Getting started
Meet your expert English-speaking guide at the designated starting point in Barcelona's Old Town. After a brief introduction to the route and group, you set off on a walking route through El Born and Barceloneta. The tour follows a paced walk across 4 stops, so bring comfortable shoes and be ready to move between locations on foot.
What to expect
El Born
El Born’s food scene is best experienced at street level, from old bakeries that preserve Catalan traditions to market counters piled with local produce and cured meats. Here, Barcelona’s everyday food culture comes with a side of history.
Features
-
A Catalan classic: Begin at one of Barcelona’s oldest bakeries, founded in 1849, and try a traditional Catalan pastry. It’s a taste of the region’s baking traditions before the tour moves on to savoury specialities.
-
The art of Spanish curing: At a local city market, get acquainted with Spanish cheeses, Iberian ham and cured sausages. Your guide will share insights into these regional favourites and the ingredients that give them their distinctive character.
-
Tapas at a family-run restaurant: Pull up at a busy, family-run restaurant for a taste of tapas. Learn how to order and eat these small plates as you go, with the lively atmosphere offering a glimpse of how Barcelona does casual dining.
Barceloneta
Barcelona’s relationship with the Mediterranean naturally finds its way onto the plate. In Barceloneta, the coastal setting makes a fitting backdrop for one of Spain’s best-known rice dishes, enjoyed at a picturesque spot near the sea.
Features
- Paella with a seaside setting: Make your way towards the Mediterranean for a serving of paella and a glass of sangria. After the market counters and tapas bars, this stop brings a different setting, with the sea adding to the experience.
Wrapping up
Just when you think you know what’s on the menu, there’s one more tasting: the tour’s "Secret Dish", kept under wraps until you try it. Sangria, water, and non-alcoholic beverages are included, so there’s plenty to sip between bites. If you want additional drinks beyond the included ones, an upgraded drinks package with 2 drinks or other extra drinks can be purchased during the experience.
