What to expect
Your guide will meet you and lead the group into El Raval, Barcelona's bohemian quarter. You'll stop at a series of venues, tasting traditional Spanish and Catalan tapas — small plates of cured meat, cheese, seafood, and local specialities — with a drink in hand at each location. The pace is leisurely; you're walking between spots and sampling, not rushing.
Towards the end, you'll reach a rooftop venue where paella is served, followed by dessert. The 360° panorama of Barcelona unfolds above the city noise. Gratuities aren't included, so budget for tips if you wish to leave them.

Good to know
This suits anyone who enjoys walking through neighbourhoods while eating, and wants to sample authentic local food without committing to a single sit-down meal. It's ideal if you're curious about El Raval's character. The tour involves sustained walking and climbing (rooftop access); it's not recommended for those with poor cardiovascular fitness. Prams and strollers are permitted, and service animals are welcome. Small children can participate, though the tapas-focused format suits adults better. Weather exposure on the rooftop is a factor in rainy or very hot conditions. Inclusions: tapas, paella, dessert, drinks, and guide. Exclusions: tips. Group size and exact start time aren't specified — confirm when you book.
