Gràcia: A Village in Itself
Once an independent town in itself, Gràcia didn’t become part of Barcelona proper until the 19th century. To this day it still boasts its own personality, and locals who have lived in Gracia their whole lives say they are “going down to Barcelona”.
Small in size, though densely populated, Gràcia is favored by locals for its combination of traditional and young. Artsy and whimsical, Gràcia is chock-full of small independent boutiques, shops (epicurean and non), cafés, bars, and restaurants.
Our tour will include a long halt at one of the best and oldest specialty olive oil shops in the city, where you will get to experience a tasting guided by the shop owner herself, our friend and pioneer olive oil gastronome Sandra Stefani. You will have the opportunity to purchase high-quality oils to take home at very fair prices.
This tour also includes a visit to a neighborhood market, one of our favorites in the city, as well as an optional sit-down lunch at the end at a small, artisanal market fare restaurant loved by locals.
“We were so fortunate to have had someone recommend Sobremesa to us before our first trip to Barcelona. Meeting Camila was like meeting an old friend. She walked us through the Gracia neighborhood showing us some hidden gems only a local would know.”
