What to expect

Expect a steady three-hour walk at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently to eat and chat with food vendors. You'll move between busy laneways and quieter residential streets, picking up items as you go—pastries, charcuterie, cheese, perhaps something warm from a local kitchen. The guide will point out murals and street art without overshadowing the food focus. By the end, you'll have eaten enough to skip a proper meal, though portions come in small tasting sizes rather than full plates.
