What to expect
You'll meet your guide at Boqueria Market and spend the first stretch browsing vendors, tasting their produce and learning which stalls locals actually use. Next is a wine bar where you'll sit and taste a few wines alongside cured meats and cheese. The walk to El Born takes you through less-touristy routes; your guide points out the history embedded in the neighbourhood's narrow lanes. Finally, you'll settle into a proper tapas restaurant for a seated lunch with more wine. It's a steady pace with plenty of stopping and talking—expect conversation over speed.
