What to expect
You'll meet your guide and begin walking through the narrow streets of Born and Barceloneta, stopping at several local venues over the 3 hours. At each stop you'll be served different dishes—starting with lighter items like white anchovies and churros, moving through cured meats, cheeses, and tapas, then finishing with paella and sangria at a final location. Your guide will explain the history and culture behind each dish as you eat and drink.
The tour wraps up once you've tried the secret dish and finished your final glass of sangria or wine. You'll exit in the neighbourhood where the tour ends, with no return transport included.
