What will you find?

After meeting your guide in central Barcelona, near Palau de la Musica, take a leisurely stroll to Eixample to discover a tapas gem, one of Barcelona’s Modernist-style bars. The bar serves up delicious small plates of Catalan favorites such as pa amb tomàquet (bread with olive oil and tomatoes) and patates braves (potatoes with oil, red pepper and chili, served with aioli). Watch the chef prepare the food, and then sit down to savor a plate and a drink while hearing tales about Catalan cuisine.

Walk off your snack with a stroll to Born, listening to your guide talking about Barcelona’s history, food and culture as you go. Your destination is the neighborhood's locally loved ham shop, where huge legs of serrano ham hang in the windows. Head inside and sample some of the best meats, made from acorn-fed pigs, and sample popular cheeses such as Manchego.

Continuing your stroll through Born, pass Barcelona Cathedral (Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia) and the old Roman city walls, and then wind your way to the heart of the Gothic Quarter to Plaça Reial, a bustling nighttime square near La Rambla, where the highlight of your evening awaits -- a flamenco performance inside one of the oldest flamenco bars in Barcelona!

Sip a welcome glass of cava while soaking up the authentic atmosphere. Then, grab your seat and enjoy the show, which includes all the traditional elements of a flamenco performance, including dancing, singing and Spanish guitar songs. Sip on sangria and dine on plates of gourmet tapas as dancers perform their fiery Spanish flamenco moves right in front of you.

Your evening experience finishes after the show, but you're welcome to head to the roof terrace or visit the stylish bar for drinks at your own expense, if you wish.

This was our first tour in Barcelona. A great intro ;. We literally ate our way around the gothic area. The Sangria was delicious , Each tapas bar unique in it's offerings. I loved the flamingo dancing. It was not the formal dance that I had always seen performed in the states, but, it was rustic and very emotional. We sat so close to the dancers that you felt a part of it. Our tour guide ,was very personable , knowledgeable, and interesting. We had a great time.

Our guide, Nil was excellent. Tour consisted of two stops for refreshments before proceeding to the Flamenco Show. We stopped first at Casa Alfonso for gourmet tapas and local red wine. Then we walked to Ocana for gourmet local meats and fried artichokes, peppers and meatballs in squid sauce and, of course, house red wine. Fully satiated, we walked to Tarantos, located in Plaza Reial for a wonderful show. The performers were, indeed, expert in their delivery of this fast moving dance. It was a wonderful tour.
