Next, savor one of the classics of Spanish cuisine. At a beloved local spot, taste tortilla de patatas like you've never had it before, prepared following the recipe of the Tortillez family, who have turned this dish into something truly special.

From here, step into the heart of Eixample, Barcelona’s perfectly organized district and the brainchild of visionary urban planner Ildefons Cerda. Picture this: 19th-century Barcelona, ready to expand beyond its medieval walls, and Cerda’s bold plan with wide streets, sunlit squares, and innovative grid layouts changing the game. As we stroll down Rambla Catalunya, a leafy avenue alive with boutiques and bustling cafés, you’ll experience a neighborhood that mixes classic elegance with modern-day Barcelona vibes. Then, dive into the flavors of Catalonia with a traditional tapas tasting in the stylish Eixample district. Pair expertly selected small plates with a glass of local wine, soaking in the lively atmosphere of an authentic tavern.

Continue along Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona's most elegant boulevard. Once a quiet road where horse-drawn carriages glided toward the village of Gracia, today it's lined with modernist buildings and high-end boutiques. As you walk, your guide shares the stories behind its most beautiful facades, including works by Gaudi and his followers.

Finish the walking tour at Gaudi's Casa Mila, also known as La Pedrera. With its wave-like stone facade and surreal rooftop, it's one of his most iconic works. The evening concludes with a final tapas and cava tasting, right inside the building. A perfect finale to your journey through Barcelona's mix of art, architecture, and cuisine.
