About this experience
On this food tour in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, you will explore the oldest area of the city, characterized by Roman walls and medieval architecture. The tour includes tastings of traditional tapas and modern Spanish dishes at family-owned establishments. You will enjoy items such as vermouth paired with Iberian ham and contemporary takes on classic dishes. A local guide will provide insights into the cultural influences on regional cooking and discuss local traditions, including the significance of Spanish omelettes and the practice of 'hacer el vermut.' The experience also involves walking through the historic Call (Jewish Quarter), viewing the remains of the Roman forum at Plaça Sant Jaume, and navigating the vibrant streets that have defined this neighborhood for centuries. This tour is suitable for food lovers and those interested in local culture. It is not ideal for those with dietary restrictions since the focus is on traditional Spanish cuisine.
Itinerary

El Born / La Ribera
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.
2
Placa de Sant Jaume
We will pass through some gorgeous streets and plazas, such as Plaça Sant Jaume, the historic and political heart of Barcelona, where the Roman forum once was. Now home to Catalonia’s main institutions, it’s the perfect spot to discover local politics, flags, and the tradition of human towers, called castells.
