Ultimate Barcelona Food Tour: Taste Barcelona’s Most Iconic Bites
Overview
Barcelona’s old town is packed with places to eat—but finding the right ones? That takes a local. Devour's Barcelona food tour cuts through the tourist menus to show you how Catalans really eat: from cava and sandwiches for breakfast at a neighborhood market bar to an authentic (not yellow!) seafood paella in a family-run tavern that’s been around since the 1950s. Along the way, you’ll walk the city’s most historic streets, meet the people keeping tradition alive, and taste the flavors that give Barcelona its soul. This is the food tour for travelers who want to go deeper—and leave full.
