Esther gave us a wonderful walking tour even stopping for the famous Cocaolat and sharing the history of the dairy farmers, of the Ramblas area outside the old city walls, and of the neighrborhood before we even walked into La Boqueria where she knew so many of the local vendors and explained the traditions of the foods and generously treated us to many delicious tastes from olives to olive oil, to jamons to cheeses, to bread, to nuts. We really enjoyed our morning with Esther.

Don’t just take our word for it
I highly recommend the food tour of La Boqueria in Barcelona.We were privileged to have Teresa as our guide, a chef. She is very knowledgeable and has so many interesting facts about the Health benefits of the Mediterranean way of life, and how to pick fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood and meats.
Ester was wonderful! We not only got a culinary experience, we got a history and geography lesson as well!
