What you’ll do

Meet your guide and group of up to 9 people in central Barcelona in the morning and head to Santa Caterina Market, a Barcelona food market similar to the famous La Boqueria Market but with far fewer tourists. Enjoy samples of cured meat and cheeses then head to a local market bar for a glass of cava and a traditional sandwich. Next, head into the winding streets of the medieval Born area to continue your gastronomic explorations. You’ll discover a number of lesser-known Barcelona food vendors, including a nougat shop that’s been in business for over a century. Leave the Born neighborhood and head to seaside Barceloneta for an aperitif. Sip vermouth inside a corner bodega and sample what locals believe is the only type of tapas invented in Barcelona. Finish with a traditional Spanish lunch in a hidden gem of the fishers’ district. Chow down on seafood paella, paired with local wine. You’ll end the trip after your lunch with a full belly and a head full of new knowledge about the locals-only eating habits of this famous Catalan city.

Itinerary

In between delicous food stops explore the Born neighborhood. One of Barcelona's most iconic, we know it's on your list to visit anyway—best to do it with an expert. Your guide will share our favorite neighborhood haunts and stories with you.

Start your morning at the Santa Caterina Market, a local favorite where the stalls have been family-run institutions for decades! You’ll weave in and out of locals doing their shopping as you learn about their daily customs and traditions.

While in the market stop to sample a variety of local Spanish cheese.

Then, of course, try some local cured meats—including jamón ibérico!

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.

Pass through one of the Born neighborhood's iconic historic squares.

We'll visit one of Barcelona's most loved bakeries to try their surprising speciality -- a delicious filled croissant!

Our next food stop is one of Barcelona’s oldest specialty shops—one of the last of its kind, in fact! Here you’ll taste a variety of the shop’s star products.

As you are exploring the Born neighbourhood stop see this Catalan Gothic church.

Explore Barcelona's famous fisherman's neighbourhood where your guide will highlight some of the neighborhood's most interesting corners.

Pass through one of Barceloneta's local squares.

After a morning of exploring (and tasting your way through!) the Born neighborhood, it’s time to head towards the fishermen’s district of Barceloneta! 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.

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!
