About this excursion
This private walking tour follows the side streets from the Gothic Quarter through El Born to the Barceloneta seafront, at a pace that’s entirely yours.
Over 3.5 hours, you’ll share 6 tastings and 3 drinks across five stops. At midday, the first round is poured from a porrón in a vaulted bodega by the old Roman wall; in the evening, it’s a lively port-side bar beneath curing hams. Then choose your own bite at a Basque counter, and settle in at a family tavern in Barceloneta’s oldest house, where a pan of fideuà lands on the table with a glass of cava. A Catalan pastry rounds things off.
Between tastings, your guide shapes the stories around what interests you, from the 1714 siege and the church El Born built by hand to the cheeky caganer. Linger longer, ask anything, skip nothing. No strangers, no compromises.
