This is a unique opportunity to experience an evening like a local, tasting local dishes, exploring the Gothic Quarter and enjoying an authentic flamenco show. This memorable evening is an amazing way to see the Gothic Quarter, enjoy scrumptious tapas and immerse yourself in an enthralling live flamenco show.

Description

Your Private Flamenco Show Tour starts in the main old town square of Plaça Sant Jaume where you will find your guide waiting for you in front of City Hall. This tour is set in Barcelona’s oldest district that was first settled by the Romans just over 2,000 years ago, so there is plenty of history and anecdotes to share with you as your guide leads you to your first tapas venue set in the heart of the Jewish Quarter.

The maze of streets that make up the Gothic Quarter are best navigated with a local expert leading the way making your visit seamless, taking you to tapas gems off the beaten path, as well as adding a depth of knowledge that would be hard to gain on your own.

There are a myriad of wonderful things to say about tapas and your guide will make sure to tell you about the origin of these small portions of local dishes. Tapas are almost always a social event and most socializing in Spain revolves around food and you will discover why on this private walking tapas tour. You will have the chance to visit two authentic venues tucked away in the small streets of this pedestrianized quarter to share and try different dishes. Tapas and a drink go hand in hand and you will have a chance to try some delicious local wines and beers. After all, there is no shortage of either in Spain which has 2.9 million acres of vineyards and 400 microbreweries. Over tapas, your guide will tell you more about Spanish wines, allowing you to order like a local for the rest of your trip!

Listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, flamenco is so much more than foot stomping dancing and melodious music. Evolving over hundreds of years, flamenco dance and music is a reflection of the mixture of Gypsy, Muslim and Spanish cultures taking a bit from each one to make it what it is today. Experiencing a live show is a once in a lifetime experience, especially in a small venue like the one LivTours has chosen for you. You will be mesmerized by the incredibly fast footwork of the dancers in their colorful dresses and the skilled guitarists accompanying them. Your guide will make sure to share with you the nuances and the history behind this art form. Enjoy a moment of true culture as you immerse yourself in Spain!
