Barcelona Bodega Food & Wine Tour with Culinary Backstreets

I do a lot of food research before our trips. It’s important for me to find the best local restaurants so I consult food blogs, crowd review websites, and online food magazines to get good leads.

With that said, research can only take me so far. No matter how many hours I spend poring over articles and reading reviews, I know nothing compares to local knowledge, knowledge that can only be found on the ground.

I think it goes without saying that locals know their food best. They know how something is supposed to taste. They can distinguish authentic from inauthentic and they know exactly where to take you to have those soulful and genuine dining experiences. Unfortunately, many are off the beaten path and aren’t as easy to find on Google.

Those are the types of places I look for in every city…
