What to expect

  1. 10m
    Welcome to our culinary journey, starting at Plaça de Ramon Berenguer el Gran! Our guide will make introductions, setting the stage for an exciting exploration of Barcelona's rich culinary scene.
  2. Catedral de Barcelona
    15m · Admission ticket not included
    Located at the heart of the Gothic Quarter, the Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that took six centuries to complete. While its facade is famously ornate and neo-Gothic, the interior is a cavernous space of high vaulted ceilings and stunning 14th-century stained glass. Its most charming secret is the secluded cloister, home to thirteen white geese, a living tribute to Saint Eulàlia, the city’s co-patron saint, who was martyred at the age of thirteen. A great monument to visit on your trip to Barcelona and a nice way to start your food tour !
  3. El Born
    30m
    Once the site of medieval jousting matches, El Born has evolved into Barcelona’s most effortlessly cool neighborhood, where ancient stone walls meet high-end fashion and artisan boutiques. It is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets centered around the magnificent Santa Maria del Mar basilica, a pure example of Catalan Gothic style. By day, it’s a cultural hub featuring the Picasso Museum; by night, it transforms into a vibrant social scene filled with some of the city’s most inventive tapas bars and "speakeasy" cocktail lounges. It only makes sense to take you around this neighbourhood for our food tour
  4. 30m
    Embark on a culinary adventure in the El Born neighborhood, beginning with the vibrant Mercat de Santa Caterina. This modern food market, known for its innovative architectural design, is a haven for food enthusiasts. Explore stalls brimming with fresh produce, meats, fish, and a delightful array of Catalan and Mediterranean ingredients. Beyond its culinary offerings, the market fosters a sense of community, where locals gather to shop for quality goods and enjoy a social atmosphere. El Born, characterized by its medieval streets and cultural richness, adds a trendy and historic flair to our culinary journey.
  5. La Barceloneta
    1h 30m
    Our next stop takes us to La Barceloneta, a lively coastal neighborhood celebrated for its golden sandy beaches and maritime charm. Originally developed in the 18th century, La Barceloneta maintains its maritime heritage through narrow streets and colorful buildings reminiscent of a traditional fishermen's quarter. Renowned for its seafood restaurants, where fresh catches of the day delight the palate, La Barceloneta transforms as night falls into a vibrant nightlife hotspot. The beachfront bars and clubs come alive, drawing both locals and tourists for an evening filled with music, dancing, and socializing. Whether basking in the sun or embracing the nightlife, La Barceloneta offers a dynamic and unforgettable experience.
