About this tour
Sample two of Spain's most prized cured meats—a Gran Reserva and 50% Ibérico de Cebo—guided by a ham expert in Barcelona's city centre, just steps from Sagrada Familia. You'll pair each slice with your choice of cava, wine, beer, or a soft drink, plus breadsticks, in a half-hour session that slots neatly between other sightseeing. The setup is relaxed and hands-on, letting you understand what separates one ham from another without the lecture.
Highlights
- Taste Gran Reserva and Ibérico de Cebo side by side
- Paired with cava, wine, beer, or soft drink

What to expect
You'll arrive at a casual venue near Sagrada Familia and be greeted by a ham specialist who walks you through the tasting. Two contrasting cuts arrive with your chosen drink. The guide explains the differences in breed, aging, and flavour without overcomplicating things. You'll taste, ask questions, and sip at your own pace. It's conversational rather than formal—expect the kind of detail that helps you spot quality ham later, not a long speech. The whole thing wraps in 30 minutes.
