4. Barcelona Sweet Walking Tour
Regular
Did you know that Barcelona has
a chocolate tradition that started
in 1772? Spanish people are
sweet lovers and this is why we
have a great range of sweets,
chocolates, pastries and desserts
that we can have any time during
the day, either with a cup of
coffee or tea, a sweet wine or just
by themselves.
Our informative and food
connoisseur guide will lead you
through this luscious and delicious
walking tour that will leave no one indifferent. Are you ready to taste the experience?
The tour starts in a monastic pastry and sweet shop where we will be told how it all began: the
Monasteries.
Monks and nuns elaborated in the past homemade delicacies that have been brought to us
nowadays. In Spain there are still several monasteries that keep elaborating these outstanding
pieces of heaven that we will be able to taste paired with a small glass of a special wine used in
the religious service.
Off we go to the Gothic Quarter, strolling along the narrow and magic streets where the
chocolate guild was located a few centuries ago. Here we can feel the sweetest scents of the
city and a special blend of aromas will make you to crave for chocolate and delicious goodies.
Your wish is granted!
We will need to keep walking after our second fault… and two more stops and exquisite
