What to expect
Your guide will lead you through narrow Gothic streets, stopping to share the neighbourhood's history as you walk. You'll visit three different bars and eateries, each time ordering a selection of small plates and local wines. The pace is leisurely—you're eating and talking as much as walking. Expect to taste jamón, local cheeses, seafood preparations and other Catalan specialities that reflect what people actually eat here, not what's marketed to tourists. If you add the flamenco show at the end, you'll watch live performers in an intimate space, though this requires a separate €30 payment on the night.
Good to know
The tour doesn't include hotel transfers, but public transport is nearby. Bring comfortable shoes for cobblestone streets. The flamenco ticket (€30) is optional and paid directly; book early if interested, especially in peak season.
