Make your way to a central location in Barcelona, where you’ll meet a guide for 5:30pm departure, then set out on foot through the winding, medieval streets of the Gothic Quarter. At the first stop of the evening, try a selection of local charcuterie, sampling treats such as smoked sausages and cured cheeses that are perfect pairings with sparkling and fortified wine.
As you walk to the next stop, you’ll see Roman ruins, and places that reveal Barcelona’s French influences, the legacy of Christopher Columbus, and the story of the 1992 Olympics. Enjoy the time to discuss Barcelona culture and history, then visit two more tapas bars for drinks and food. The selection changes with the season, but the modern tapas might include beef cheeks braised in red wine and fresh fish fried lightly in olive oil, both paired with bold Catalan red wines.
Your evening of tapas and Barcelona history concludes with a sweet note—try Spain’s own version of French toast paired with rich ice cream, then finish the night in the heart of central Barcelona.

Itinerary
We'll start our evening at a bar that opened in 1927 and is a much a part of the neighborhood as the nearby churches and monuments are. Here we'll have vermouth and cava—because why stop at one aperitif when you could have two?—paired with cured meats, cheeses and more.
Duration: 30 minutes
Admission Ticket Included
Dig into the history of Barcelona and the Gothic Quarter of the past. We'll start our 50-minute historic walking tour with Roman ruins and work our way through thousands of years of history, uncovering secrets and hidden corners as we go. While weaving through the Gothic Quarter, it will become clear to you that the food we eat in Barcelona today would be very different if not for all the twists and turns the city went through in the past.
Duration: 50 minutes

Our second stop opened in 1945, and has been serving the same four tapas ever since! Of course by now, they've perfected each one, and these bites sum up what Spanish food is all about: fresh, local ingredients that shine with little intervention.
Duration: 20 minutes
Admission Ticket Included
Finally, it’s time for a sit-down meal at a tapas bar that originally opened in 1935 as a shop selling ice, wine and olive oil. Here you’ll enjoy a selection of traditional Catalan dishes, along with local red wine. Dinner wouldn’t be complete without something sweet, so we'll finish the night with a classic dessert—the Catalan precursor to crème brûlée.
