The itinerary

Your gastronomic journey begins with a tasting in a historical, surprising and iconic market in the old town, where the freshest local produce, and regional specialties are artfully displayed from one stall to the next. You will learn how to select the best produce as you meet the local food merchants and taste some of the savory treats of this trendy market scene! You’ll continue for a tasting of some traditional fresh home-made croquetas, a small breadcrumbed fried food roll, one of the most typical tapas dishes.

You’ll partake in a picturesque meandering throughout the Born and the Gòtic areas of Barcelona passing some of the most beautiful and historical landmarks of the city, to find yourself tasting some mouth-watering cheese and cured meats combined with local wine or vermouth in a family owned time-capsule of a shop.

If you’re ready to keep going, we’d like to take you for desert to the heavenliest of tea-rooms, tucked away in the heart of the Gothic city, to taste the exquisite traditional sweet treats made by the nuns of convents and monasteries across the country.

Dive taste buds-first into the pleasures of Catalan gastronomy and get a taste of the good life the country is famous for!

Jordana has been an excellent guide. She took us to places where we tried fantastic local products. Very good food and drinks. The history of the neighborhood, walking through the Born was very pleasant and we have enjoyed her company and his sense of humor. The experience is highly recommended.

Nice experience in Barcelona with Localers! A very good opportunity to discover the central gothic quarter while tasting some Spanish delicacies. Our guide Jordana was knowledgeable about the city's history & culture but also the good spots to explore during our stay in the city that we couldn't have found without her!

We really enjoyed our Born food tour. Jordana is a great and enthusiastic guide. She introduced us to Catalan traditions and eating habits.
We tasted many delicious specialities, both savoury and sweet. Olives, ham, cheese, patatas bavas and more. Not to mention the traditional hot chocolate. I highly recommend this tour for all history and gastronomy lovers!

Four seniors took part in this tour with Jordana, while the younger ones were simultaneously on a street art tour. They could not stop raving about the food they tasted, shops and establishments they visited and all of the interesting facts about food history and Spanish history Jordana shared with them. They were so thankful that Jordana showed them places they would have likely never known about or ever stopped into without her. Jordana also was flexible enough to reschedule the tour when an emergency forced us to cancel our original date. She and everyone at Localers were so patient and attentive to our needs and wishes. We were very taken care of and are still so appreciative of what Jordana and all that the guides shared with us. We will never forget this experience. thanks!
