What to expect
Your guide meets you in the Gothic Quarter and leads a steady walk through narrow cobbled streets, pausing at three established tapas venues. At each stop, you'll sample plates—expect cured meats, seafood preparations, local cheeses, patatas bravas, or similar fare—matched with wines. Between bars, your guide points out Gothic facades, explains the neighbourhood's medieval roots, and suggests why locals frequent these spots. The pace is relaxed; you're tasting, not rushing. Atmospheric and social rather than formal.
Good to know
