The experience
A tasting walk from the Gothic Quarter to the seafront, with 8+ stops and a secret final dish.
This small-group food tour, capped at 12 guests, moves from the Cathedral quarter through El Born and the Mercat de Santa Caterina before finishing at the seafront in La Barceloneta — tasting Barcelona’s food rather than only sightseeing it.
Stops build toward jamón, Spanish cheeses, tapas, paella and sangria, plus a Catalan pastry and a secret dish revealed only on the day. A Sunday variation swaps in churros, white anchovies, olives and Catalan calçots, with the secret dish and wine or sangria carrying through either route.
The guide translates menus and explains the dishes as the group goes, closing near the water in Barceloneta rather than looping back to the start.
