Begin at the Boqueria Market, one of the top food markets in the world. As your guide leads you through the patterned walkways, you’ll learn about Catalan food traditions and even enjoy a tasting of nougat and olives.
Next, explore the scenic Ramblas promenade. Soak up the energy of this former market and snap a few photos of open-air cafes, and the unusual Miró mosaic.
In the Gothic Quarter, discover the Santa Caterina Market, the city's first covered market, with an undulating, colorful roof and ruins of a medieval monastery.
We’ll also stop by a caganer shop to hear the story of one of Catalonia’s strangest traditions. Then visit the church of Santa Maria del Mar and finally El Born Market, a striking building now housing the remains of the Born neighborhood.

Great experience
Perrine is a great tour guide - very knowledgeable, humorous, and full of energy. Really good vibes touring with her!
Operator response
Thank you for the fantastic review! We are so glad you loved exploring the markets with Perrine and enjoyed her great energy.
Markets run through. A basic into to see where the markets are but only in the st. Joseph market we had a few minutes to visit a few stalls with the guide and taste a couple items. Then 10 minutes to shop before racing through the streets to the next destinations. Perrine was very informative and easy to interact. On a hot 40° day, it's tough to keep her pace tho.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear that Perrine was informative and engaging throughout the tour. We understand that the heat and pace may have impacted your experience, and we truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us.
