What to expect

Gothic Quarter
1h 30m · Admission ticket included

Begin near the Cathedral of Barcelona, the historic heart of the Gothic Quarter. Wander through winding medieval streets and small plazas as your guide shares stories of local traditions. Along the way, stop at authentic tapas and pintxos bars. Sample favorites such as tortilla, jamón, croquetas, and anchovy skewers, paired with sangria, vermut, or Spanish wines. Learn fun dining customs, like the “toothpick trick,” and discover why food here is as much about culture as it is about flavor.
El Born
1h · Admission ticket included

Cross into the atmospheric El Born district, a lively neighborhood filled with candlelit bars and old taverns. Take a seat at rustic wooden tables to enjoy family-style tapas like patatas bravas, pan con tomate, and freshly fried seasonal fish. Try pouring wine from a porrón like a local, and end the evening with traditional Catalan bites such as bacalao or tortilla, paired with regional wines. Your guide will close the night with tips on the best dessert spots, wine bars, and local favorites to explore after the tour.
