Barcelona food tours and evenings

Tapas walks through the Gothic quarter and El Born, market tours, paella classes and the flamenco tablaos. What to book for the first evening.

12 bookable places, 54,352 reviews. Nearest is 3 min from the centre by car, farthest 11 min. From €25; the most booked is Barcelona: Flamenco Show at the Theater "City Hall" with 12,375 reviews.

A tapas walk is the fastest way to learn the difference between Catalan food and the tapas of the south, and to eat well on the first evening without choosing. The walks stay in El Born and the Gothic quarter and take three hours. The cooking classes start at the Boqueria market and end with a paella you made, which is a better souvenir than the fridge magnet.

Flamenco is Andalusian, not Catalan, and the tablaos in Barcelona know it; the good ones bring the dancers from the south and the shows are the real thing. They start at nine or later, so eat first or take the dinner version. Three are marked as likely to sell out, so book the day before.
