About the area
Gràcia was once a town of its own and still feels like one, with narrow streets, small squares and old bodegas. This route tastes it the way locals eat: vermouth-hour tapas, hot chocolate with churros and Catalan fork breakfasts, with croquetas and a classic bodega dinner on the longer route.

Food and dietary notice
Cross-contamination is likely, so our food guides are not recommended if you have food allergies. We can't cater for religious dietary requirements and we don't state whether anything is halal. Where we know a dish contains pork, beef or alcohol we say so, but that is not conclusive — check directly with each vendor. You take part at your own risk.
If you have a severe or life-threatening allergy, we recommend you don't take part.
