Walk from the Gothic Quarter through El Born to Barceloneta with a local English-speaking guide such as Jordi or Muriel. Expect eight or more tastings, including Catalan pastry, cheeses, cured meats, tapas, paella, sangria, churros, anchovies, and a secret dish. Come hungry and wear good walking shoes.
“Our guide Miguel was fantastic. It was a lot more food than I expected. I recommend doing this early in the trip as you get to k know a few neighborhoods and get a list of recommendations at the end that you can use for the rest of your trip.”

“Amazing food tour- our tour guide Jorge showed us delicious spainish cuisine and provided us with a entertaining history lesson on spainish cuisine, among other things! We had a great time and felt taken care of - it was a very low stress activity, and the perfect way to experience the bustling city of Madrid as outsiders who want to go where the locals go.”
