Barcelona Gothic Quarter Small-Group VIP Tapas and Wine Tour
Overview
You’ll explore the Gothic Quarter and El Born alongside a local guide, on a small-group tour with no more than 8 guests.
Over 3 hours and 15 minutes, you’ll visit three family-run spots for 8 to 12 tapas and desserts, paired with vermouth, Spanish red wine and cava. Expect slow-cooked house favorites, properly carved Jamón Ibérico and a sweet Catalan finish at a bar dating back to the 14th century.
Between tables, the stories flow: the Roman forum where Barcino was born, the medieval Jewish quarter, and the Civil War marks still visible in Plaça Sant Felip Neri. You’ll also learn how to 'hacer el vermut', the weekend ritual locals guard closely.
