Esther Dotras
A Barcelona native, Esther grew up cooking with her mother and grandmother. Their love of Catalan traditions and use of local ingredients laid the basis for her very sophisticated knowledge of Catalan cuisine. Having studied business administration and marketing on the university level, Esther has traveled extensively, giving her a very good sense of the comparisons between cuisines and traditions. When not leading walks for Context, she can be found in Barcelona’s restaurants and markets.
This tour is awesome! Esther was informative, fun and great with our kids. Definitely recommend.
We were surprised at how easy it was to spend 3 hours in La Boqueria. Esther brought an infectious energy and helped us see the market as locals do. We learned so much about Catalan food culture and why certain things are prized to come from different areas. The tastings were excellent and a good sampling of the best from the region.
Esther was amazing and held our attention throughout the entire tour. Our group had ages 11-48, and she was able to adapt to the kids when they wanted another treat in the food market. We had a great time!
