Barcelona Tapas Tour

About this walk

Gràcia still eats like a village. We meet on Plaça de la Virreina and walk the side streets where locals order standing at the bar: pintxos, patatas bravas that are actually crisp, croquetas, grilled seafood, and a vermut to finish. Five stops, five tastings included, drinks partly covered. Two and a half hours. Come hungry, tell us about allergies, and leave the Rambla behind.
