This 3-hour walking tour visits Barcelona’s oldest neighborhoods, including the Gothic Quarter, El Born, La Ribera, and the Jewish Quarter. A local English-speaking guide leads the group through narrow streets, combining food tastings with historical insights. The tour starts in a quiet 12th-century Romanesque square in El Born, home to the Capella d’en Marcús chapel, once linked to medieval pilgrims and postal riders. Next, the group stops at a family-run restaurant to taste traditional Spanish dishes such as eggplant with honey, pork cheek, pork meatballs with cuttlefish, padrón peppers, cannelloni with pork sausage, or burrata cheese, paired with a glass of vermouth. Then the tour moves to a tapas bar in the Gothic Quarter, where guests sample seasonal dishes like Jamón Ibérico, bread with tomato, seasonal vegetables, calamari with kimchi sauce, or grilled Iberian pork, served with red wine. Along the way, the guide points out landmarks including the historic Jewish Quarter, the Roman forum site at Plaça Sant Jaume, and parts of El Born and La Ribera. The tour ends in a 14th-century wine cellar in the Jewish Quarter, where guests taste Catalan desserts such as fig ice cream, crema catalana, or chestnut pie, accompanied by a glass of cava sparkling wine. The guide also shares local food and city tips throughout the tour. Included are all food tastings, drinks mentioned, and the guide’s commentary. Gratuities, hotel transfers, and extra drinks are not included.
