Barcelona Food & Wine Walk

About this walk

Barcelona eats standing up, in markets and tiny bars that never make the guidebooks. We start at the Boqueria for jamón and fruit you can smell from the street, then work into El Born for vermut, anchovies, cheese from the Pyrenees, and two glasses of wine that actually come from Catalonia. Three hours, six tastings, come hungry. Tell us about allergies when you book — and leave room for the last stop.

Meeting point
