Some of our recommended tapas tours in Barcelona
Barcelona is famous for its nightlife. Part of it includes tasty tapas. Many districts in the city have changed in recent years thanks to the development of tourism. Old bars and newcomers offer a colourful and rich variety of options where tapas can be enjoyed. But many remain potential tourist traps. A tapas tour is safe bet to ensure you taste the best of Barcelona with a local guide.
Barcelona has a rich culinary tradition and you will be able to enjoy some tapas that are not unique, but at least most typical from Barcelona. This is just a list of some of the most traditional tapas in Barcelona
Pan con tomate (Pa amb tomàquet)
No matter where you go in Barcelona, Pan con tomate will be present. This is a very simple yet delicious food. It consists of quality bread that has been toasted and then rubbed with ripe tomatoes and seasoned with olive oil. Pan con tomate is used as a base for many different tapas dishes and for food in general.
Butifarra
This is a type of sausage that is usually served grilled by itself as a tapas dish though you can also find it in many different stews
Calçots
Catalans are so proud of these onions that many people wonder why they become so expensive. Calçots are only available a few weeks every year and when served with romesco sauce they are truly tasty
Escudella i Carn d’Olla
This is a traditional and famous winter stew. Sometimes it is served in Barcelona in small pots as a tapa.
Seafood stuffed peppers
Piquillo-style peppers are served with a tasty and creamy sauce and stuffed with seafood. One of our favorite tapas options in Barcelona.
One of the stars in the tapas landscape in Barcelona is the so-called “bomba” Bombas are deep-fried potato balls stuffed with all sorts of different ingredients. You will find all sorts of different stuffing for the bombas and you should also pay attention to the spiciness of the sauces used.
Bravas or patatas bravas
Though a typical Spanish tapas in general, can be enjoyed nearly everywhere in Barcelona. Bars pride themselves on the quality of the spicy tomato sauce they use, many times referred to as “receta de la Abuela” (grandma´s recipe) or also the recipe of the bar. You should not leave Barcelona without trying them!
