This tour blends wonderful food, lovely architecture, and Barcelona’s legendary nightlife all so that you can say you’ve actually lived the city.
Day 1 – Gothic Quarter Magic & Tapas Walk
Morning –

Lunch –
La Boqueria Market, off Las Ramblas. Fresh seafood, cheeses, and a variety of Iberian ham are on sale. El Quim de la Boqueria is pressed for space. Order sizzling baby squid with fried eggs.
Afternoon –
Walk in the direction of the El Born district, which is replete with artisanal stores and wine bars. Tour the Picasso Museum to view the artist’s early works.
Evening –
Go bar-hopping for tapas: explore Bar del Pla for their anchovies and vermouth, followed by Tapeo for melt-in-your-mouth oxtail. Finish at Bormuth for patatas bravas and an uncomplicated drink.
Nightlife option –
Begin Barcelona nightlife with cocktails at Dr. Stravinsky, renowned for innovative mixology.
