Details
Ideal for all the adventurous foodies, this tour will take you to discover the flavors of Barcelona. Immerse yourself in the Catalan cuisine by exploring local food markets such as Boqueria and Santa Caterina, visiting authentic centenary shops, learning about specific ingredients and culinary traditions, and tasting delicious samples, all accompanied by your experienced local guide. Markets are as old as the city. It is known that since the old Roman times when the colony of Barcino was founded we have had open door markets where the inhabitants bought their products. In the Middle Ages markets could be found on main squares and at the entrance of the villages. Through this tour you will be able to visit amazing markets, La Boqueria and Santa Caterina. Boqueria market, for instance, dates to 1217 when vendors were selling meat on Las Ramblas. However, most of the modern markets as you can see today have their origins in changes in the urbanism of the city such as the enlargement or the confiscation of religious properties in 1835. You will also have the opportunity to visit a great number of specialized businesses, some of the centenary ones that are still working. You will understand the power of fresh local products as well the meaning of the markets in society.
