Food & Wine Tours in Spain
Northern Spain's food scene is incredible. Barcelona kicks off at La Boqueria Market learning to make paella properly. Then it's La Rioja for underground wine caves in Laguardia and tapas crawls in Logroño. San Sebastian's pintxos are legendary, Picos de Europa serves up real mountain cheese, and Galicia wraps things up with A Coruña's seafood markets and Santiago's old streets.
