Great tour! The food theme was well-incorporated throughout the trip. Tour leaders (Laia in northern Spain, and Ana in Spain/Portugal) were both wonderful. If you are interested in food and its relationship to history and culture, this is a good trip for you! If you are a picky eater, this is NOT the best tour for you - it's best for those who are open to food experiences and isn't going to want to find a burger or pasta.

Spain Food Tours

Highlights of Spain Food Tours

• Enjoy traditional paella made with saffron rice and a selection of meat (chicken with rabbit or pork) in the original Valencian recipe. 
• Savor traditional tapas plate, often seafood based, served with your morning drink. In some of Andalusia, the tapas are usually free with your beverage of choice. 
• Tantalize your taste buds with a smooth red wine, a spicy white, or a tasty rosé. If you prefer beer, enjoy a local brew or even a delicious coffee available in every bar.  
• Spice up with some of the best Spanish sausage varieties like chorizo , chistorra , and morcilla . 
• There is no better farmer’s market than Potes, so make sure to lap up all the traditional foods with an included market brunch of regional delicacies. 

Travel Tips for Spain Food Tours

• Look for bars and restaurants with a Menu del Dia on your Spain food tour. Although the choices will be limited, you will often get three courses for a reasonable cost. 
• Synchronize with the culture and save your appetite until after 8 pm. The Spanish are serious about their siesta and most places shut down to beat the day’s heat. 
• Make sure to try out small-town bodegas and bars, as authentic Spain is much easier to find once you venture away from the tourist beaches. 
• Interact with the vendors and chefs during your food tour to Spain. They can offer great insights, recommendations and stories behind the dishes you're trying.
• Communicate with your tour provider in advance if you have any kind of food allergy or dietary restrictions.

12 Best Barcelona Food Tours

By: Author Hannah Cooper

Posted on Last updated: October 26, 2023

Never mind the museums and churches, the best Barcelona food tours are reason alone to travel to Spain’s coastal city.

Barcelonian cuisine is inspired by Catalonia and other Spanish regions. Restaurants and markets reflect the season but you can rest assured that seafood, cured meats, and cheeses are available year-round in the city.

Most Barcelona food tours focus on tapas and pintxos (appetizers served on bread) while wine is usually included in the package. This post has the inside scoop on the top-rated tapas and wine tours in Barcelona.

Best Barcelona Food Tours

As Barcelonian and Catalan food revolves heavily around meat, fish, and cheese, the majority of the tours are unsuitable for vegans. However, most operators are able to accommodate vegetarians provided you make a dietary note at the time of booking.

This guide will match you with the best food tour in Barcelona according to your tastes, budget, and travel itinerary.

1. Barcelona Tapas Walking Tour with Food, Wine, and History

Taste the best of Catalan cuisine on this Tapas Walking Tour with Food, Wine, and History . It’s a three-hour tour focused on gastronomy and the cultural history of the city and Catalonia.

The excursion is headed up by a local guide who is well-versed in history and gastronomy and will be happy to answer any questions.

This walking food tour of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter is easily accessible from central hotels. The itinerary covers four bars where you will share tapas dishes and sample a mix of wine, cava, and vermouth. In addition, you’ll score an explanation of how to make your own sangria back home.

Open to solo travelers as well as couples and groups and at a great price, it’s a solid all-rounder.

Price: from $62 per person

Duration: 3 hours

Departure time: 2.15 p.m. or 7 p.m.

Best Barcelona food tour for: Overall experience 

Book the tour here on GetYourGuide.com

Explore the history and architecture, as well as the food around Barcelona.

2. Tapas and Wine Walking Tour in Barcelona with Optional Flamenco

This Tapas and Wine Experience Small-Group Walking Tour gives you the choice of a lunch or dinner slot. It’s slightly costlier than the average tapas and wine tour in Barcelona although that’s reflected in the amount of food you receive. Consider this a full meal!

Either way, you will visit four tapas taverns in the Gothic Quarter and El Born quarters. At each, you will try a variety of meat, cheese, fish, and bread tapas plates as well as a glass of premium wine.

By choosing the evening tour, you also have the option to tap on a flamenco performance. This requires advance booking although you’ll pay the venue for the show. Upgrading makes this one of the best Barcelona food tours for an all-around cultural experience.

Price: from $102 per person

Duration: 3-4 hours 

Departure time: 11 a.m. or 6 p.m.

Best Barcelona food tour for: Food and flamenco

Explore one of the many markets around Barcelona, both with a tour and on your own!

3. Street Food and Sightseeing in Barcelona with a Market Visit

The Street Food and Sightseeing Tour takes place in and around Mercat de la Boqueria off La Rambla.

