Full description
Join our food tour in Barcelona to explore the proudly Catalan district of Gràcia, during which we’ll visit the local market, an old school bodega, cozy traditional haunts and creative contemporary restaurants in search of the neighborhood’s soul. We will start with a traditional "fork breakfast" and eat our way through century-old establishments passed down for generations as well as a more modern store celebrating Spanish liquid gold, extra virgin olive oil.
We’ll sample artisanal cheeses and the finest Iberian ham. Per local custom, we’ll duck into a timeworn bar – a neighborhood institution – to have a sip of artisanal vermouth before lunch. But Gràcia is not just home to atmospheric old corner bars and church squares. Here we find creative chefs giving a contemporary spin on traditional Catalan dishes and smartly designed shops. In each place we visit, from the rustic to the refined, we’ll learn more about the Catalan kitchen and day-to-day Catalan life in its stronghold, Gràcia.
