Catalan gastronomy is world-famous thanks to Ferran Adria, Carme Ruscadella, and the Roca Brothers. It has evolved from simple market cuisine into creative tapas offering ever-changing taste experiences and aromas. During this culinary tour through Barcelona's central yet authentic El Born district, we showcase “The Evolution of Catalan Cuisine,” from its humble (but delicious) beginnings to the modern dishes that have made the region's star chefs famous. We begin with a tour of the wonderful Santa Caterina food market. Next, we visit a traditional Basque-style pintxos bar to sample the immense variety of northern Spanish cuisine. We then head to a lively tavern, where you will have the opportunity to drink from a Spanish porrón. Finally, is there a better way to round off a culinary tour than in a bodega, sampling the classic cuisine Catalans have enjoyed for generations? We can even prepare our own Pan Amb Tomaquet (tomato bread).

This family-friendly private tour takes place in El Born, a beautiful and historic neighborhood. During this experience, you will learn more about the local culture, food and traditions. This experience is perfect for getting oriented. Your guide will offer you various food tastings tailored to your preferences, which you pay for directly at the restaurants. We recommend booking the tour at the beginning of your trip and starting with a visit to the food market before 3:00 p.m. If you cannot do this, alternative traditional restaurants will be offered. In summer, we recommend visiting a fun dessert and gelato shop, and in winter, a great churro shop. The experience includes a food guide for adults and a fun scavenger hunt! We will contact you to learn about your preferences and ask whether you have any dietary restrictions. Book your private trip to authentic, customized tapas today!
