What you'll see & do

  • Meet your local guide outside the iconic Gran Teatre del Liceu and leave the busy boulevard behind as you step into the hidden lanes of Barcelona's Old Town. Within minutes, you'll find yourself in a different world of medieval streets, local taverns, and neighbourhood stories that most visitors never get to experience.
  • Your evening begins the way many locals start a night out: at a beloved neighbourhood bar known for serving one of Barcelona's most iconic tapas, the famous bomba. Pair this local favourite with a refreshing beer as you settle into the city's relaxed social culture and discover why tapas are about far more than food—they're about bringing people together.
  • Wander through the atmospheric streets of the Gothic Quarter, where centuries of history unfold around every corner. As you stroll through hidden squares and narrow alleyways, your guide will share stories of daily life, local traditions, and the characters who have shaped this neighbourhood for generations. This is Barcelona beyond the guidebooks.
  • Walk through El Call, Barcelona's historic Jewish Quarter, and explore one of the city's most atmospheric neighborhoods. As you wander its narrow medieval streets, hear stories of the area's rich cultural heritage and discover how centuries of history continue to shape modern-day Barcelona. Along the way, visit a selection of beloved local bars and bodegas, from historic taverns to family-run establishments, where traditional Catalan hospitality takes center stage. Enjoy authentic tapas made with high-quality seasonal ingredients and prepared using traditional recipes. Tastings may include Barcelona's famous bomba croquette, Catalan cold cuts, pa amb tomàquet, homemade croquettes, patatas bravas, Padrón peppers, sausage in cider sauce, and other regional specialties, complemented by premium Catalan wines, including selections from the acclaimed Priorat wine region, as well as local beer.
  • As the evening unfolds, pass through some of the Old Town's most beautiful corners, where Gothic architecture, hidden plazas, and artistic surprises tell the story of Barcelona's rich cultural heritage. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to a traditional local sweet—a small but memorable taste of the city's culinary traditions and a perfect pause before the final stop
  • End your evening at a historic vermouth cellar, one of the city's most beloved social institutions. Sip a glass of traditional vermouth and enjoy a final local bite as you soak up the atmosphere and reflect on an evening spent eating, drinking, and exploring Barcelona the way locals do.
