Devour Barcelona : Local Food Tour of Gracia Neighborhood

Located just a short distance from the bustling city center of Barcelona, Gracia is the perfect place to experience authentic Catalan culture and cuisine. Once an independent village, it has managed to maintain its traditional roots even after being absorbed by the city’s urban expansion. On this food tour, you’ll explore hole-in-the-wall restaurants that offer home-cooked classics and visit beloved local bodegas for a taste of Catalonia that’s hard to come by elsewhere in the modern city.

The first stop on your Gracia food tour is a traditional bodega that’s been a staple of the local community since 1939. You’ll be transported to a bygone era of Barcelona from the moment you step through its doors. Enjoy classic Catalan dishes, sip a glass of vermouth and learn about the unique way of drinking wine in Catalonia

After gaining an understanding of the neighborhood’s history, we’ll visit a small bakery that represents the fascinating blend of cultures within Gracia. Mustafa’s Syrian pastry shop is a cherished local establishment for good reason—the smell of freshly baked goods will make your mouth water as soon as you step through the door. Sink your teeth into a decadent homemade pastry as your guide explains the influence of Arab culture on desserts in Spain.

rom there, it’s off to a deli that specializes in Spain’s most renowned delicacy: cured ham. Watch and learn as a master carver slices it in front of you, and even try cutting a slice for yourself. Savor a variety of charcuterie and Catalan cheeses while sipping a refreshing glass of cava, which you’ll soon learn has some notable differences with its well-known French counterpart, champagne. Afterwards, you’ll follow your guide to the site of the old market and learn about the neighborhood’s historic past.

Next, it’s time to settle in for a delicious homemade lunch. Head a restaurant specializing in Valencian and Catalan food. Learn about the similarities and differences between these two regional cuisines, while you enjoy two typical dishes with a glass of red or white wine.

To wrap up, you’ll head to a humble takeaway shop proudly serving the neighborhood for over 65 years. Try the beloved Catalan-style hot chocolate along with a homemade sweet treat that’s perfect for dipping.
