Description
Begin at the Boqueria Market, one of the top food markets in the world. As your guide leads you through the patterned walkways, you’ll learn about Catalan food traditions and even enjoy a tasting of nougat and olives.
Next, explore the scenic Ramblas promenade. Soak up the energy of this former market and snap a few photos of open-air cafes, flower stalls, and the unusual Miró mosaic.
In the Gothic Quarter, discover the Santa Caterina Market, the city's first covered market, with an undulating, colorful roof and ruins of a medieval monastery.
We’ll also stop by a caganer shop to hear the story of one of Catalonia’s strangest traditions. Then visit the church of Santa Maria del Mar and finally El Born Market, a striking building now housing the remains of the Born neighborhood.
Upgrade to end your tour with a special tasting of cured meats, premium cheeses, Catalan tomato bread (pa amb tomàquet), and wines, led by a professional sommelier and your guide in a private room just for our group.
