About this tour
Spend three hours eating your way through Barcelona's Born and Barceloneta quarters, sampling over eight regional specialities from tapas and jamón to paella and sangria. Your guide leads you down quieter streets to neighbourhood joints where locals eat, building a picture of Catalan food culture as you taste your way through cured meats, seafood, pastries, cheeses, and a house signature dish kept under wraps until you arrive. You'll leave with a proper understanding of what Barcelona cooks and eats.

What to expect
You'll start in one of Barcelona's oldest quarters and follow your guide to a sequence of small bars and eateries, stopping for 6–8 tastings over the three hours. Each stop features a different dish: cured meats and cheese at one, hot and cold pintxos at another, paella and sangria further on. The pace is leisurely—you're tasting, not rushing. Expect to walk a fair bit between venues, navigating narrow streets and typical Barcelona alleyways. The menu and locations shift seasonally and based on what's available each day, so no two tours are identical.
