I love chatting with my regular shopkeepers about life and food. They know what kind of chicken, fish, meat, and cheese I like to buy and how I like it prepared. I know their family stories, and they know mine. On this tour, you’ll get insider tips, learn key Spanish words and phrases, and experience the markets the way locals do.

After exploring the stalls, we’ll take a seat at the bar and sample some delicious tortilla de patata and pan con tomate, paired with a Vichy Catalan or coffee. It’s a taste of everyday life in Barcelona that you won’t find in guidebooks.

I regularly shop at Mercat de Galvany and Mercat de Sarrià, but I love visiting markets across the city. I’m happy to come to your barrio and help you find the best stands for your tastes and preferences.
