Description

Good to Know

Barcelona’s food scene is as rich as its history, and this tour brings both to life. Explore the city’s historic Gothic Quarter, El Born, and the seaside beauty of Barceloneta while learning how Roman, Visigoth, Moorish, and Latin influences have shaped the vibrant Catalan cuisine we know today. From Basque-style pintxos to the indulgent Bomba de Barceloneta, this experience is all about discovering the soul of Barcelona through its flavors. Sip on vermut, cava, and white wine as you wander past medieval churches, historic waterfronts and even Picasso’s home. If you love great food, history and a drink (or three), this tour was made for you.
