Enjoy a perfectly paired aperitif with a curated selection of cured meats and cheeses, along with a classic Spanish potato dish—a perfect introduction to the city’s culinary delights.
- Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) - Depending on whether your tour is in the morning or afternoon, take a stroll through the Gothic Quarter either before or after your visit to one of Barcelona’s most historic areas. As you navigate its narrow streets and pass by Ancient Roman ruins, you’ll journey through a thousand years of history. Your guide will provide the fascinating details that bring these streets to life.
- Bar La Plata - The second tapas bar on our tour, established in 1945, offers a menu of four tapas dishes. These dishes have been perfected over the years to highlight what makes Spanish cuisine unique: simple recipes made with the finest ingredients.
- Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) - At your final stop, enjoy a sit-down meal at a local establishment dating back to the early 20th century. Savor a classic selection of Catalan dishes like croquettes and cannelloni paired with local wine, and finish with a delicious traditional dessert.

Highly recommend Valentina! - Valentina is amazing! Very knowledgeable and just lovely. Would highly recommend this tour. She pointed out elements of the history of the area that we would have never seen otherwise. She knew the owners of the restaurants we stopped at and it really made the experience that much more amazing. She even made sure our vegetarian of the group had enough food at each stop!

Devour Tours is A+ - Thank you Eric for leading us through the cobblestone streets of Gothic Quarter stopping at the gem spots along the way for amazing authentic tapas and spirits. The dessert was the very best! Even though we had a light to medium drizzle throughout the tour it didn’t put a damper on it at all due to the streets were opened up for us all .
