    Full description
    Firstly, your local Barcelonian guide will take you to a little family cafe where you will try a homemade typical Spanish breakfast: Churros and hot chocolate. Some tiny streets later, you will have the chance to taste and see the diversity of gastronomy in the local Market Hall, where you will taste sumptious Spanish and Catalan cheeses and the famous Iberian Ham (jamón). Along the way, your guide will teach you some great knowledge about both the history and the gastronomy to enhance the whole experience. Have fun and try to drink from a Porrón (you will find out on the day).  You will understand the influence of other cultures in Spanish dishes in one of the most emblematic shops of the city, which  has also been a  master roaster since 1851. Learn the real origins of tapas and try some delicious items in a family restaurant with some wine. Get closer to the Meditéranean sea by sitting around a table and drinking fresh sangria and authentic paëlla, in one of the most picturesque places in the city. Finally, look out at the sea and finish this great adventure close to the beach for a friendship toast with Cava wine.  There will also be a delicious secret dish to look forward to!

      Schöne Tour! Sehr vielfältig, da man zum einen eine sehr umfassende Stadtführung bekommt und gleichzeitig sowohl lokale Spezialitäten probieren darf, von Süßem über einen Stopp beim Markt, Tapas und mehr. Dabei wird immer auch eine Verbindung zur Geschichte des Essens und der Bedeutung für die Region gemacht. Die Tour dauerte länger als beschrieben, was auch daran lag, dass wir zuletzt gesellig beisammen saßen und den Vormittag haben ausklingen lassen. Der Guide hätte etwas persönlicher sein können, aber war insgesamt sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Gerne wieder.

      Food tour was awesome. We did it the day we arrived in Barcelona off a cruise. Helped us get acquainted with different areas of the city and different local foods and wines. Andrés, our guide was awesome. We learned so much and revisited certain areas and markets that we would never have found on our own. A must for a first time visitor or even a retuning one. 5 stars for sure.
