About this activity

Your visit will begin on the popular Las Ramblas (but long before the tourist crowds have arrived for the day) before heading off with your local guide into the early morning action inside the famous Boqueria Market.

Enjoy a coffee at one of the market's most famous and iconic food vendors as your guide lets you in to the secrets of the history and culture of the markets, and how locals in Barcelona typically eat breakfast. And speaking of breakfast, next up you'll head just outside of the market to devour a delicious breakfast at a nearby breakfast café called a 'granja' -- this one has been open since 1870 and has a fascinating history!

Next up, it'll be time to get back into the action of the bustling market to visit a selection of different market vendors and learn about (and taste!) some of the products that make Catalonia and Spain's cuisine so wonderful. From locally produced cheeses, to cured meats (and of course, the famous acorn fed Iberian ham!), olives, fruit, and more, you will get to sample the best that the Boqueria Market has to offer.

When you've finished exploring the iconic market with your local guide, they will make sure you have plenty of suggestions of how to spend the rest of your day in Barcelona, as well as a printed guide to a selection of the best bars and restaurants in Barcelona, handpicked by our local team.
