Embark on a 3-hour culinary journey through the city’s vintage yet lively performing arts neighborhood, visiting three distinct venues. Although Poble Sec is located in the heart of the city, it seems a world away from the tourist masses. The cuisine is remarkable, showcasing a creative take on several traditional dishes.
This is not a big historic…

Ronda de Sant Pau
IMPORTANT: Go to the "font farola" located in Poble Sec (there are others elsewhere in town)! We meet on the corner of Avinguda del Paral·lel & Ronda de Sant Pau. Here you will find one of the city's old "font farolas" - an old fountain/streetlamp, beside a hotel and ATM. Don't be late! : )

Informative, delicious and thoroughly enjoyable - Six of us joined Lorea for this tour, and it was not only the culinary highlight of the two weeks we spent in Spain, but also informative and enormously fun. Lorea, who is from Northern Spain, was thoughtful, generous, energetic and full of knowledge about Spanish history, culture and particularly food and drink. We went to three terrific tapas spots, all different from one another, in a less-touristed part of Barcelona. Every bite and sip was delicious. We felt well introduced to a variety of Spanish culinary traditions.

Fantastic food tour! Be sure to go on an empty stomach! - We wanted a tapas tour in Barcelona that was a little off the beaten path. So we signed up for the Poble Sec tapas tour and were not disappointed. Our guides (we had 2 because 1 was in training) were incredible. We were spoiled actually having 2 guides. The restaurants we went to were wonderful and we learned so much about Spanish food, culture and history. I highly recommend this tour operator and try to request Lorea or Sandra. We felt like we were hanging out with family rather than 2 lovely people we just met!

If you're a hungry, curious traveler, don't miss this. Ask for Lorea. - It was clear from the start that this tour had been well-planned and tested. The restaurants welcomed us warmly, the food in each of them was varied and delectable. (Ask about the barbecued pork with apple cream sauce -- Wow!) But most of all our guide, Lorea, was the best -- charming, considerate of each person, and well-informed. We learned not just about the neighborhood, the restaurants and the menus, but Catalan vs. Basque culture and the history of Barcelona. All in all, it was great fun! The best evening we spent in Barcelona!

No Better Way to Start Trip to Barcelona! - A group of friends went on the Barcelona Taste Food tours tapas tour of the Poble-Sec neighborhood on our first night in Barcelona, and it was fantastic! Our guide, Esther, was so knowledgeable and friendly that we couldn't imagine a better person to guide us through the different styles of tapas we were devouring or the city we were walking through. We've been in Spain for two weeks and have already had a lot of tapas, but the restaurants that Esther took us to let us experience tapas like locals. And the locals know what they're doing because they served us the best tapas we've had to date! We all declared that the Barcelona Taste Tapas tour and spending the evening with Esther was the perfect way to get to know the city on our first night here!

Amazing Tapas Tour with The Barcelona Taste - We absolutely loved our tapas tour! Tito was amazing, and our group was thrilled to dine at 3 small and wonderful tapas bars, the Poble Sec neighborhood. Getting to experience a neighborhood outside of the really touristy areas was a welcome treat. Each tapas bar brought a different flavor to their offerings. The food and wine were phenomenal at all three places. Tito was so warm, friendly & knowledgeable. We loved the small group size and have even kept in touch with the new friends we made on our tour. I'd highly recommend this tour for a lovely evening out in Barcelona!

Walking Tapas & Wine Tour a Highlight of our visit to Barcelona - Adria was an amazing tour guide and made our first night in Barcelona a highlight. He was very personable and provided interesting facts about the history, culture, and of course the wonderful local tapas and wine tastings along our walking exploration of the city.
