    Carrer de la Mercè

    You will start your culinary journey in Carrer de la Mercè, one of the most vibrant streets of Gothic Quarter, near which you can also admire the stunning omonymous basilica, dating back to the XVII century. Here you will visit one of the oldest still running tapas bars in Barcelona, where you'll taste a glass of local wine paired with various tapas, such as fried anchovies, tomato salad and "Pincho de Botifarra", a piece of the typical “pan con tomate” (bread spreaded with tomato juice) topped by a piece of sausage.

    Let's continue our tapas tour in Carrer del Regomir. Nearby, we’ll enjoy a mix of delicious tapas such as the famous pan con tomate - freshly baked slices of bread with a tomato spread on top - pimientos del padron - small green peppers seasoned with olive oil - or the iconic potato tortilla. All of this will be accompanied by Cava, the “Spanish champagne”.

    Plaça de Sant Josep Oriol is a small square behind the Famous Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi, but despite its more famous neighbour, this square is worth a visit, especially during the weekend, where an artists' market takes place and - if you're lucky enough - you can see them painting en plein air! In a tapas bar nearby, you will discover some of the best pintxos in town!

    Placa de Sant Jaume

    Plaça Sant Jaume is the administrative heart of Barcelona, where you can admire - but only from the outside - some buildigs like the city hall or the headquarter of Catalan governement. But Plaça Sant Jaume is famous also for another place: one of the oldest bakery shops in Barcelona! Here you'll taste Crema Catalana, one of the most famous desserts in the world and the official regional dessert as declared by the Catalan Institute of Cooking (lunch only). In the evening, you will enjoy a handmade ice-cream flavoured with local ingredients like turron!
