Experience Details

This private Barcelona culinary experience combines a guided tour of La Boqueria with a hands-on paella cooking class in a local Gràcia studio, offering a deeper connection to Spanish food culture than a standard cooking class alone. Begin by tasting jamón and exploring one of the city’s most iconic markets with your host, learning how to select high-quality local ingredients before heading to the studio to cook. Then prepare authentic paella, sangria, and crema catalana from scratch with step-by-step guidance from a local chef. With a private setting, personalized instruction, and a menu tailored to your preferences, this experience is ideal for travelers seeking an authentic, immersive food experience in Barcelona.
