Description:
No on wants to wind up in an overpriced tourist trap dining on bland food. Experience the true flavor of Barcelona during this pre-dinner walking tour and learn the history of a centuries-old dining tradition.
Tantalize your taste buds off the beaten tourist track as your guide leads you into hidden corners of central Barcelona to sample a large array of delectable Spanish tapas. You’ll enjoy delicious treats in undiscovered neighborhood bars that locals have frequented for decades: from fresh olives, Manchego cheeses, and fried squid, to sauteed mushrooms, spicy tuna salad, and patatas bravas. Sample local drinks such as a spicy, home-brewed vermouth, or a clara – a combination of beer and lemon soda characteristic in these areas of Barcelona.
This experience includes your private, informational tour plus a selection of high-quality, traditional tapas in three different rustic, hole-in-the-wall tapas bars in three separate neighborhoods – from the historic and quaint Gothic Quarter to seaside Barceloneta, teeming with raw charm and personality.

Keep in mind, these are local establishments, where we or any Barcelona native would eat, and tourists would unlikely find on their own. This means that everyone shares off of plates in the middle of the table, and it’s not uncommon to find yourself eating with toothpicks or chucking your used napkins on the floor. Standing at the bar while waiting for a table is to be expected. In order to make sure you get a full and rich experience, we generally select the various dishes and drinks, however, we can be flexible depending on your specific likes and dislikes, which you can discuss with us or your guide.