Your guide will steer you around the vendors while sharing tips, tricks, and recipes about Barcelonian and Catalan food. Along the way, you’ll stop off at a traditional family-run stall. This is where you’ll sample a mix of jámon, cheese, patatas bravas, and pastries – or vegetarian tapa.

At a low price point, this is the best walking food tour in Barcelona on a budget. This tour does require a minimum booking of two people per party and drinks are not included. The market is also one of the best free things to do in Barcelona that you can explore independently.

Price: from $20 per person

Duration: 2.5 hours

Departure time: 11.30 a.m.

Best Barcelona food tour for: Local experience, budget travelers

No Barcelona food tour would be complete without tasting some Iberico ham!

4. Barcelona Electric Bike Small Group Tour with Tapas and Wine Tasting

One of the best Barcelona food tours for adventurous foodies, the Electric Bike Small Group Tour takes place via a fleet of two-wheelers. Fortunately, these bikes save you from having to pedal too much when you have a belly full of cheese.

The route covers El Born, Barceloneta Port, and Ciutadella Park. Stops are designed to show you the sights in between ducking into four different tavern bars and wine cellars. Main roads are avoided as much as possible and you’ll steer clear of congested streets.

Getting around on an e-bike means you cover far more ground compared to a walking tour. Therefore, it’s a clever way to maximize your Barcelona itinerary and see a bit of the coastline. Before you set off, your guide will explain how to use the bikes while helmets are provided for safety.

Price: from $70 per person

Duration: 3.5 hours

Departure time: 4 p.m.

Best Barcelona food tour for: Outdoorsy travelers, covering a lot of ground 

Sample tapas and vermut on one of many Barcelona food tours.

5. Vegan Tapas Walking Tour in Barcelona

The El Born Vegan Tapas Tour is the only dedicated walking food tour in Barcelona for plant-based travelers (or the vegan-curious).

It takes place in the historic center with stops at markets and taverns where you will eat vegan tapas.

The guide will provide insight into ingredients used in Barcelonian, Catalan, and Spanish cooking that are available to vegans and vegetarians. A glass of kombucha, vermouth, and one other alcoholic (beer or wine) or non-alcoholic drink is included in the price.

Before the activity culminates, you’ll receive a PDF guide to eating plant-based in Barcelona. This covers restaurants with vegan menus as well as general tips that might inspire you to cook a meat-free Catalan feast back home. This is a small group tour capped at six pax.

Price: from $80 per person

Departure time: 12 p.m.

Best Barcelona food tour for: Vegans and vegan-curious travelers

Book the tour here on VeganToursBarcelona.com

Sometimes there is nothing better than a cold glass of vermut and a bowl full of delicious Spanish olives.

6. Tipsy Tapas Food Crawl Walking Tour with Tastings

The Tipsy Tapas Food Crawl Walking Tour with Tastings is the best tapas tour in Barcelona’s El Born quarter. It’s an evening tour for social travelers – solo explorers and couples alike.

The route takes you to taverns in this trendy neighborhood where you’ll taste a mix of traditional and modern tapas. While you tuck in, your guide will dish the details about Catalan cuisine and explain how it has evolved over the decades. All plates are paired with wine, beer, and/or cava.

There may also be a couple of shots on the agenda, so wear your party shoes and consider this the gateway to a lively night in Barcelona.

Departure time: 5 p.m.

Best Barcelona food tour for: Socializing and nightlife 

The seafood in Barcelona should not be missed.

7. Secret Food Tour in Barcelona

The walking food tour in Barcelona by Secret Food Tours is an in-depth study of the city’s history, culture, and cuisine. Foodie stops include an ancient Catalan bakery, a market, a tapas bar, and a paella restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

As well as the typical plates of cured ham and regional cheeses, you’ll sample a “surprise” dish. All tours include wine tastings although it’s possible to add the upgraded drinks package to your booking.

Sunday tours differ slightly as they focus on what a Barcelonian family would usually eat when gathering over the weekend.

These tours start with breakfast churros before heading to a restaurant for seafood tapas and culminating over stew, calçots (green onions), and wine from a porrón (wine pitcher). If you happen to be in town over a weekend, this is one of the best Barcelona food tours for a unique culinary experience.

Price: from $94 per person

Duration: 3-3.5 hours

Departure time: 10.30 a.m. or 11 a.m.

Best Barcelona food tour for: Traditional cuisine and culture 

Book the tour here on SecretFoodTours.com

Be sure to try one of the most famous tapa in Spain, a gilda!

