The tour will start with a visit to a traditional tapas bar in the heart of Barcelona’s old town.

Next we’ll go for a stroll around the Barri Gotic, Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, a maze of narrow streets opening up onto quiet squares where you’ll see the locals go about their everyday lives. You’ll see Roman walls, mediaeval merchants’ palaces and some wonderful churches including Barcelona’s magnificent Gothic Cathedral. The tour ends with a live flamenco show.
