What You’ll Experience

Your culinary journey begins at your chosen time—because we understand busy schedules, we offer three flexible start options to fit your day perfectly. First, join your chef at the famous Boqueria Market to pick out fresh seafood, vibrant vegetables, and other essential ingredients, soaking in the lively market atmosphere. Next, head to our professional cooking studio, where you'll taste refreshing cava and learn to make traditional Catalan pan con tomate, topped with jamón and cheese—delicious starters to kick off your culinary adventure. Then, participate in a fun Sangria Workshop, mixing wine, fresh juices, and fruit to create this classic Spanish beverage. The highlight is crafting Paella—whether seafood, chicken, or vegetarian—guided step-by-step by our expert chef in a hands-on workshop. We supply only the highest quality ingredients so you can focus on mastering the technique. Finally, sit down at a beautifully set table to enjoy our freshly cooked paella, accompanied by a bottomless glass of wine. You'll leave not only with new skills and recipes but also with unforgettable memories of your time in Barcelona. Join us and bring the flavors of Spain home!
