This is where your tour will start: enjoy its authentic vibe while you stop at the food stalls of the market and sample the typical delicacies of Catalan cuisine, such as jamòn, cheese and fried fish. The flavors of Barcelona will dazzle you while you eat side by side with the locals.

Visit the charming old town of the city and admire its picturesque architecture. Lose yourself in the maze of narrow alleys and Gothic buildings while listening to your local guide.
