Food market guided tour with tastings

Begin your experience in one of Barcelona’s traditional market areas. Meet your local guide and learn about the city’s long-standing trading roots and how markets have shaped Catalan cuisine and everyday life for generations.

From there, continue on foot through historic streets and lively squares, revealing how different neighbourhoods evolved over time. Along the way, stop at authentic local taverns to enjoy tastings of traditional food and drinks, experiencing firsthand how locals eat, drink, and socialize.

Rather than focusing on specific dishes, the emphasis is on atmosphere, shared moments, and cultural context. Between tastings, hear stories about merchants, artisans, and everyday people who helped shape Barcelona’s identity.

Designed for small groups, this experience moves at a comfortable pace and encourages interaction with your guide. It’s ideal for travellers who want to go beyond the main sights and discover Barcelona through its markets, taverns, and local food culture—one neighbourhood, one story, and one flavour at a time.
