Whether it’s enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with tapas or dessert, Cava is celebration in every bubble. 🥂🥂🥂

Spanish cuisine is a tapestry of vibrant flavours, and much of that comes down to the spices. The most common spices you’ll find in tapas include pimentón (paprika) for that smoky richness, saffron lending its golden hue and floral notes to rice dishes, garlic for a punch of aroma, and cumin to add an earthy warmth. You'll notice how they make even the simplest dishes like patatas bravas or gambas al ajillo truly special.

At The Barcelona Taste, we don’t rush. We believe that food is best enjoyed slowly, in good company. Our tours are small and intimate — sometimes it might just be you and your guide. We sit down at family-owned restaurants, we don’t push through crowded markets or rush to the next stop. Instead, we savour, we chat, and we build real connections to Barcelona's food, people, and culture.