8. Paella Cooking Experience and Boqueria Market Tour

This paella masterclass is one of the best Barcelona food tours for a hands-on approach. The Paella Cooking Experience and Boqueria Market Tour starts off in the city’s main market.

A professional chef will guide you through the marketplace and introduce you to the best tapa in Mercat de la Boqueria.

After that, you’ll assemble your own Basque pintxos (also known as montaditos). As you nibble at these, you’ll watch the chef cook a paella in front of you, using fresh seafood and seasonal veggies from the market. The grand finale is to divvy up the rice and dive in – while dipping sangria that you’ll have made yourself.

Although this is more of a demonstration than a traditional cooking class, the chef will call upon group members to assist at certain points. You do have a sangria mixing class though plus you’ll receive the recipes for all items made during the tour.

Price: from $69 per person

Departure time: 1 p.m., 4 p.m., or 6.45 p.m.

Best Barcelona food tour for: Travelers who love to cook

It is common to walk into a bar in Spain, perhaps a bit more common in the Basque, where you will find different snacks on top of freshly sliced bread.

9. Gourmet Tapas and Wine in Barcelona at Sunset

This sunset tapas and wine tour in Barcelona is perfect for a sociable couple or group of friends! Focusing on the El Born and Gothic Quarter areas, the Barcelona Gourmet Tapas and Wine Tour takes place at golden hour.

Starting with a cava and tapa aperitif, you’ll work through various plates at traditional and modern joints. All of these are run by a local family and provide the warmest hospitality and dining experience.

One restaurant throws a spotlight on Latin American food and lets you see how the Argentine proprietor united the cuisine of her home and adopted countries.

As one of the more luxurious tours, this one includes upscale yet casual taverns and lots of food.

Price: from $115 per person

Departure time: 5 p.m., 6 p.m., or 7 p.m. (varies based on time of year)

Best Barcelona food tour for: Couples 

Book the tour here on DevourTours.com

Patatas Bravas come from Barcelona, so any good food tour will no doubt include them!

10. Barcelona Sailing Adventure: Winery Tour, Tasting, and Lunch

This is one of the best Barcelona food tours for a luxury experience. The Barcelona Sailing Adventure departs from Port Olímpic and journeys north to Alella. Once there, you’ll hop into a minivan and visit a family-run winery for a traditional Catalan lunch and wine tasting.

While you’re there, you’ll also enjoy a vineyard and cellar tour to digest your meal. It’s a bit pricey but it’s a great way to get a sense of Catalan food, visit a winery, and see Barcelona from the sea.

The journey back to Barcelona is via road although weather conditions can mean that the travel method is flipped. The tour operates all year although it only runs a couple of days a week during winter.

Price: from $128 per person

Duration: 4 hours 

Departure time: 10 a.m.

Best Barcelona food tour for: Day tripping 

There are so many amazing places to eat in Barcelona, a food tour of the city will allow you to sample a lot of places and a ton of different dishes in a shorter period of time.

11. Wine Tasting Experience in Barcelona

While most of the best Barcelona food tours also include wine, booking a dedicated wine experience is worth booking if you’re a wine fanatic.

This wine-tasting experience in Barcelona is affordable and short enough to squeeze into a shorter itinerary. It’s hosted by a sommelier at a gourmet wine and food store in El Born.

The package includes the tasting of five Catalan wines as well as bread and cheese-based tapas. No Barcelonian would ever drink on an empty stomach!

During the tasting, your host will explain the history of winemaking in Catalonia and the nuances of the wines.

At the end of the activity, you can purchase a bottle of wine to take back to your accommodation. However, there is absolutely no pressure to do this. The tour is available to solo travelers as well as groups and couples.

Price: from $32 per person

Duration: 1 hour

Departure time: 6 p.m.

Best Barcelona food tour for: Wine aficionados

You’ll spot this beer all over Barcelona, why not head to the brewery and see how it’s made and sample a fresh glass?

12. Estrella Damm Old Brewery Tour with Tasting

An alternative (or additional!) option to the wine tasting, the Estrella Damm Old Brewery Tour with Tasting is designed for beer drinkers.

Estrella Damm is one of the most iconic beers in Europe and it originates from Barcelona.

This guided tour takes you into the boiler room, the cooking room, and the machine room. The old brewery contains an archive of objects related to the company’s history.

The tour wraps up with a tasting of five Estrella Damm specialties. It’s located close to La Sagrada Família and makes a short, sweet, and unique addition to your Barcelona itinerary. Just remember your ID if you want to sample the brews.

