Description
Good to Know
Discover Barcelona's oldest kitchens on this small-group walking tour which threads through the Gothic Quarter, El Born, and Barceloneta, stopping at family-run spots where the same hands have been cooking for three generations. Tear into crispy fried aubergine drizzled in balsamic honey, dig into fideua simmered paella style, and toast with cava and wine poured the old-fashioned way, straight from a porron. Between bites, hear about a Gothic church built stone by stone by the neighborhood itself, a promenade that once hosted medieval jousting tournaments, and a quiet memorial to Catalonia's fight for independence
A small group to ensure there is room to ask questions, and a three-hour walk that takes you through three neighborhoods and a few family legacies still alive today.
