What's this trip about?

Welcome to Barcelona, the colorful, cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia. Imagine tapas day and night, regional wines poured for you everywhere you go, art and architecture, and fascinating Old World history—all combine to create an unforgettable culinary vacation. The fantastical Sagrada Família Church — a work in progress since the 1880s—and other modernist landmarks designed by renowned architect Antoni Gaudí dot the city, from the massive hilltop Parc Güell to whimsical apartment buildings. It’s the food, however, that is most bewitching. Barcelona reveals itself through its cuisine. Wind through Barcelona’s medieval past in the maze-like Gothic Quarter, and visit the lively Born Quarter nearby for its bohemian feel and artistic edge as well as trendy bistros and tapas bars. The culinary scene might be anchored by La Boqueria Market, but deliciousness is everywhere in this city, and it goes on all day and all night. Tasty aperitifs, long and large lunches, dinners at all hours of the night—there is so much to love about eating in Barcelona. The Catalan city and its surrounding areas have become a favorite of foodies across the world, and in recent years, a new wave of experimental chefs, such as Ferran Adria, have brought the region to the world's attention. But it’s Catalonia’s traditional cuisine—cured hams, the freshest seafood, rich cheeses, and regional wines—that will steal your heart and make your Barcelona food tour so memorable.
