Offered in: English

Gràcia is one of Barcelona’s strongest expressions of Catalan identity, and nowhere is that more evident than in its markets, bakeries, bodegas and neighborhood restaurants.

On this tour, we’ll explore the district through some of its most beloved institutions, beginning with coffee and traditional cakes at a century-old sweets shop. We’ll visit two celebrated markets, taste local cheeses and fine Iberian ham, and stop at a classic neighborhood bar for a glass of artisanal vermouth before lunch.

Along the way, we’ll also discover the newer side of Gràcia, where creative chefs are reinterpreting traditional Catalan dishes and independent shops are bringing fresh energy to the neighborhood. Across a dozen stops, from rustic institutions to more contemporary spots, we’ll get a deeper understanding of Catalan cooking, culture and everyday life in one of Barcelona’s most distinctive districts.
