Barcelona Picasso Museum & El Born Tapas & Wine Small Group Tour

Your journey begins at the Picasso Museum, where your expert guide will take you through the artist’s remarkable connection with Barcelona.

Rather than trying to see more than 4,200 works, you’ll focus on the pieces that best reveal Picasso’s evolution, from his earliest academic works to the experiments that would eventually transform modern art. Along the way, discover how the city, its people and its creative circles shaped the young Picasso.

From the museum, continue on foot through the medieval streets of El Born and begin your introduction to Catalan food traditions.

Barcelona’s best local dining spots usually come alive later in the evening, long after many visitors would normally choose to have dinner.

For this experience, we’ve partnered with carefully selected restaurants, giving you the chance to enjoy the quality and atmosphere of Barcelona’s dining scene at a more convenient time.

At our first stop, learn how locals prepare the iconic “pa amb tomàquet” and make your own before taking on another Catalan tradition: drinking wine from a “porró”.

From here, step into El Born, one of Barcelona’s most atmospheric historic neighborhoods. Walk through its narrow medieval streets and stop at Santa Maria del Mar, where your guide will reveal the story of the local community that helped build this extraordinary Gothic basilica.

Slip through a discreet passageway and arrive at the first restaurant, a place chosen for the quality of its cuisine rather than its visibility to visitors.

Here, you’ll sit down for a curated tasting inspired by Catalan and Mediterranean flavors, paired with selected drinks.

Continue through the neighborhood to a traditional gourmet store, where you’ll discover some of the ingredients, products and traditions that define Catalan cuisine.

Your final stop takes you to a second local restaurant for another sit-down tasting. This experience has been designed so you can enjoy the food, the wine and the conversation at a relaxed pace, in places we would genuinely choose for dinner in Barcelona.

And because every good dinner deserves dessert, finish with Jon Cake’s famous cheesecake, one of Barcelona’s most sought-after sweet treats.
