The Best Food Tours Barcelona Has to Offer
There is no better way to get to know a city and its culture than to taste the food it has to offer. In a city like Barcelona where there is a cafe, restaurant, and tapas bar on each block, choosing the right place to go can be difficult. You can spend hours combing through internet reviews and friend recommendations, or you can sign up for a food tour
What is a food tour? A food tour is typically a walking tour through one of Barcelona’s many historic and distinct neighbourhoods. From there, a guide will take you to some of Barcelona’s many hidden culinary gems while explaining what is unique about each one of them. What’s especially nice is you typically only have to pay once to your tour company, rather than over and over at each stop along the way.
So now that we’ve established what a food tour is and why everyone should take one, let’s look at some of the best Barcelona has to offer.
