About this experience
Taste your way through one of Catalonia's celebrated culinary hubs on this private Barcelona food tour. You'll explore a historic fishing village, La Barceloneta, with authentic cuisine and drinks at each stop.
As your guide shares what makes each dish unique, you’ll sample a diverse array of premium tapas. Savor grilled red prawns, 100% black-label Ibérico ham, patatas bravas, croquettes, the traditional “Barceloneta bomb,” among other favorites. Then cap off the night with seasonal desserts served with a glass of orange wine or aromatic moscatell.
Along the way, you’ll get to know the tapas bars locals love, like Jai-Ca, a Barceloneta favorite for over 60 years, and learn more about this fascinating waterfront neighborhood. By the end of the night, you’ll understand tapas aren’t just about food — they’re a way of life here in Spain. And there’s no better way to experience it than with a local.
