Barcelona Tapas & Markets Tour by World Experience

Barcelona, the capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, is both a cultural jewel and a vibrant urban playground. World Experience invites travelers to dive into the city's rich flavors on their Barcelona Markets Tour with Tapas, a four-hour escorted journey led by a professional chef.

The market’s vivid colors and smells invigorate the senses, while intimate tastings introduce the authentic ingredients behind Catalan cuisine.

After immersing in La Boquería’s culinary bounty, the tour winds through the Gothic Quarter, a maze of narrow streets layered with centuries of history. Here, World Experience uncovers hidden tapas bars where locals savor traditional bites made from local, seasonal produce.
