Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

Out of all Spanish cities, Barcelona is the biggest melting pot with an impressive history and identity of its own. Now, its food scene is a mix of both Spanish and uniquely Catalan classics. On this tour with a small group of just 12 other people, you’ll get a sense of this fascinating past as well as the ever-changing present, both of which make Barcelona’s food story what it is today.
