Tapas are the most fun way to eat in Spain: small samples of a variety of dishes to share: meat, fish and seafood, vegetables, sausages and ham, egg, cheese... fried, grilled, sautée, fresh... spicy or not... traditional or fancy...
In this tour I'll take you hopping from tapas bar to tapas bar in the Old Town the way Spaniards do. We'll discover how different regions of Spain prepare them, we'll try different specialities and local products, experiencing from the shabbiest taberns, to the traditional bars to the trendiest design venues. An itinerary conceived to show you the great variety of the Tapas World, and a wonderful approach to the creativity of the Spanish cooking!
WALKING TOUR (no transportation included, but... never more than 5 minutes walk from bar to bar!)
Fee includes my guiding around the Old Town alleys, translating and assisting you in the bars, and of course recomending the specialities of each place that you are likely to enjoy the most!
Fee does not include food/drinks. Unfortunately, if I included a fee, that would spoil the fun of improvising and a closed budget would limit our choices. Not including the food/drink gives you complete freedom to decide what you'd like to try, what kind of drinks you'd like to have (from a local beer or a coke to the finest wine glass!)... To me your satisfaction and your freedom to decide are the most important things!
Since we need to adapt to the bars opening hours, the tour MUST be run in the following schedule:
- LUNCH TOUR: noon to 4pm.
- DINNER TOUR: 8pm to midnight.
Note: the bars included in the itinerary may vary depending on the venues holydays and opening hours.
NOTE: Fees valid for 2011.

Special Tapas Tours for the Jamie Magazine journalists
Paul Dring, journalist, and William Meppem, photographer, came to Barcelona to prepare a story for the brand new Jamie Magazine, by the famous British chef Jamie Oliver.
I gave them 4 different Tapas Tours where we discovered all kind of venues and specialties in different areas:
On our first tour we explored the Tapas Bars of the Eixample district (around Passeig de Gràcia and Rambla Catalunya). The next day during lunch time we did the areas of Poblesec, Raval and Barceloneta, and for dinner we went to my favorite area: the Born section. Finally, on the morning of the last day we did the bars of the Boqueria Market and some other places in the Gothic Quarter.
By the end of their stay we were so full we couldn't eat anything else! And Paul and William had plenty of material for a great story. But we still felt we would had needed at least another 4 extra hours to cover a few more places (less centric, more out-of-the-beaten-track) that we couldn't fit in our itineraries...
Can't wait to see the next issue of the Magazine, where their story will be published. That'll be by the end of April or beggining of May. I'll keep you posted!
I'd just like to say that Marta did a great job. She was charming, knowledgeable, indefatigable and, most importantly, full of enthusiasm for what we were trying to achieve. I'd recommend her to anyone else unhesitatingly. Paul Dring, Jamie Magazine.

Mona and Lee from Seattle were visiting Barcelona and wanted to do something special one evening. Since they are foodies, my Tapas Tour was their choice!
We had a great time hopping from bar to bar in the Born section, and I also gave them lots of good tips for the rest of their stay in town!

