You might have read about my stories backpacking in Barcelona in Catalonia, having crossed in from Andorra. I loved my time in this city and surprised myself by this. I expected it to be overtouristic, dear and too cliched. However, it wasn’t like that at all. I loved touring the sights, drinking in bars with my cousin and doing a tour of Gracia Village. For food lovers, here are a couple of brilliant new and exciting food experiences in Barcelona from WithLocals that you should try and book.
1.Spanish Tapas on a “Secret” Rooftop!
If you have followed my travels, you know I love uncovering secrets everywhere I go. Here in Barcelona, embark on a secret rooftop food tour. The secret is actually the natural and fresh products as they are taken from Santa Caterina market, probably the best in Barcelona and a little off the tourist scent. Food wise, it’s hard to beat with lots of local delicacies to surprise you, I won’t give too much away!
The drinks include water, red and white wine, beer and you will also be able to try a glass of local Cava (Catalonian style) as a warm welcome and some home-made alcohol is another surprise…

A special treat from the Marco Polo Silk Road story is certainly to mix a range of spices and convert them into one glorious feast and that is exactly what happens on the “Dining with Marco Polo” night.
