Eat your way through Barcelona: taste artichokes with jamón crumble, the legendary Bomba de Barceloneta, and Fideuà, Catalonia’s take on paella 🥘
Sip like a local: pour white wine from a porrón, enjoy a vermut cocktail, and toast with a glass of cava 🥂
Walk through Barcelona’s most iconic neighborhoods: from the medieval alleys of El Born to the seaside charm of Barceloneta.
See and meet local legends, like the bar with a resident seabird named Titi 🪿, and dine in restaurants that go back three generations.
Indulge in a special Catalan pastry, the perfect sweet note to finish on.
End the tour full, tipsy, and feeling like a true Barcelonés. Great food, great drinks, and great company always do the trick.
Tour Description
Barcelona’s food scene is as rich as its history, and this tour brings both to life. Explore the city’s historic Gothic Quarter, El Born, and the seaside beauty of Barceloneta while learning how Roman, Visigoth, Moorish, and Latin influences have shaped the vibrant Catalan cuisine we know today.
From crispy artichokes with jamón crumble to the indulgent Bomba de Barceloneta, this experience is all about discovering the soul of Barcelona through its flavors. Sip on vermut, cava, and white wine as you wander past medieval churches, ancient markets, historic waterfronts and even Picasso’s home.
If you love great food, history and a drink (or three), this tour was made for you.

"I was super luck to get to go on the trial of this tour. It had everything: classics I’d been recommended (pixtos & paella), new dishes I’d never heard of (ensimada was I think how it was spelled), a bit of Picasso and FC Barcelona, and plenty of drinks! Thank you Lindsay for an incredible tour and for showing us your city ❤️

Eating Europe in Barcelona Had a fabulous Eating Europe tour with Sky in Barcelona. Loved the Artichoke and the Vermouth was delicious. Sky was so friendly and had so much history to share with the group.

Our food tour with Lindsey was fantastic, a wonderful alternative to exploring the city on our own. It gave us the opportunity to experience both the incredible cuisine and fascinating history and culture of Barcelona all in a few hours. The sights were breathtaking, the restaurants and foods were unique and delicious, and the people of Barcelona were very welcoming and charming. We’d highly recommend this tour and can’t thank Lindsey enough for the wonderful evening!

Lindsay was an amazing knowledgeable guide. The food was amazing and was definitely the highlight of our trip!!! She even gave recommendations for restaurants outside of the tour. She documented the whole tour and sent it to the group in a what's app so that you weren't worried about taking pictures the whole time!

Great tour seeing the best bites of the city . Excellent tour with lots of local history along the way with great tapas and wines to try. I picked this tour as the tapas was a little different to what I’d tried before in Spain. Sky was a great guide with great knowledge of the city and very friendly .

Lindsay
Left my cold Canadian roots for Sunny Spain back in 2015 and lived happily ever after
My favourite Catalan dish has to be Calçots with Romesco sauce! Messy and fun, these seasonal spring onions are BBQed with friends and often eaten outside while sharing a Porron of wine!
If you find yourself in Barcelona on a weekend afternoon, the lush squares of the Gracia neighbourhood are the perfect spot to mingle with locals and expats on the terrace of a Vermuteria.
Sky
In 2018, I left the vibrant life of Colombia for the culture and energy of Spain, came for an MBA, stayed for the vida Catalana!
My favorite Catalan treat? Definitely bunyols, sweet anise-scented dough balls, best enjoyed with strong coffee, loud laughter, and good friends.
Grab your crew and hit Carrer de Blai at golden hour, where every bar overflows with colourful pinchos and the clink of cañas or wine seals the perfect evening.
