Welcome to Barcelona!
The “Ciudad Condal” is located on the eastern coast of Catalonia, Spain. You are in the right city if you want to see different and unique places. Barcelona has gone from a small Roman outpost to a medieval potential port and from a Spanish potential industry to be one of the most run-down cities in Europe.
Finally, with its rebirth with the Olympic Games, Barcelona has become the city it is today. Nowadays, Barcelona’s doors are opened to the world and it’s a modern and international city being at the same time a unique and special place.
With this guided tour you’ll explore the gastronomy of Barcelona and Spain

Stop 2
With this Barcelona walking tour, we will walk discovering the Gothic Quarter’s charming squares, which rests on the ancient Roman city of Barcino.
We will try Tapas, in the best local restaurants and bars, call bodegas in Catalan.
Tapas is a synonym for good wine and many yummy bites. It means as well family ran businesses sharing daily their family culinary secrets on their busy terraces. But tapas is as well sharing good moments with friends and enjoying live.

Stop 3
Then the tour leads to the Boqueria Market, where we will stop to have some tapas in the typical Catalan restaurant, Pinotxo Bar. Also you will have the opportunity to make some shopping
4
Do you like gastronomy? Then surely you will have done "brunch", or what we call "fork breakfasts" (esmorzars de forquilla) here. What better way to start the day! In a typical restaurant in Barceloneta, one of the neighborhoods with the most personality in the city. By the sea. Savour the tasty "bombas" while the waiter writes down the bill on the marble table. Curious yet?
5
As a bonus, you can visit the markets (Caterina, Ninot) where the Real people of Barcelona shop — spaces full of life, with their own restaurants and bars. Every day exquisite dishes are prepared with fresh products.
