Tapas Evening Walking Tour of Barcelona

NileGuide Expert tip:

Not to be missed, is Ginger Bar, located in the Gothic Quarter right off the Jaume I metro on the yellow line. This quaint, rustic bar (which some refer to as an airport lounge) has some of the best cocktails and tapas in the city. Try the tuna tartar and the duck, both are absolutely amazing.
