About this tour

Visit five independent bars and taverns serving proper Catalan fare—botifarra, bomba, crema catalana, croquetas—paired with a glass of vermut.

What to expect
Your guide meets you in Gràcia and sets the pace immediately—this isn't a race. You'll dip into five different spots, each a genuine neighbourhood haunt where you eat what locals eat. Expect standing-room bar culture, generous plates to share, and honest food without theatre. Between stops you'll walk through quieter squares and notice the detail of how people actually live here. The vermut comes early, food comes in clusters rather than courses, and conversation with your guide and group members often overshadows any formal commentary.
Good to know
Arrive hungry—portions add up across five stops. Wear comfortable walking shoes for uneven pavements. Some bars can be cramped; let your guide know if you need extra space. Most venues are casual; no dress code. Public transport nearby if you need to leave early.
