Things to Do in Barcelona

Bodega Barcelona Barrio Tradition in Bulk

Barcelona’s bodegas are more than wine shops or bars — they are neighborhood institutions where locals gather for a drink, a bite and conversation. On this tour, we’ll follow the city’s urban wine route through some of its most emblematic bodegas, markets and restaurants. We’ll begin near Mercat de Sant Antoni, exploring ingredients that define bodega culture, from charcuterie and olives to cured and fresh fish. From there, we’ll sip cava before heading into the Raval to visit traditional bodegas, tasting wines poured from the barrel, vermouth and classic tapas. Along the way, we’ll enjoy cured meats, salted fish, marinated seafood and hearty slow-cooked dishes that reflect Barcelona’s long tradition of preservation and urban cooking. We’ll finish with a curated tasting of essential Catalan wines — part long lunch, part happy hour and a deep dive into one of the city’s most enduring culinary traditions.
