## Overview

This Barcelona Gothic Quarter food tour takes you through the oldest part of the city, where Roman walls meet medieval architecture and traditional tapas share space with modern Spanish cuisine.

You will taste authentic dishes at family owned establishments, from vermouth with Iberian ham to creative interpretations that respect tradition while adding a contemporary touch. Your local guide shares the stories behind each bite, including the cultural influences that shaped regional cooking, why Spanish omelettes inspire strong opinions across the country, and what “hacer el vermut” truly means to locals.

Between stops, you will explore the historic Call (Jewish Quarter), walk past the remains of the Roman forum in Plaça Sant Jaume, and experience the vibrant streets that have kept this neighborhood at the heart of Barcelona for centuries.
