermouth, with your guide explaining the origins and traditions of each bite.
How it works
Small group (max 12), departing at 11:00 am from La Boquería (La Rambla 91). Arrive 10 minutes early for check-in and tell your guide about any allergies or dietary needs — vegetarian options can be arranged. The tour ends with recommendations for the rest of your stay.