This year my Tapas Tours are becoming everyone's favorite!
Tapas are these famous way to eat in Spain: small portions (appetizer-like) to share with friends and family and have fun!
In my tapas tours I take you around the Old Town jumping from bar to bar discovering the food of different regions of Spain (basque, galician, catalan...), different products (sausages, egg, vegetables, fish and seafood, wine, bread...) and different styles (from the shabby taberns to fancy design tapas bars). A yummy way to discover the local lifestyle!
Las tapas son la forma más divertida de comer en España: pequeñas porciones de platos para compartir: carne, pescado y marisco, verdura y hortalizas, embutidos y jamón, huevo, queso... frito, a la parrilla, salteado, fresco... picante o no... tradicional o moderno...
En este tour os llevaré a de bar en bar por el Casco Viejo como se hace en España. Descubriremos como son las tapas de diferentes regiones, probaremos especialidades y productos locales variados, y entraremos tanto en tabernas destartaladas, como en bares tradicionales y locales de diseño. ¡Un itinerario concebido para mostraros la gran variedad que ofrece el mundo de las tapas, y una forma magnífica de acercarse a la creatividad de la cocina española!
ACTIVIDAD A PIE (no se incluye transporte pero... nunca caminaremos más de 5 minutos entre bar y bar)
El precio incluye mi acompañamiento a través de las callejuelas del Casco Viejo, la asistencia y traducción (si fuera necesaria) en los bares, y por supuesto ¡mis recomendaciones de las especialidades de cada lugar que os puedan gustar más!
El precio no incluye comida ni bebida. Por desgracia, si lo incluyera en el precio se echaría a perder lo mejor de salir de tapas: la improvisación, y además un presupuesto cerrado limitaría nuestras opciones a la hora de escoger. Al no incluir la comida ni la bebida, os ofrezco completa libertad para decidir lo que quereis probar, qué tipo de bebidas quereis beber (desde una cerveza local o una cola, hasta la copa del vino más caro)... Para mi, vuestra satisfacción y vuestra libertad de elección son lo más importante.
Debido a la necesidad de adaptarnos a las horas de apertura de los bares, este tour DEBE realizarse dentro de los siguientes horarios:
- MEDIODIA: de 12 a 16h.
- NOCHE: de 20 a 24h.
Nota: los bares incluidos en el recorrido pueden variar según los días de cierre y las vacaciones de los locales.
NOTA: Precios válidos durante 2011.
Le Tapas sono la forma più divertente di mangiare a Spagna: una varietà di piatti piccoli per condividere: carne, pesce e frutti di mare, legumi, salsicce e prosciutto, uova, fromaggio... fritto, alla griglia, rosolato, fresco... picante o no... tradizionale oppure moderno...
In questo giro vi porterò di bare in bare per la Città Vecchia come fanno gli spagnoli. Scopriremo come ogni reggione prepara le sue tapas di un modo diverso, assagiaremo diverse specialità e prodotti locali, andremo nelle taberne scure, ai bari tradizionali ed anche ai posti di moda. Un percorso disegnato per mostrarvi la grande varietà del mondo delle Tapas, e una forma meraviglosa di conoscere la cucina spagnola!
GIRO A PIEDE (transporto non compreso, però... sempre meno di 5 minuti fra bare e bare!)
Il prezzo include il mio servizio di scorta e guida per le stradine della Città Vecchia, la traduzione ed assistenza nei bari, e naturalmente le mie raccomandazioni sulle specialità di ogni posto che vi piaccerano di più!
Il prezzo non comprende cibo/bevande. Purtroppo, se fossero comprese ci mancherebbe la cosa migliore di andare di Tapas: l'improvisazione, e con un prezzo chiuso le nostre opzione sarebbero limitate. Allora preferisco non includerle sul prezzo per darvi la libertà di scegliere cosa volete assagiare, cosa volete bere (dalla birra locale o la coca, al vino più caro)... Per me, la vostra sodisfazione e libertà di scelta sono le cose le più importanti!
Per adattarci agli orari dei bari, questo giro DEVE farsi entro il seguente orario:
- PRANZO: dalle 12 alle 16 ore.
- CENA: dalle 20 alle 24 ore.
Nota: i bari que si visitano in questo giro possono variare secondo agli orari e alle vacanze di ogni stabilimento.
NOTA: Prezzi validi durante 2011.
Les Tapas sont la façon plus gaie de manger en Espagne: des petits plats variés à partager. De la viande, du poisson et des fruits de mer, des légumes, des saucisses et du jambon, des oeufs, du fromage... frit, grillé, sauté, frais... picquant ou pas... traditionel ou moderne...
Dans ce tour je vous emmenerais de bar en bar par la Vielle Ville comme les espagnols aiment de faire. On découvrira ensemble comment on prépare les tapas dans les différentes régions de l'Espagne, on goutera des spécialités et des produits locaux, on visitera aussi des tabernes poussiéreuses, que des bar traditionels et des endroits à la mode. Un itinéraire conçu pour vous montrer la grande varieté du passionant monde des Tapas, et une façon fantastique de s'approcher à la cuisine espagnole!
TOUR À PIED (transport non compris, mais... jamais plus de 5 minutes entre bar et bar!)
Le prix comprend mon guidage à travers des allées de la Vielle Ville, la traduction et assistance aux bars, et biensûr mes reccomendations sur les spécialités de chaque bar que vous aimairez le mieux!
Le prix ne comprend pas nourriture/boissons. Malheuresement, si c'était compris on gâcherait l'une des meilleures choses de 'sortir de tapas': l'improvisation! Et un prix fermé limiterait nos choix. Non comprenant la nourriture ni les boissons je vous offre complète liberté pour décider ce que vous voulez gouter et choisir ce que vous voulez voir (de la bière locale et la coca au vin le plus sélecte)... Pour moi, votre satisfaction et liberté de choix c'est le plus important!
Afin de s'adapter aux horaires des bars, ce tour DOIT avoir lieu entre les heures suivantes:
- MIDI: de midi à 16 heures.

Les Tapes són una de les formes més divertides de menjar: petites quantitats de plats diferents per compartir. Carn, peix i marisc, verdura i hortalisses, embotits i pernil, ous, formatge... fregits, a la graella, saltejats o frescos... picants o no... traditionals o moderns...
Encara que els catalans som més de seure en un local i no moure'ns d'allà, també és divertit anar de bar en bar com es fa a la resta de l'Estat, i això és el què farem en aquest tour. Us proposo descobrir les tapes de diferents regions, tastar diferents productes i especialitats, i experimentar l'atmosfera de tota mena d'establiments, des de les tabernes sòrdides, passant pels bars de tota la vida, fins als locals de disseny més moderns. Un itinerari concebut per mostrar-vos l'enorme varietat existent dins del món de les tapes, i una forma molt apetitosa d'apropar-nos a la creativitat de la cuina local!
RECORREGUT A PEU (no s'inclou transport, però... mai farem més de cinc minuts a peu de bar a bar!)
El preu inclou el meu guiatge pels carrerons de la Ciutat Vella, l'assistència i traducció als bars si fos necessària, i per descomtat les meves recomanacions sobre les especialitats de cada lloc que us poden agradar més!
El preu no inclou menjar ni beguda. Per desgràcia, si s'inclogués ens perdríem una de les millors coses d'anar de tapes: la improvisació! I un preu fix limitaria les nostres opcions. En no incloure menjar ni beguda, conserveu total llibertat per decidir què voleu menjar i què preferiu beure (des d'una cervesa o refresc, fins al vi més car)... Per a mi, la vostra satisfacció i llibertat d'elecció és el més important!
Per tal d'adaptar-nos als horaris d'obertura dels locals, aquest recorregut CAL dur-lo a terme dins de les hores següents:
