Marvel at the Gothic Quarter and its culinary delights on our exclusive walking tapas & wine tour. Our intimate groups (up to 6-7 max.) ensures personal engagement with our friendly, local guides.

We don't rush; we savour each moment, each bite, appreciating the art of sharing tapas, strolling through ancient streets, and learning about local customs/history, at a relaxed pace.

Celebrated by Rick Steves, Lonely Planet and 1000s of happy customers for 15+ years, our carefully curated tour offers direct engagement with your guide—like dining with a new friend. You'll leave not just sated but empowered to explore Spain with confidence, insider knowledge, ample restaurant recommendations, and a deeper understanding of Barcelona.

Join our sustainable, responsible experience and savour more than just food, but a genuine connection to the city's heart.

What's Included

Local English-speaking guide
Drinks are included! Usually we drink like the locals, with a local vermouth, then wine, then cava! Whether you fancy a local wine, vermouth, cava, a beer or something softer - we've got you covered.
We make water available at each location, and if you'd rather not consume alcohol we can order something softer for you.
We will enjoy snacks/starters and plenty of tapas and desserts throughout the evening. Typically this means 12 dishes, plus drinks (usually a local vermouth, wine, and cava) at each restaurant.

Itinerary

Duration: 3 hours (approximately)
  • (Pass by)

    The Gótico Food Tour starts here and takes you through Barcelona's famous Ciutat Vella (old city): past roman walls, alongside cathedrals, through precious plazas and, most importantly, in-and-out of small, local restaurants that will leave you sated, jolly and with a better understanding of local Catalan and national Spanish cuisine.

    Admission ticket free
  • Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar (Pass by)

    En route between restaurants we will pass many notable sites in the Gothic Quarter, including the "Catedral Del Mar", which was built between 1329 and 1383 and is an exceptional example of Catalan Gothic style.

    Admission ticket free
  • Muralla Romana (Pass by)

    We will also pass by some of the remnants of the Roman city wall of Barcelona (Muralla Romana), constructed largely in the 3rd century to ward off and protect from invaders.

    Admission ticket free
  • Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) (Pass by)

    The whole of our tour is centred around the Gothic Quarter, the oldest part of the city of Barcelona. Its labyrinthine roads, many of which open out onto secluded squares, are now largely pedestrianised. It's an endlessly enchanting neighbourhood, and home to fantastic shops and, of course, some of the very best restaurants.

    Admission ticket free
  • Placa de Sant Jaume (Pass by)

    As we wander between restaurants we will pass through and comment briefly on some of the gorgeous streets and plazas, such as the Plaça de Sant Jaume and the Plaça Sant Just. (The exact route is determined but the mix of restaurants selected for that evening.)

    Admission ticket free
  • El Born / La Ribera (Pass by)

    While the focus of the tour is very much on the iconic Gothic Quarter, we often pass through a few corners of the other beautiful old parts of the Ciutat Vella (Old City): El Born and La Ribera.

    Admission ticket free
