What to expect
You'll walk through narrow streets connecting Barcelona's oldest neighbourhoods, pausing frequently to taste items at market stalls and small shops. The pace is leisurely—this isn't rushed sightseeing. Your guide points out architectural details and explains why certain foods matter to Catalan culture. Expect modest portions across multiple stops rather than full meals. The final stop is a proper tapas bar where you'll sit and eat together. Wear comfortable shoes; you're on your feet the whole time, though the route is mostly flat.
