What to expect

1

Plaza de Ramon Berenguer el Gran

The Gótico Food Tour starts here and takes you through Barcelona's famous Ciutat Vella (old city): past roman walls, alongside cathedrals, through precious plazas and, most importantly, in-and-out of small, local restaurants that will leave you sated, jolly and with a better understanding of local Catalan and national Spanish cuisine.

2

Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar

En route between restaurants we will pass many notable sites in the Gothic Quarter, including the "Catedral Del Mar", which was built between 1329 and 1383 and is an exceptional example of Catalan Gothic style.

3

Muralla Romana

We will also pass by some of the remnants of the Roman city wall of Barcelona (Muralla Romana), constructed largely in the 3rd century to ward off and protect from invaders.

4

Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic)

The whole of our tour is centred around the Gothic Quarter, the oldest part of the city of Barcelona. Its labyrinthine roads, many of which open out onto secluded squares, are now largely pedestrianised. It's an endlessly enchanting neighbourhood, and home to fantastic shops and, of course, some of the very best restaurants.

5

Placa de Sant Jaume

As we wander between restaurants we will pass through and comment briefly on some of the gorgeous streets and plazas, such as the Plaça de Sant Jaume and the Plaça Sant Just. (The exact route is determined but the mix of restaurants selected for that evening.)

6

El Born / La Ribera

While the focus of the tour is very much on the iconic Gothic Quarter, we often pass through a few corners of the other beautiful old parts of the Ciutat Vella (Old City): El Born and La Ribera.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
