Guided tour #2: Markets and Tapas: sight-seeing and eating

Duration : 1 day
Level : easy Easy
Today we will learn about tapas, wines, Iberian ham, world-renowned Spanish cooks and products. Catalan cuisine is more than 2000 years old. There are restaurants that already existed in the eighteenth century, and the local people go to centennial stores that can be seen in famous international magazines. Let’s find out more!

We will go to La Boqueria Market, the best market in the world! (according to the World Market Congress in Washington, 2005). Here, we will find the basic ingredients of our cuisine: meat offal, fish, Spanish saffron... and we will understand how markets make up part of our daily lives.
Outside of the market we will visit stores that have become famous for their specialization: stores that sell only oil, convent sweets, wines from the Penedés or La Rioja, coffee, chocolateries, or roasting factories with more than 160 years of history. While we discover these places, we will also be able to taste some of their products (more details below).
At the same time we will taste and see the origin of the very peculiar ways of eating, such as the tapas or the pinchos.

Note: the Boqueria Market is closed on Sunday and on Monday many fish stops are closed.

* * * * RESERVATION AND CONDITIONS * * * *

The tour includes: tasting of Iberian ham of premium quality, different types of Spanish cheeses, 3 pinchos, wine, sweets, turrón from Agramunt, natural fruit juice, coffee, and sweets. We have designed the tour in order to avoid mixing sweet and salty foods.

Duration: 4 hours. Recommended starting time: 9:30 or 15:30 at your hotel- we will go by foot.

Total cost of the guide: 180€ + 16€ per person (for the food tasting)

This tour is exclusive for you. To reserve it send me an email. When your reservation is confirmed a deposit must be made of 30% of the total price and the rest will be paid in cash to the guide on the day of the visit.
