There's tapas. And then there's tapas. If you’re new to the city, finding the REAL thing can be tricky.
Join us on a journey of discovery, both culinary and cultural, as we take you through the back streets and hidden passages of Barcelona to find real, genuine, local tapas bars where real, genuine locals like to hang out. From traditional to innovative, and from pintxos to pica-pica, we know where the city hides its best.
So come hungry, come thirsty and join us to savour the flavours of Barcelona, one bite at a time.
The Barcelona Tapas Tour is for people with a genuine interest in food and an open mind when it comes to new flavours and ideas. Your guide is a local who will tell you about the history of the restaurants, the area and the origin of the dishes you’re eating. There will be a maximum of 6 people on the tour, an intimate group, so it’s like going on a tapas crawl with a bunch of amigos.

What’s Included?
This is an all inclusive tapas tour which takes you to 3 venues. At each bar we will have a drink and share some plates of food, some classic local dishes, and of course local drink to go with it - don’t worry, you won’t leave hungry (or thirsty). It’s a short walk between bars. And we take our time. Tapas, by definition, is not to be rushed. Our tour is as much about ambience as it is about food, as the spirit of Barcelona resides in these humble tapas bars.
Meeting Point
The Tapas Tour meets outside the entrance to Casa Fuster. The closest metro station is Diagonal (L5) and (L3).

“I enjoyed everything about this tapas tour. The food we ate felt very authentic and the tapas bars we visited had a great local atmosphere. Don’t think I would have tried these places if it weren’t for being on this tour.”

“We wanted authentic. And we got authentic. No tourists in the places we went. Great atmosphere and tapas with a difference. Paula, the guide, knew everything. Would love to do it again!”

Tapar (verb) – to cover. Tapa (noun) - lid / cover. Tapas (cuisine) – nice
The origin of the term tapas goes back a few hundred years to a Spanish King who was so dismayed by the level of public drunkenness, he decreed that all alcohol must be served with food. From then on, a glass of wine was served with a slice of bread placed over the top of the glass like a lid – ie. a tapa. Over the years, the tapas became more sophisticated and more varied until, today, it is possibly the most popular form of eating in Spain.
