Ariana gave us a historical overview of Catalan culture and food and took us places that were owned by people for many generations. Very authentic Barcelona experience including Cava and vermouth. All was delicious. Did involve a lot of walking through the Born and Barceloneta neighborhoods. Highly recommend!
