What to expect
You'll start in Girona's old town and move at a leisurely pace between three or four food spots, stopping to taste and chat. Your guide picks places where locals actually eat—not tourist traps—and orders for the group. Expect small, quality portions of different dishes and drinks rather than a sit-down meal. Between stops you'll cut through narrow streets and the market itself, learning why certain foods matter to Catalan cooking. The guide speaks from genuine knowledge, not a script.
Good to know
All tastings and water are included. Wear comfortable shoes for cobblestones. The route is flat and manageable for most people. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Tips aren't compulsory but guides appreciate them. Budget extra if you want to buy anything from the market or local shops.
