Highlights

More than many cities in Spain, Barcelona is a melting pot. Influenced over the years by cultures from within Spain and beyond, the dishes that we consider traditional today weren't always part of Barcelona's story. But without them the city wouldn't be the same. On this tour, we'll explore a mix of traditional businesses and the ones that are writing that story today, while we discover the real Barcelona through its food.


  • Take an insider tour of a market that's always packed with locals (unlike the Boqueria!)
  • Learn—by tasting!—how Barcelona's current traditional dishes came to be.
  • See the local side of two essential Barcelona neighborhoods: el Born and Barceloneta.
  • Try paella in one of Barcelona's most iconic spots, and learn to spot an authentic paella!
  • Explore the bakeries, bodegas and food shops that are the heart of central Barcelona.

Itinerary

  • Mercat Santa Caterina

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Free

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    We'll head to one of the market's most-loved bars. Open since the 1980s, this is where locals stop for breakfast and lunch while shopping—and that's exactly what we're here to do! You'll enjoy a glass of sparkling cava (the true Catalan way to start the day!) paired with next-level sandwiches featuring treats such as spinach tortilla and spicy Mallorcan sausage.

At our first Barceloneta stop, it’s time to practice the art of the Spanish aperitif! We'll visit a local bodega for a glass of vermouth and Barcelona's favorite tapa: the bomba. Considered by locals to be the only tapa ever invented in Barcelona, we'll share its colorful story with you.
  • Can Ramonet

    40 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    At our last stop, we'll finish strong with a traditional Spanish lunch! You’ll visit a tucked-away restaurant in the fishermen’s district that's been open since the 1950s. Here we'll enjoy some of the best homemade seafood paella in town, paired with fantastic local wine!
