Explore the Sants neighborhood on a guided food tour in Barcelona. Enjoy a hearty breakfast at Mercat de Sants, taste seasonal dishes, and visit a cultural center in a former textile factory.
Begin your day with a hearty breakfast in the newly restored Mercat de Sants, in business since 1913. Sample what’s on offer from the vendors inside. As you continue through the neighborhood, drop by some of its numerous food shops and restaurants, both old and new, tasting well-loved dishes from menus that change according to the season.
Along the way, stop at old-school bodegas and bars to enjoy some vermut with tapas among the wine casks and at small bakeries and chocolate shops for handmade sweets.
Visit one of the neighborhood’s most unique social and cultural projects, a massive 19th-century textile factory that, after decades of disuse, has been transformed by locals into a bustling cultural center, one that even has its own bar and microbrewery. Over a drink and more bites of Sants food, learn about the history of community organizing in Sants and what makes this neighborhood so special.
