Get a taste of local life with our authentic tapas tour.
A great novel way to discover the old Gotic/Bourne quarter of Barcelona is to go on a tapas tour. You will be accompanied by a food and wine expert who will be pointing out throughout the tour little-known cultural and gastronomic landmarks, telling stories and answering queries, enriching and enlivening your experience of this vibrant and flavourful city.
This is a walking tour of the Barcelona's historic old town and is personally designed for your needs depending on the size of the group and time required. The visit includes varied stops where you can sample some iconic Catalan and Spanish foods, as well as fresh fruit, part of the local produce.
The stops could include:
- A chic bodega dedicated to Spanish wines. Sip on a glass of one of the country's new star wines complemented by a noveau tapa.
- An old butter making factory, now the city's only specialist Spanish cheese shop. Try artisanal farmhouse cheeses - some so good you could pay your rent with it.
- A traditional tasca for cider poured from a height and to accompany; flambéed devil's sausage.
- A Galician tapas bar where you can play the pepper lottery and tangle with tentacles.
- An ancient Jewish bathhouse turned into an elegant tearoom where you can sample sacred sweetmeats and feel righteous about dessert.
- A spit-and-sawdust bar for little fried fish and simple salad, was once voted Europe's best bar.
- A pintxo bar where you'll discover the secrets of this snack craze from the Basque country.
- Homemade cava, cured fish and delicious "bocadillos" in a cute Catalan xampanyeria.
