A three-hour midday tour that moves from Zaragoza's market stalls to a series of tapas stops. Rated a perfect 5 across 9 reviews, from $106.92 per person.

Overview

Three hours, one central market, a set of gourmet shops, and stops at tapas bars in Zaragoza's Old Town. That is the shape of this midday walk from Rutica 41 Spain, a casual food tour built around the way locals actually eat in the middle of the day. You start at a central food market that dates to 1903, where you meet local vendors.

From there the route continues through the Old Town, calling in at specialty shops selling artisanal meats, cheeses and olive oils, before the eating proper begins. Tapas come served Zaragoza style, paired with local Aragonese drinks, four of which are included in the price. Along the way the guide layers in history, and one traveller described the tour as more than just a tapas tour, calling it a historic look at a vibrant city.

It suits visitors who want food with context. One reviewer warned that it is not a sightseeing circuit of the city's major buildings, so anyone expecting a landmarks tour should adjust expectations. At the end there is time to talk with the guide, who can recommend activities for the remainder of your stay.