Price: from $19 per person

Duration: 1.5 hours

What to Keep in Mind When Choosing a Food Tour in Seville

Selecting the perfect food tour in Seville can be a delightful yet daunting task, given the city’s rich culinary landscape. Here are some guidelines to help you make an informed choice:

1. Duration of the Tour

Food tours can range from a quick 2-hour experience to an extensive 4-hour journey. Consider how much time you’re willing to dedicate to this adventure. I recommend opting for a longer tour if you’re a food enthusiast keen on diving deep into Seville’s culinary history.

2. Group Size

Some tours offer a more intimate experience with smaller group sizes, while others may accommodate larger groups. If you prefer a personalised experience, look for tours that limit the number of participants.

This is why I love Walks / Devour Tours – with limited numbers of around 12 travellers, I find it to be the perfect number for a proper immersion. I always end up meeting really interesting people on the tour too, so not only do I enjoy great food, but typically great chats also!

3. Dietary Restrictions

Always check if the tour can accommodate any dietary restrictions you may have. While some tours offer vegetarian or gluten-free options, others may not be as flexible. I try to eat gluten free where possible and haven’t found this to be an issue with any Walks / Devour Tours food tours that I have taken to date. 

4. Type of Food

Seville offers a wide range of culinary experiences, from traditional tapas to modern fusion cuisine. Make sure the tour aligns with your gastronomic interests. If you’re keen on traditional Andalusian dishes, for example, choose a tour that focuses on local, family-run establishments. Many of the Seville tapas tours included in this round up go to these places. 

5. Cultural Elements

Some food tours offer more than just food; they incorporate cultural and historical elements that provide a richer understanding of Seville’s culinary landscape. If you’re interested in the stories behind the food, I recommend a tour that combines culinary delights with cultural insights.

6. Reviews and Ratings

Always check reviews and ratings to get a sense of the quality of the tour. Look for reviews that mention the guide’s knowledge, the variety of food offered, and the overall experience. Also use common sense when reading reviews – people love to complain, so if you see one or two bad reviews amongst a sea of good ones don’t let that put you off – sometimes, the customer is wrong!

Food tours can vary in price, so have a budget in mind. However, don’t let cost be the sole determining factor. Sometimes paying a bit extra can significantly enhance your experience. I especially find this to be the case when it comes to small-group tours of around 10-12 people as opposed to those of 20+ people. 

8. Accessibility

If you have specific accessibility needs, make sure to check whether the tour can accommodate them. Some tours are wheelchair-friendly, while others may involve a lot of walking.

9. Inclusions

Check what the tour price includes. Some tours may include drinks, transportation, or even a cooking class. Knowing what’s included can help you assess the value for money.

By keeping these factors in mind, you’ll be better equipped to choose a food tour that not only satisfies your taste buds but also enriches your understanding of Seville’s vibrant culinary scene.

FAQ: Seville Food Tours

What types of food can I expect on a Seville food tour? Seville is famous for its tapas, so you can expect a variety of small dishes like Iberian ham, Andalusian fried fish, and local cheeses. Some tours also offer modern takes on traditional dishes, as well as regional wines and liquors.

Is it necessary to tip the tour guide? Tipping is not mandatory in Spain , but it’s a nice gesture if you’ve enjoyed the tour. A tip of around 10-15% is generally considered generous.

Are drinks included in the tour price? This varies from tour to tour. Some include a range of beverages like local wines, beers, and non-alcoholic options, while others may require you to purchase drinks separately, either as an add-on when booking the tour or on the day. Always check what’s included in your tour package.

Can food tours in Seville accommodate dietary restrictions? Many tours offer vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, but it’s essential to check in advance. If you have specific dietary needs, contact the tour operator before booking to ensure they can accommodate you. In my own experience, I usually find tour operators to be very accommodating. 

How much walking is involved? Most food tours in Seville involve a moderate amount of walking, usually around the city centre. Comfortable shoes are recommended. If mobility is a concern, look for tours that specify they are wheelchair-accessible or involve less walking. I’ve included details of this where possible in the tour round up above. 

Are food tours in Seville suitable for children? Many food tours are family-friendly and offer a range of foods that even picky eaters will enjoy. However, some tours focus on wine or other alcoholic beverages and may not be suitable for children. Always check the tour description for age recommendations.

1. barcelona food & wine small group tour with a sommelier.

• Duration:  3 hours
• Departure: Rda. de Sant Pau, 1, Eixample, 08015 Barcelona
• Departure Time: 1:00 & 5:00 PM
• Includes:  Lunch, Alcoholic Beverages, Small-group tours of up to 6 people, Professional sommelier to guide you on a culinary journey of food and wine.

I took this tour my first time in Barcelona, and what a treat it was for me! I’ve taken countless tours in cities all around the world, and this is definitely one of those sensory adventures that really made me fall in love with the city.

