I have lived in cities worldwide like Sydney, Buenos Aires, Panama City, London, Boston, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and others. I've been fortunate to live in Barcelona for over 8 years, trying to eat every bit of this city. Only some of the best local food and drinks this world-renowned city has to offer.

Tour description

¡Hola, food adventurers! Ditch the dusty history books and grab your forks – we're going on a 2,000-year culinary time warp through Barcelona's Barri Gotic! Think "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Tapas," not boring lectures. Our foodie guru (who probably dreams in pintxos) will be your sherpa on this 2.5-3 hour tastebud tango. 

Forget dry dates and names; we're making history edible. Imagine "History's Greatest Hits," but with flavor explosions instead of boring facts. We'll explore ancient Barcino (yes, the Barcino!), where cobblestones whisper tales of emperors, gladiators, and seriously good eats. 

The Great Gothic Grub Crawl (aka Operation Delicious): Boqueria Market Mayhem: Sensory overload alert! This market is a foodie free-for-all – a vibrant kaleidoscope of sights, smells, and tastes. 

Our guide will navigate the delicious chaos, pointing out hidden gems and maybe slipping you a sample (if you're lucky!). 1st Foodie Stop: Pintxo Power Hour: Pintxos and a Clara? It's like asking, "What's a party without cake?" Expect miniature culinary masterpieces. 

2nd Foodie Stop: Catalan Classics: Botifarra sausage that'll make your tastebuds flamenco, pa amb tomàquet, and a refreshing Mediterranean salad. Seafood Sensations: Pescaditos so fresh they practically jump onto your plate. Feeling adventurous? Try wine from a porrón – messy, fun, and Instagrammable! A culinary hug from Catalonia!

 Last Foodie Stop: Jamón, Cheese, & Cava Finale – The Holy Trinity of Deliciousness: Indulge in the heavenly combination of jamón serrano (Spanish cured ham), Manchego cheese, and sparkling cava from a local vineyard. It's the perfect way to end our culinary journey on a high (and bubbly) note. And don't forget the sweet treat from before Columbus time. 

Medieval Meanderings: We'll wander the Barri Gotic's enchanting streets, where our guide shares juicy stories of Barcino's glory days. Architectural eye candy and historical tidbits galore! Cultural 

Immersion: Beyond the bites, our guide weaves together Barcelona's history, from Roman times to now, revealing its unique cultural identity. 

Unforgettable Memories: This isn't just a food tour; it's an immersive experience blending history, culture, medieval charm, authentic flavors, and Barcelona's vibrant energy. 

Prepare for epicurean bragging rights! Ditch the guidebooks, loosen your belts, and join us for a Barcelona taste experience you won't forget! History and food, all in one delicious package
