“We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon with Mimi. The walking tour was great. I really loved the Central Market so I have to go back. The venue for the tapas, cava and wines was beautiful! A little outdoor oasis. We also got toasted almonds, delicious olives, and many types of tapas. The dining room was equally lovely. Here we experienced a soup, potato topped with quail egg and bacon crumbs on a smear of aioli, paella, red wine, lemon granita topped with ice cream, a local liquer and a chocolate truffle. So good! Highly recommend this tour as a way to learn about the city, local specialties, and to pamper yourself.”
