Tapas & Food Tour
A guided crawl through local bars and markets, eating as you go — only as good as the operator you pick.
The call
Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
The value of a food tour is entirely in the route and the guide.
Our read - 02
A good small-group one (think operators like Devour or Wanderbeak, capped at a handful of people) walks you into vermouth bars, market stalls and pintxos counters you'd never find, in neighbourhoods like Gràcia, Sant Antoni or El Born away from the Rambla, and explains what you're eating with wine or cava along the way.
