Description

Good to Know

This Barcelona Gothic Quarter food tour takes you through the oldest part of the city, where Roman walls meet medieval architecture and traditional tapas share space with modern Spanish cuisine. You will taste authentic dishes at family owned establishments, from vermouth with Iberian ham to creative interpretations that respect tradition while adding a contemporary touch. Your local guide shares the stories behind each bite, including the cultural influences that shaped regional cooking, why Spanish omelettes inspire strong opinions across the country, and what “hacer el vermut” truly means to locals. Between stops, you will explore the historic Call (Jewish Quarter), walk past the remains of the Roman forum in Plaça Sant Jaume, and experience the vibrant streets that have kept this neighborhood at the heart of Barcelona for centuries.

Perfect food and drink tour in Barcelona

We did the ~3 hour tapas and wine experience with Lorea and it was incredible. She paced everything perfectly, giving explanations behind all the food we tried as well as stops along the way. It was split between a vermouth and tapas venue, then a wine and tapas venue, and then a dessert and cava venue. In between we got to see cathedrals, Roman walls, plazas, and the Jewish quarter. The food and drink was delicious, it was an incredible way to experience Barcelona, and I would highly recommend ...read more

Exceptional food in Old Barcelona

Had a wonderful tour with Marc exploring Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and El Born and eating at some of his favorite spots. A well balanced tour with some history, hidden gems for shopping and of course exceptional tapas, drinks and desserts. We had traditional tapas, fusion tapas at a popular spot, and desserts and cava in the Gothic Quarter.