The Barcelona Food & Wine Small Group Tour with a Sommelier  was some of the most fun I’ve had, with a knowledgeable and friendly guide to lead us through some of the best wine and tapas eateries around.

I love the fact that this is a very small group tour setting, allowing for a maximum of just 6 participants for a personalized experience.

My party only consisted of me and one other, but the 4 other participants in our group were so much fun and it was a great opportunity for us to chat and get to know other travelers from around the world.

Upon meeting our guide, we set right off to El Poble Sec, which is a bustling arts area with steep, sloping streets filled with good food.

While there, we learned about how this area once didn’t have any water at all, hence the name “dry town” in Spanish. Here, we tried a wide variety of pintxos, which is a culinary tradition that hails from the North of the country.

Expand To See More See Less

The Spanish champagne that we paired with it, along with the Cava, created a wonderful vibe that I’d love to repeat. We then got to visit the Mercat de Sant Antoni, which is actually a revitalization but dates back to the Roman start of the city.

Sant Antoni is another one of my favorite areas of Barcelona, known for having a hip and busy food scene and offering some of the best wines around.

As our guide is a certified sommelier, we got an in-depth experience learning about each type of wine as well as the different grapes found in the area.

I had no idea right around Barcelona there were so many legendary vineyards, and I highly recommend the tour to anyone who’s curious about vino Español!

• Departure: Pl. de Ramon Berenguer el Gran, Ciutat Vella, Barcelona
• Departure Time: 10:30, 11:30 AM & 5:00 PM
• Includes:  Catalonian pastry, Spanish cheeses, tapas, paëlla, “secret dish”, and more

We all know that if you’re in Barcelona, one of the top food dishes you have to try are the tapas. However, like Paris with its croissants or Italy with its pasta, there are plenty of “tourist” tapas places and authentic eateries that locals love.

With the Barcelona Walking Food Tour with Secret Food Tours , you’ll get to try the latter, with a professional guide there to guide you and take you through all kinds of mouthwatering plates (including the Secret Dish!).

Our tour started out at the Plaça de Ramon Berenguer el Gran, which was pretty easy to access from the Urqu Inaona L1 subway stop and easy to find.

I spotted our guide right away next to the big horse statue, and they were super friendly and welcoming which made the tour that much more fun.

Our first stop was at a little old bakery right next to the cathedral, and given the scent of fresh bread wafting through the air, I’d already been wanting to try it!

The Caterina Market was up next located in Boqueria, where we were able to try absolutely delicious different types of ham and sausages while learning the history behind each type!

I had no idea that was even a thing – I mean, I thought that ham and sausage were just ham and sausage.  After that, we took a stroll through the fascinating Gothic Quarter, with its cobblestone streets and ancient architecture that feels like you’re walking through a fairytale.

The different types of tapas tried here were amazing, seamlessly combing and complementing different flavors and textures to create an experience unlike any other! Actually, this tour was the one that made me appreciate tapas in a way I hadn’t before!

The tapas place we went to was definitely very “local” and our guide only enhanced our visit with interesting stories behind the establishment!

Of course, our tour wouldn’t be the same without enjoying some filling, tasty sangria washed down with a glass of tangy sangria and catalan Crema!

I have a huge sweet tooth and the Catalan Crema immediately became one of my go-to desserts with its creamy texture and delicate flavors. Just the vibes of the lively eateries alone made it worth it, but overall this was just a wonderful evening.

This indeed is a secret food walking tour, with facts and stops that you’ll definitely never see on your own!

3. The Award-Winning Barcelona Private Food Tour: 6 or 10 Tastings

• Departure: La Rambla, 82, 82, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona
• Departure Time: Between 12:00 PM & 6:00 PM
• Includes:  Private personalized tour local foodie guide, 6 or 10 food & drinks tastings – depends on option booked, vegetarian alternatives available, carbon neutral tour

Have you ever wished that you had a local friend who knew all the best foodie places to take you on your trip abroad? Well, we can come pretty close on the Award-Winning Barcelona Private Food Tour: 6 or 10 Tastings excursion!

It’s one of the most flexible I’ve experienced, offering shorter and longer tours as well as a morning and afternoon start time option.

One thing I absolutely loved about this tour is that it’s a genuine private tour – many private tours market themselves as such but still include others.

However, with this tour you truly are just you and your guide (as well as anyone else you bring along). There are a couple of different meeting point options as well, which further facilitated the whole start to the experience.

We really started things off on the right foot with our first stop being a charming local bar where we got to try some churros with chocolate and vermut/vermouth, which is apparently quite trendy at the moment.

