Walking tour to discover Barcelona's tastes and traditions

Begin your tour at one of Barcelona’s most beloved food markets: Santa Caterina. Known for its vibrant colors and lively atmosphere, this market is home to family-run stalls passed down through generations. With your expert guide and a small group of no more than nine people, you’ll explore the stalls while learning about local customs and sampling regional delicacies—specialty olives, Spanish cheeses, and jamón ibérico.

From there, dive into the historic El Born neighborhood. While today it's known for trendy tapas bars and designer boutiques, El Born is rich in medieval charm and fascinating history. As you walk its narrow streets, your guide will share stories that bring this beautiful neighborhood to life.

Next, visit a, famous for its croissants—often hailed as the best this side of the Pyrenees. You’ll also stop at a rare specialty shop, one of the last of its kind, to taste a top-selling traditional product.

Continue to the seaside district of La Barceloneta, exploring its charming streets before settling into a local bodega. There, enjoy a glass of vermouth and try the "bomba," a delicious tapa believed to have originated in this very neighbourhood.

Wrap up your experience with a traditional Spanish meal in a family-run restaurant that’s been serving locals since the 1950s. Savour seafood paella made with fresh, seasonal ingredients, paired with local wine. A perfect end to a flavourful journey through Barcelona.
