Alex was a very knowledgeable guide, sharing lots of Barcelona history between 3 tapas and drinks stops. All three tapas locations were buried in the Gothic quarter, their small spaces filled with locals. The last stop the food was so filling I barely touched the dessert, and definitely did not want to eat again the rest of the day. We enjoyed hearing the history of the establishments and the concept of tapas in Barcelona.

Feliciano did an absolute amazing job! Although we had down our own research and consider ourselves big history nerds, he taught us things we didnt even know! It was incredible and the food was very authentic as well as delicious.

For our last meal in Barcelona we scheduled a special treatDevours Tapas, Taverns & History foodie tourand it did not disappoint! Our guide, Alex, was superb. She led us through the Gothic Quarterthree food stops with history and culture intermingled. Each stop contained multiple delicacies and drinks. Who knew vermouth could be that good? And fried anchovies? Have you drunk from a porron? You will on this trip! Every stop was a culinary adventure. This tour must be on your Bacelona bucket listyou wont regret it!!
