Description

Step into the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and experience the city the way locals do through its rich and varied tapas culture.

Your journey begins in the charming Plaça del Pi, where your expert guide introduces you to the rhythms of local food culture and the role tapas play in everyday life. In between stops, you’ll explore the winding streets of the Gothic Quarter, uncovering layers of history that span from Roman times to the present day.

At your first stop, a lively local tavern, you’ll sample a selection of carefully chosen bites, all paired with a traditional cider.

You’ll continue to visit one of Barcelona’s most iconic and historic restaurants. This legendary establishment has been serving guests for generations, and its story is deeply intertwined with the city’s culinary evolution. You’ll taste the classic tapas, like padron peppers, croquettes, patatas bravas, or a traditional anchovy-based bite, paired with a glass of wine or beer.

Your experience concludes in a historic bodega set in a former glass workshop. This unique space preserves the memory of the original store that once occupied the premises.

Today, it thrives as a neighborhood vermutería. Enjoy a selection of comforting Catalan dishes: a classic Spanish omelette, chorizo cooked in cider, and premium cured beef ham, all paired with vermouth from Reus served the traditional way.

Your tour finishes by the sea, near the iconic Cap de Barcelona sculpture to enjoy the Mediterranean breeze and views of the port.
