Barcelona is a vibrant city that captivates not only for its architecture and culture, but also for its extraordinary gastronomy. On this 2.5-hour guided free tour you'll explore the tastiest areas of the old town, discovering historic shops, local markets and products that define the Catalan culinary identity.

The experience begins in Plaça de Catalunya, in front of the Olivia Plaza Hotel, where your guide will be waiting for you with a green umbrella. Along the way, you'll visit places such as Casa Gispert, Planelles Donat, Torrons Vicens, La Pineda, Fargas, and Santa Caterina Market (during morning hours), among others.

In addition to the cultural and gastronomic explanations, you will have the opportunity to taste several typical products for free, such as Iberian ham, cheese, nougat, homemade sweets or chocolate. If you take the tour in the afternoon, you can also stop at a traditional churrería.
