El Born Bites: Local Food and Wine Tasting Tour in Barcelona

-What you can expect-
Explore the magic of El Born, a neighbourhood where Barcelona’s past and present intertwine. Wander through its narrow medieval streets, pass elegant archways and artisan boutiques, discover little squares where locals gather. The area’s history as a merchants’ and craftsmen’s quarter is still alive in its vibrant atmosphere.

Start in a local bar with a refreshing beer and learn how to prepare tomato bread or drink wine from a “porro”. Continue to the Santa Maria del Mar Basilica and be impressed by the grandeur of one of Barcelona’s most beloved Gothic landmarks. This 14th-century church, built by the city's medieval merchants and shipbuilders, remains a symbol of El Born’s enduring spirit.

Next, slip through a discreet passageway to uncover one of the city’s best-kept dining secrets. Experience a curated tasting of calamari, followed by a popular local dish: fideua. Learn why it's a must-try! Your evening continues with a journey through flavours that define Spanish cuisine. Enjoy a potato bite with a twist of Cabrales blue cheese and cannelloni. Don’t miss the local favourite: the black rice with squid, a delicious alternative to the traditional paella.

For the grand finale, savour Jon Cake’s famous cheesecake, one of Barcelona’s most sought-after desserts. While locals and fans often wait over 30 minutes in line to taste it, on our tour, it's served exclusively as part of your dining experience, with no waiting required.
