Description
On our Sants food tour we will visit many emblematic establishments, getting a taste of what life in Barcelona was like before it became a global hotspot. This neighborhood, one of the city's economic engines during industrialization, has managed to stay under the radar, allowing it to keep its traditional charm and way of life. We will start with a hearty breakfast in the centenary local market and we’ll drop by some of the area's food shops and restaurants, tasting artesanal delicacies and well-loved seasonal dishes. Along the way we’ll stop at an old school bodega to enjoy some vermut and at small bakeries and chocolate stores for handmade sweets.
We won’t leave Sants, though, without a visit to one of the city's most unique social projects, a massive 19th century textile factory transformed by locals into a bustling cultural center. Over a drink and more bites there, we’ll learn how cooperatives and social movements make this neighborhood so special.
