A list of things to do in Barcelona is incomplete without mentioning the city’s delicious offering of food and drink. Tapas, the unique style of Spanish appetizers that can be served both hot and cold, are an absolute must-try. Patatas bravas (cubed and fried potatoes served with a spicy tomato sauce), tortilla española (Spanish-style omelette with potatoes and onions) and croquetas (breaded and fried fritters with stuffing) should be at the top of your hit list. If you’re non-vegetarian, make sure you also sample the delicious cured meats and sea food that Spain is known for. For classic fare, visit one of the many food markets dotting the city (La Boqueria is a good one) or traditional restaurants. If you have some extra time, make sure to experiment with modern Spanish cuisine – the ultimate melange of old and new.
Whether you are a wine novice or a connoisseur, one of the most enjoyable things to do in Barcelona is a wine tour. There are plenty of wine tours near Barcelona, with Montserrat being a popular destination. Book your tour in advance to get the best possible experience, host and price. Most tours typically include a visit to 2 – 3 wineries near Barcelona for wine tasting, along with lunch or tapas served throughout. Not only will you learn a thing or two about wine and food pairings, you will also have the opportunity to meet and socialise with other travellers from across the world.
