Barcelona Cathedral

Located at the heart of the Gothic Quarter, the Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that took six centuries to complete. While its facade is famously ornate and neo-Gothic, the interior is a cavernous space of high vaulted ceilings and stunning 14th-century stained glass. Its most charming secret is the secluded cloister, home to thirteen white geese, a living tribute to Saint Eulàlia, the city’s co-patron saint, who was martyred at the age of thirteen. A great monument to visit on your trip to Barcelona and a nice way to start your food tour !

El Born

Once the site of medieval jousting matches, El Born has evolved into Barcelona’s most effortlessly cool neighborhood, where ancient stone walls meet high-end fashion and artisan boutiques. It is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets centered around the magnificent Santa Maria del Mar basilica, a pure example of Catalan Gothic style. By day, it’s a cultural hub featuring the Picasso Museum; by night, it transforms into a vibrant social scene filled with some of the city’s most inventive tapas bars and "speakeasy" cocktail lounges. It only makes sense to take you around this neighbourhood for our food tour
