This is a truly authentic tapas tour that takes you to parts of the city devoid of tourists, where you discover the locals’ go-to bars-- the perfect place to practice your Spanish (no English menus!), and taste the most delicious of tapas Barcelona has to offer. During this food & drink experience, I will show you a hidden and unexpected Barcelona, where we will walk and visit the bars of "El Clot" neighborhood, a 100% local community. You'll eat and drink at family-owned "bodegas" where grandpas and grandmas are still in charge of the kitchen, where they prepare all their tapas, and dishes you won't find in downtown. You'll taste a rich cuisine where local, fresh, and seasonal products pair well with traditional drinks. Expect the best homemade tapas, from artisanal cold cuts to fresh seafood. Come hungry & thirsty to indulge in our favorite drinks, from cava to vermouth. Get ready to connect to our culture, and experience the true Barcelona!

We loved discovering a neighborhood that is totally off the path and one never hears of, as most visitors stay around the city centre. Atair is such a positive guy with great energy and did a fabulous job making us feel welcome and excited like a crew visiting authentic local spots. Each had its own style and yummy tapas. Atair knows well the produce he serves and has a lovely relationship with the owners of every establishment. Loved the vermut ritual!
We had a great time with Atair on this walking tour. The food was plentiful and delicious. It was the perfect way to show a grup of foreign friends visiting the city about spanish tapas. He spent extra time explaining the food background and preparation to really understand its origin. We had fabulous drinks and great company. Would highly recommend to get out of the main city and having Atair show you how the real Barcelona people enjoy a casual night out.
We had an amazing time in this experience! We were able to see a local, authentic area with a guide and enjoyed great food and drinks. It's an experience we would recommend to anyone. Thank you!
This is a can’t miss tour - Altair is fantastic! He was very friendly, informative, flexible, and well-connected to the neighborhood. The food and wine were both incredible and we would never have found the spots he took us to. Highly recommend.
First time in Barcelona, amazing night to visit local bar and tapas and met new friends. Atair did a great job explaining local food and wine!! Highly recommended if you want to have a night out at the local neighborhood.
This tour was one of the highlights of the trip! The drinks and food were delicious. The owners of the bars/restaurants that we went to were so kind. The host was very fun!
This was a terrific tour. Atair is charming and fun, and speaks fluent idiomatic English. We chose this tour over some others because it was not in a touristy area, but rather focused on some places in a Barcelona neighborhood (El Clot) which were authentically "local". The places we visited with Atair were welcoming and friendly (a couple opened up specifically for us), the tapas was delicious, varied and abundant, and the wine very good. We had a private tour with a group of eight, and they easily accommodated the vegetarians in the group (though our veggies did eat fish). Overall, it was a memorable experience of food, wine, storytelling and good company; Atair was a delight as the guide. Highly recommended.
Atair made our day tour through Barcelona a memorable experience, we walked through every must-see spot plus some "off the beaten path" remarkable gems (including his restaurant picks) that made us feel like true locals. I highly recommend it!
