- Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) - At your final stop, enjoy a sit-down meal at a local establishment dating back to the early 20th century. Savor a classic selection of Catalan dishes like croquettes and cannelloni paired with local wine, and finish with a delicious traditional dessert.

Great way to eat and drink through the midday in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. - 3 unique restaurants/cafes with different menus and beverages served to us. All were high quality. Add to that our outstanding guide, Luke. He spoke fluent English and had an in-depth knowledge of the history of, architecture, and art of the Gothic Quarter. I highly recommend.

Delicious, educational and illuminating - Felissimo (sorry if i got the name wrong) was an amazing tour guide. We had lots of fun and great food. The history portion of the tour was just as great as the food, and I really learned a lot about the local architecture and history. I believe the food was a great representation of tapas culture in Barcelona. 5 stars for the overall experience.
