Barcelona Gothic Quarter Small-Group VIP Tapas and Wine Tour

Hidden on a quiet corner of El Born, this peaceful 12th-century Romanesque square houses the ancient Capella d’en Marcús, a little sanctuary once linked to pilgrims and medieval postal riders.

Warm, family-run restaurant where traditional Spanish cooking meets creative flair. Here you'll sample some of the following tastings: eggplant with honey, pork cheek, pork meatballs with cuttlefish, padrón peppers, cannelloni with pork sausage, or burrata cheese , along with a glass of vermouth.

Step into a buzzing El Born tapas bar built around an open fire grill and a list of 180+ wines. Share plates fresh off the flames, like Iberian pork shoulder grilled over rosemary wood, croquetas topped with melting Jamón Ibérico or others, with a glass of Spanish red.

While the focus of the tour is very much on the iconic Gothic Quarter, we often pass through a few corners of the other beautiful old parts of the Ciutat Vella (Old City): El Born and La Ribera.

We will pass through some gorgeous streets and plazas, such as Plaça Sant Jaume, the historic and political heart of Barcelona, where the Roman forum once was. Now home to Catalonia’s main institutions, it’s the perfect spot to discover local politics, flags, and the tradition of human towers, called castells.

Historic Jewish Quarter, a labyrinth of narrow medieval alleys, ancient stone buildings, and hidden courtyards. Once the city’s Jewish heart, today it invites you to explore centuries of history and heritage.

Finish with a tasting of a classic Catalan dessert: a fig ice cream, a crema catalana, or a chestnut pie, paired with fine Cava, a Spanish sparkling wine, in a charming wine cellar tucked into Barcelona’s historic Jewish Quarter.

A hauntingly beautiful square in the Gothic Quarter with Baroque architecture and visible scars from Barcelona’s past, offering a quiet, reflective moment steeped in history.
