Overview

Catalan gastronomy is world famous thanks to the likes of Ferran Adria, Carme Ruscadella and the Roca Brothers. It has evolved from simple market cuisine to creative tapas with ever-changing taste sensations and flavours.

During this walking food tour of Barcelona’s central, but authentic, El Born district we chart ‘The Evolution of Catalan Cuisine’ from its humble (but delicious) beginnings, to the modern fare which the region’s celebrity chefs have made famous.

We start with a tour of the wonderful Santa Caterina food market.
Next, we’ll visit a traditional basque style pintxos bar to taste the immense variety of Northern Spanish cuisine.

Afterwards we’ll head to a lively taverna and we have the chance to drink from a Spanish porron vessel.

Finally, what better way to round off a food tour than bodega, to taste the classic cuisine that Catalans have enjoyed for generations? We’ll even get to make our own pan amb tomaquet (tomato bread).

What's Included

  • Snacks Food and Tapas to share so you wont be hungry afterwards
  • Alcoholic beverages One drink of your choice in each place - choose from beer, wine, cava, vermouth, water or soft drinks.
  • Experienced and fun local guide!
