What to expect
Your guide will lead you on foot through Gothic Quarter streets, pausing at four different tapas establishments. At each stop, you'll taste carefully selected dishes—typical Barcelona fare—whilst your guide explains the history, ingredients, and techniques behind each plate. Drinks are included in set amounts. The pace is unhurried; this is as much about talking with a knowledgeable local and other travellers as it is about eating. By tour's end, the accumulated plates add up to a proper meal. Expect to walk at a moderate pace and stand for periods whilst eating and chatting.
