Highlights
More information
If you really want to get to know Barcelona, its markets are a good place to start. In this private guided experience, you’ll soak up the sights, sounds, smells, and flavors of Barcelona’s vibrant market scene.
Browse the kaleidoscope of food stalls at La Boquería, sampling local olives and rich nougat. Taste olive oil as you learn how it’s made. Smell the perfume from flower stands along Las Ramblas. Even the local caganer shop is a window into one of the most unusual Catalan traditions.
After exploring the markets firsthand, you’ll continue to the private wine cellar of one of Barcelona’s best wine shops, where you’ll savor a variety of cheeses, cured meats, classic Catalan tomato bread (pa amb tomàquet in Catalan or pan con tomate in Spanish), and premium wines. A professional sommelier will lead this culinary experience, sharing what makes each sip worth savoring.
