Rambla de Santa Mònica
Meet your English-speaking guide in front of the Centre d’Art Santa Mònica at the bottom of the Ramblas (Metro Station ‘Drassanes’) before setting off on a Barcelona food tour like no other.
10 minutesRambla dels Caputxins
We take you away from the touristy spots and into local neighbourhoods, like the once notorious no-go-area Raval, which nowadays features a unique blend of old medieval buildings, dodgy streets, ambitious new architectural projects with the traditional, multi-ethnic life of the barrio. Just a stone’s throw away, you will enjoy the first tapas experience of the evening in an informal, old bodega from 1903, where we’ll start tasting a filling bomb and a nice glass of red wine.
20 minutesGothic Quarter (Barri Gotic)
The next place awaits us as we navigate our way through one of the most beautiful squares of the Gothic Quarter and its adjacent small streets that still retain their old medieval ambiance. Our next stop is a bar with a beautiful, secret garden where we’ll taste Spanish ham and pa amb tomàquet (bread with tomato) accompanied by a nice white or red wine (as you do!). From there, our Barcelona tapas tour continues as we cross the old heart of Barcino, the name given by the Romans to the city that they founded more than two thousand years ago, where we will identify four columns from old Troy and the transformations that the Old Town experienced.
30 minutesBasilica dels Sants Martirs Just i Pastor
We will pass by Basilica of Saints Justus and Pastor.
Roman city wall in Barcelona
Next up is a hidden, charming, typical Bodega from the first third of the twentieth century, where you can have a vermut (vermouth) and indulge in their exotic croquettes. Then, on the way to the next place, we’ll see some of the oldest businesses of Barcelona (one from 1761), the Roman Walls, the Cathedral or even a giant work by Picasso before vanishing again in the labyrinth of narrow streets.
