Private Tapas & Pintxos Tasting – Tour

Book Now
Explore the rich and delicious world of Spanish tapas and pintxos with us, during this tour of some of Barcelona’s very best bars and bodegas. For those of you unfamiliar with the term “tapas”, the word refers to the small size of the dishes that the locals order to share, whilst “pintxos” are even smaller snacks plucked straight from the counter of  specialist bars, much loved by Barcelona residents.

Just like the locals, you’ll be enjoying these mouthwatering morsels miles away from the tourist traps around Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter, in the trendy yet still traditional districts of Sant Antoni and Poble Sec.

Eating tapas is meant to be fun and informal, and in the company of our local food expert you’ll visit a total of three independent venues which we have handpicked (as we absolutely love them!) and sample some of the specialties of the house at each. We’ll help select for you a mix of “must try” classics like the simple spicy bombas, tasty pimientos de padron fried in salt and olive oil, Catalan butifarra sausage with marmalade sauce, Galician oysters and patatas with fried egg and morcilla (blood pudding), as well as more modern offerings – after all Barcelona’s food scene is constantly evolving!

For drinks we’ll enjoy homemade vermouth (which is currently very en vogue in Catalonia), or choose from a tempting array of local wines on offer; and of course if you prefer a local or craft beer that’s no problem at all. For those who love bubbly they’ll be a chance to try a glass of the region’s famous Cava wine, a sparkling white made using the Champagne method (and every bit as good as its French cousin).

Hopping between these authentic venues will also give us a chance to sample the atmosphere of some of Barcelona’s hippest districts, while you learn about the city via its deservedly-famous gastronomic delights.
