Hidden Bars & Authentic Tapas Journey
Overview
This is a truly authentic tapas tour that takes you to parts of the city devoid of tourists, where you discover the locals’ go-to bars-- the perfect place to practice your Spanish (no English menus!), and taste the most delicious of tapas Barcelona has to offer.
During this food & drink experience, I will show you a hidden and unexpected Barcelona, where we will walk and visit the bars of "El Clot" neighborhood, a 100% local community.
You'll eat and drink at family-owned "bodegas" where grandpas and grandmas are still in charge of the kitchen, where they prepare all their tapas, and dishes you won't find in downtown. You'll taste a rich cuisine where local, fresh, and seasonal products pair well with traditional drinks.
Expect the best homemade tapas, from artisanal cold cuts to fresh seafood. Come hungry & thirsty to indulge in our favorite drinks, from cava to vermouth.
Get ready to connect to our culture, and experience the true Barcelona!
