This walking tour lasts about two and a half hours through Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and El Born neighborhoods. It includes tastings of nine tapas dishes such as patatas bravas, croquettes, pimientos de Padrón, boquerones, pintxos, and paella. The tour starts with a meeting near the main post office at Pl. de Correus, 1, where the guide awaits by a yellow flag. The first food stop is a traditional tapas bar in the Gothic Quarter serving classic dishes paired with wine. Then, the group visits a family-run bodega operating since 1945 near the port, sampling fried white anchovies, Catalan butifarra sausage, and Spanish vermouth poured from a porrón. This stop may be replaced or supplemented in case of seasonal closures or weather. Walking through the Gothic Quarter, the tour passes Roman walls and towers before entering El Born. There, participants stroll past artisan shops and galleries to a pintxos bar on Carrer de Montcada where they choose their own pintxos. After a short break with information about the Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, the tour concludes back in the Gothic Quarter with paella, sparkling cava, and a traditional dessert. The tour includes pre-booked tables at four local restaurants, a small group setting, and options for vegetarians and alcohol-free drinks at every stop. Alcoholic beverages are served only to guests over 18. Vegan and gluten-free diets cannot be accommodated.
