Made in Catalonia, Barcelona with Culinary Backstreets
Description
At first glance, the Gràcia district of Barcelona appears to be the gatekeeper of the resurgent Catalan identity: “Free Catalonia!” graffiti scrawled in the backstreets, Catalan flags flying from so many balconies, the distinct sound of the Catalan language heard in cafés and eateries. But as one explores the covered markets, bakeries and small bodegas of this colorful, lesser-explored area, the politics du jour recede and the deep culinary roots of this unique culture come into view.

Our day will consist of a series of delicious bites and intriguing sites. We will start our food tour in Barcelona with coffee and traditional pastries in a century-old sweets shop and then eat our way through two of Barcelona’s most celebrated markets.
As we walk through one of Barcelona's lesser-known public markets, we'll stop to get to know some of its vendors and taste their delicious offerings.
In each of the dozen places we visit on this tour, from the rustic to the refined, we’ll learn more about the Catalan kitchen and day-to-day Catalan life in its stronghold, the Gràcia neighborhood.
