Discover the charm of El Born, a neighborhood where Barcelona’s medieval heritage meets its modern spirit. Stroll through narrow stone streets, past elegant archways, artisan shops, and lively plazas that still echo the area’s history as a merchants’ and craftsmen’s quarter. Begin the evening in a local bar with a refreshing beer and a hands-on lesson in preparing tomato bread or sipping wine from a traditional porró.

Step inside the magnificent Santa Maria del Mar Basilica, a 14th-century Gothic masterpiece built by the city’s shipbuilders, before slipping through a hidden passageway to one of Barcelona’s best-kept dining secrets. Here, a curated tasting awaits: crispy calamari, savory fideuà, rich potato bites with Cabrales blue cheese, cannelloni, and the local favorite—black rice with squid.

For a sweet finale, indulge in Jon Cake’s world-famous cheesecake. Normally worth a 30-minute wait, this coveted dessert is served exclusively on your tour, making your El Born adventure a true insider’s experience.
