• Plaça de Correus - Meet the guide at Pl. de Correus, 1, adjacent to Barcelona’s historic post office. Look for the yellow Carpe Diem Tours flag or sign. Arriving 10 minutes early is recommended for a smooth start, as the tour begins promptly and refunds are not available for late arrivals.
• Carrer Ample - The Gothic Quarter is the epicenter of Catalan cuisine and a must-visit for any food enthusiast. Start the culinary adventure at a family-operated tapas venue, sampling Spanish classics like croquettes, patatas bravas, and pimientos de Padrón, each expertly paired with a glass of local wine.
• Carrer de la Mercè - Operating since 1945, this family-owned bodega has perfected its craft over generations. With only four tapas on the menu, it embodies the simple, soulful nature of Spanish cuisine. Located just steps from the port, guests will dine like sailors of old—sharing cones of crispy boquerones, savoring traditional Catalan butifarra sausage, and sipping from a porrón alongside a glass of Spanish vermouth.

Due to seasonal holidays, weekend availability, and weather conditions, this spot may not be accessible, but additional food will be provided at another stop or this venue will be replaced.

• Baixada de Viladecols - Wander through the city’s oldest neighborhood, viewing former Roman walls and towers en route to the next food stop.
• Carrer dels Banys Vells - Next, head to the bohemian El Born, exploring narrow alleyways and browsing artisanal shops and art galleries.
• Carrer de Montcada - Uncover the history of tapas in the vibrant atmosphere of a classic pintxos bar, inspired by the Basque Country, and experience the tradition by selecting your own.
• Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar - Before departing El Born, pause to admire one of the city’s most breathtaking basilicas.
• Carrer d’Avinyó - Conclude with a grand finale: a savory paella, a glass of sparkling cava, and a classic Spanish dessert.