We then followed it up by trying pintxos, learning about how they all started in a little bar in San Sebastian nearly 100 years ago as well as the difference between them and tapas.

I loved trying the turron and enseimada sandwiches, followed by savory hams at Mercat de Santa Caterina!

We stopped to see some cool sights like the old hospital de la Santa Creu as well as the intimidating Basílica de Santa Maria del Pi, which was apparently all started by a 5th-century fisherman!

I loved the sightseeing and walking around, as it helped me digest some of the delicious plates before trying traditional croquettes washed down with plenty of national wine at the Barra de Ferro.

With a knowledgeable and fun guide who went out of their way to make sure we had a fantastic time, I’d recommend this tour to anyone.

4. Tastes and Traditions: Barcelona Food Tour with Market Visit

• Duration: 3.5 hours
• Departure: Av. de Francesc Cambó, 16, Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona
• Departure Time: 10:00 AM
• Includes:  Small group tour (maximum 12 guests), food tastings (enough for breakfast & lunch), wine tastings, expert local culinary guide, Devouring Barcelona guide, all taxes, fees and handling charges

I’ve been to Barcelona many times, and it can be a bit intimidating to navigate the city’s bustling streets can be a bit challenging. This can make it difficult to find the best places to try traditional dishes here, especially during peak tourist seasons!

The  Tastes and Traditions: Barcelona Food Tour with Market Visit  showed me just how warm and hospitable Barcelona can be, from the people and traditions, to the food, itself.

We met up with our guide in the middle of the city in the morning, which was perfect timing as I hadn’t had breakfast yet and it seemed like we avoided most of the crowds at this time.

After a quick briefing, we kicked things off the best way possible with a little deep-fried xuixo pastry filled with crema catalana and coffee before making our way to a family-run deli that changed my life!

The deli ran by a pair of siblings is quite hidden with essentially no tourists in sight, and I made sure to put it on my list so I come back again next time!

After that, we cruised around by foot to take in plenty of local sites while our guide regaled us with fascinating historical tales, making the centuries past come to life.

We then arrived at the legendary Santa Caterina Market, which is very similar to La Boquería but more “local”, if that makes sense.

We tried plenty of cured meats and cheeses to fuel up for our tripdown the medieval Born area, where we got to try plenty of local vendors (including one shop that’s been in business over 150 years!).

After this, we arrived in Barceloneta, which is located right on the sea, trying locals-style lunch while learning about its origins as a quaint little fishing village!

At a corner bodega, our guide took us for a little shot of vermouth before we went to one of Barcelona’s oldest restaurants to fill up on none other than paella!

This tour truly gave me invaluable experiences and provided me with a deeper understanding of Catalan culinary traditions and the city’s history.

5. Sip, Sites & Bites Barcelona Food, Drinks & History Tour

• Departure: Pg. d’Isabel II, 14, Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona
• Departure Time: 5:00 PM
• Includes:  4 to 5 Beverages, Cava, Sparkling Wine, Clara, Vermut & more Wine, 10 to 11 Food tastings: Patatas bravas, Pa amb tomàquet, Manchego Cheese, Iberic Ham, and much more, alcoholic beverages

This next tour is the perfect budget-friendly option for solo travelers, couples, and groups of friends! The Sip, Sites & Bites Barcelona Food, Drinks & History Tour is an excellent choice to make if you have the evening free or are looking for a great alternative to a nice dinner out.

Starting at 5:00 pm, you and your group members will embark on a fun and tasty food tour through some of Barcelona’s most popular neighborhoods.

Limited to just 8 participants, each group feels more like a friend outing rather than a tour with strangers. The guide really set a lighthearted tone, making sure everyone was included, answering any questions we had and telling fun stories.

I love the way our guide seamlessly integrated historical sites with culinary gems spanning the iconic Gothic Quarter to the bustling La Rambla.

Our first stop was actually at the lovely seaside La Barceloneta, where we took in the views and enjoyed a charming visit to a family-owned Catalan bar where we tried 2 tasty traditional dishes!

I sipped on some of the best cava of my life, which was perfectly-paired with our dishes, letting the baked notes of apple and almond really shine through.

We then headed to the medieval Born neighborhood, where we headed into a 14th-century wine cellar where we then tried some clara along with traditional tapas.

No food tour of Barcelona is complete without visiting the Gothic Quarter, and it’s here where I got to take in breathtaking architecture and plenty of delicious food and drink.

Our guide did a fantastic job at bringing to life important historic accounts and incorporating them into food. Even if this tour cost 4 times as much, I would without a doubt take it again.

What to Pack for Barcelona Food and Wine Tour

What to pack for barcelona.

Here are my favorite things to pack when it comes to traveling around Barcelona (or anywhere, really!) I travel a ton , so I've got this down to a science now!

BEST BELT BAG FOR BARCELONA

I'm all about style , practicality, and affordability . Pickpockets can be a real problem in Barcelona, so keeping your belongings secured in front of you is super important.

Don't just take it from me - this belt back has high ratings and comes in EVERY color. Grab a few to match every outfit, if you want!

BACKPACKING IN BARCELONA

There's no question that Osprey has made a name for itself when it comes to backpacking - I recently got one myself! I had a hard time finding which one was right for me.

Lucky for you, they have a nifty "Who is This Pack For" quiz on there Amazon Storefront to help you find the perfect pack. Osprey's are expensive, but they'll last you a lifetime! Backpacks are perfect for Barcelona travel or traveling away for the weekend .

LIGHTWEIGHT SUNSCREEN

Because just like the Caribbean , the sun hits different in Barcelona! Protect your skin. And if you're traveling carry-on only, remember that Europe (specifically London ) has pesky liquid requirements to keep in mind.

PACKING CUBES

As an avid traveler, I need to squeeze A LOT into a little. Packing cubes are surprisingly space saving - and a great way to organize. I have these packing cubes - they've lasted a long time and are versatile enough to get me through every trip.

WHITE SNEAKERS

Make your feet happy and ditch the heels when heading to Barcelona - trust me! Walking around this beautiful city can be hard work. You'll be grateful for some cute and comfortable white sneakers instead.

EUROPEAN PLUG ADAPTER

These nifty gadgets are a lifesaver while traveling Europe: Double ports (x2) and USB ports (x2) make for a total of four ports. Solid and durable, these gizmos have survived several years - guaranteeing amazing quality. And with almost 10,000 excellent ratings on Amazon, I know I'm not alone!

LIQUID IV HYDRATION PACKS

Liquid IV has saved me on multiple occasions. Hot days, hikes, parties, weddings, and more. I don't go anywhere packing it in my suitcase  - and you shouldn't either 😃 Replenish your electrolytes with Liquid IV's hydration multiplier..

PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY WITH THE BEST VPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) protects your internet connection and privacy while hiding your online identity...and gives you access to your favorite streaming services on the road...

Unsecured connections to public WiFi can result in loss of personal data and even credit card information.

NordVPN is fast, secure, and affordable . Really, you should use it everywhere, not just when you're traveling!

SIM cards can be a nightmare, I get it. Airalo makes it easy to add a SIM card right to your phone - one less thing you have to worry about when you get to Europe. You can purchase a card for Spain, Europe, or Global.

Just make sure your phone is compatible before you buy! You can check in the settings of your phone.

BEST LUGGAGE SET FOR BARCELONA

Coolife not only has some of the best-rated luggage on Amazon, but also the most variety in colors, pieces, and sets.

You'll likely want to check a bag going to Barcelona, but if you're traveling around Europe, you'll need small carry ons. Budget airlines like Ryan Air and Vuelling have smaller overhead space than you might be used to on airlines in America.

Dining out in Spain can be an unforgettable experience, especially in towns like San Sebastian.

Summary of the Best Food Tours in Barcelona

These food and tapas tours in Barcelona are a great way to learn about the culture, history, and flavors of Spain.

Not only can you fill your belly with some of the most delicious foods the country has to offer, but you will also be able to learn about the history of tapas from local guides who are passionate about helping you immerse yourself into their culture.

Many of these tours leave from Gracia or Gothic Quarter, allowing you to be within walking distance to some of the best attractions in the city - including Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia - which I'd highly recommend visiting.

A foodie weekend in Madrid: how to eat and drink like a local

If you want to know what makes the Spanish capital tick, head for its back-street bodegas, tiny tapas bars and neighbourhood food markets

F reshly fried churros, golden and crisp; a cup of velvety hot chocolate alongside; circles of aubergine striped from the griddle; mushrooms silky with chorizo; a jumble of potatoes smothered in spicy sauce; handmade crisps, crunchy and salty; slivers of jamón serrano; plump Nocera olives; and crumbly, herby morcilla … By the end of our first day in Madrid, my sister Penny and I have eaten all these things. A touch indulgent, maybe, but when you’re staying in a city that runs on its stomach, it seems rude not to go with the flow.

Madrileños are famous for eating late, mostly because that mid-evening supper is the last of five meals, starting with a light breakfast – often coffee and a pastry on the fly, before an early lunchtime snack ( almuerzo ), a full sit-down lunch, usually between 2 and 4pm ( comida ), then coffee and cake ( merienda ) and finally supper. Once you understand this, Madrid really starts to make sense: a city of centuries-old pasticceria, hole-in-the-wall tapas bars, neighbourhood markets and dimly-lit bodegas, all crammed with diners. Someone is always eating somewhere. During our visit, it was usually us.

Things begin well with the discovery that Los Artesanos 1902 ( chocolateria1902.com ) – arguably the city’s best-loved churreria – is just around the corner from our hotel. History and tradition are a big part of Madrid’s foodie culture, with many eateries run by the same family for generations. The churros we devour – dipped in rich chocolate the colour of mahogany – are made by the grandsons of the original proprietor; they are fried to perfection and dusted with sugar and cinnamon. Around us, everyone from groups of teenagers to elderly couples is eating and drinking exactly the same thing.

Restaurants specialising in one dish are common in the city, from chorizo-stuffed mushrooms at Mesón del Champiñón ( mesondelchampinon.com ), to finger-singeing bowls of gambas al ajillo at La Casa del Abuelo ( lacasadelabuelo.es ) – another Madrid institution, owned by the same family since 1906. Evening get-togethers tend to be convivial rambles between bars, each selected for one particular dish. We learn all this on a four-hour Devour Madrid food tour ( devourtours.com ) that wraps 2,000 years of Spanish history around four tapas stops, fuelled by tinto de verano – the city’s simplified version of sangria, red wine topped up with a mild lemonade (unusual, but oddly drinkable).

I’m not always sure about foodie tours – you can end up eating a peculiar selection of things – but this was a winner. Our guide, Ana, whisked us through Moorish skirmishes, Habsburg domination and the harsh realities of Franco-era Spain, leaving us with full stomachs, a new appreciation of Spain’s volatile past and the strong impression that although the city has a cutting-edge culinary scene (currently it has 26 Michelin-star restaurants), it’s in the markets, bodegas and tapas bars where you really eat like a local.

With this in mind, we set out the next morning to explore the city. Madrid is a grand sprawl of a capital; Gran Vía could easily take its place beside Fifth Avenue in terms of scale and elegance, while Retiro Park unfolds around the sweeping colonnade of the Monument to Alfonso XII – a spectacular backdrop to the shimmering lake. It’s too cold for the boats to be out, but warm enough to sit with a thimble of thick black coffee while we pore over maps and decide which market to visit for lunch.

We settle on the Mercado de San Fernando ( mercadodesanfernando.es ) in the hip Lavapies district. Every neighbourhood has a market – the most famous, the Mercado de San Miguel, now draws more visitors than the Prado gallery. San Fernando is more under the radar; a nondescript building containing a ramshackle maze of market stalls sells everything from meat and cheese to books and electrical appliances. We settle in among the patchwork of micro-breweries and food stalls at El Colmado, where the counter holds enormous empanadas the size of A4 notepads, waiting to be cut into chunks and warmed. I go for bacon and chorizo, the light, buttery pastry delicious against the spicy meat, and wash it down with a caña , the city’s sensibly small beer, served in 200ml glasses. Later, wandering back to the hotel, we dip into Mercado de San Miguel, but it feels rather like Selfridges food hall and we don’t stop.

In between the eating, we find time to see some of the city’s fantastic art, opting for the more manageable Thyssen-Bornemisza over the gargantuan Prado – one of the world’s most extraordinary private collections, encompassing works by everyone from Titian and Tintoretto to Warhol and Pollock. But the real joy is the Sorolla Museum, the former home and exquisite garden of Joaquín Sorolla, kept much as it was when he lived there and filled with dozens of his works. The paintings are a lesson in Spanish history as well as art; he was commissioned by various organisations, including the Hispanic Society of America, to travel the country and paint everywhere from Andalucía to the Valencian coast, giving an insight into rural life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

From the museum, we stroll to the leafy Salamanca district, famous for its designer boutiques and high-end restaurants, for our final lunch. Even here, there is a market to discover: Mercado de la Paz ( mercadodelapaz.com ), although every seat is taken at the bar counters that slot between the food stalls. Instead, we snap up an outdoor table at Jurucha ( jurucha.com ), a simple tapas bar where a couple of cañas and a selection of croquetas and pinchos gratinados (baguette slices topped with béchamel and melted cheese) costs less than €20 (£17).

At the ned of our stay, we reflect that in spite of our best efforts, we’ve barely scratched the surface of this foodiest of cities. We didn’t try el cocido , the city’s iconic stew, where the broth is served first and the stewed meat and vegetables as a main course, or huevos rotos , fried eggs served on chips and ham. But happily, that can only mean one thing. We’ll have to go back for second helpings.
