What to expect
You'll meet your group in Old Barcelona and spend the morning on foot, moving between landmark bakeries that have operated for generations. Each stop includes tasting a different pastry style—expect classics like xuixos, coca de recapte, or ensaimada depending on the day. Breakfast happens at one of the stops with cured meats and cheese. Your guide talks through the techniques and history as you eat, pointing out architectural details and neighbourhood quirks along the way. The pace is leisurely; this isn't rushed sampling but proper time to sit with what you're tasting.
Good to know
Tours run in French only. No indoor museum visits, though you'll step inside the bakeries themselves. Flat, easy walking on Old Town streets. Service animals welcome. Public transport is near the meeting point if you need it.
