Description
Begin your private tapas adventure in a family-owned bar that has been part of Barcelona’s community for more than a century. Raise a glass of cava and vermouth—two Catalan aperitif classics—while sampling delicious small plates that introduce the flavors of the region.
From here, set out on a guided history walk through the Gothic Quarter. As you explore its maze of narrow backstreets, your guide will weave together stories of Roman ruins, medieval guilds, and political upheavals of the 20th century, giving depth and color to the city’s layered history.
Your next stop is a hidden institution beloved by locals and even Spain’s top chefs. Open since 1945, this tiny bar has perfected the art of simplicity, serving just four tapas dishes for nearly 80 years. With each bite, you’ll discover why quality ingredients are the key to unforgettable flavor.
To close the tour, sit down at a historic bar dating back to the early 20th century. Once a bohemian gathering place, today it serves as the perfect setting for a shared meal of traditional Catalan specialties, from croquettes to cannelloni, all paired with local red wine. You'll try a classic Catalan dessert for the grand finale.
With a private guide and flexible pacing, this tour offers the freedom to fully enjoy both the flavors and the stories of Barcelona, making it ideal for couples, friends, or special celebrations.
