This small-group walking tour covers about three and a half hours and focuses on the food and drink of Barcelona’s Old Town. The tour begins at Gran Teatre del Liceu and proceeds through the Gothic Quarter’s narrow streets. Along the way, guests visit four local bars and a bakery, including family-run taverns and bodegas. The guide explains food traditions and local history while the group tastes over eight traditional Catalan tapas such as la bomba, croquettes, patatas bravas, padrón peppers, and sausage in cider sauce. Drinks included are four classic Barcelona beverages: local beer, regional wine, Barcelona-style vermouth, and house cava. The tour also passes through the historic Jewish Quarter (El Call), known for its medieval alleys and hidden eateries, where some of the tastings take place. En route to the last stop, the group may see the Cathedral of Barcelona or public art by Picasso. The final stop is a vermouth cellar where guests enjoy a glass of vermouth or a local pincho. The tour is led by an English-speaking local guide and groups are limited to a maximum of 12 people. It involves walking approximately 1.6 kilometers through the Gothic and Jewish Quarters. Alcoholic drinks are served only to guests aged 18 and older; non-alcoholic options are available. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated if notified in advance. Some changes to the itinerary or food offerings may occur depending on venue availability.
