Why Join This Tapas Tour?
Proper Local Spots
Skip tourist traps and step into bars where locals actually eat and drink: jamón shops, pincho bars, traditional tapas taverns, and more. The exact mix changes depending on the season and what’s best that day.
Four Food Stops
Enjoy four different stops, each with food and a drink included, so you experience a full progressive meal rather than just a couple of bites.
Drinks at Every Venue
Taste Spanish and Catalan drinks along the way: wine, sangria, vermouth and cava, plus soft drink alternatives for those who don’t drink alcohol.
Small, Social Groups
You’ll join a small group of fellow food-lovers — big enough to be fun and social, small enough that you can actually hear the guide and chat with everyone.

About Barcelona’s Tapas Culture
In Barcelona, tapas are a way of life. Locals still hop from bar to bar, sharing small plates, sipping vermouth, and catching up with friends. This tour lets you plug into that rhythm for one evening — with a guide to handle the ordering, the walking route, and the stories.
