Barcelona Cooking and Market - The entire day was spectacular! I loved our instructor, the market, and the experience with our whole group. What a wonderful way to experience what it feels like to be a local in Barcelona! Make sure to purchase some smoked paprika and spices to make your own paella at home.

Don’t hesitate to book this! - Absolutely brilliant - can’t recommend this enough. Candido was an excellent host and such an informative guide round the market. The cooking was so well organised and we were clearly learning from a master. Learned so much that I can take away!

Fabulous food and experience - This was the most fun ever. We learned so much of the Spain culture. They took us to the market to pick out the food we were going to cook. The instructor Sonya was friendly and knowledgeable. Diff a must to try.

I would highly recommend this experience! - Chef Juan was an excellent instructor. He is very knowledgeable & entertaining. The trip to the market before the class is an excellent feature & adds a level of authenticity to the cooking experience.

Wonderful Experience Cooking with Juan - Really enjoyed cooking class. Instructor and classmates (total of 8 students) were great. We made strawberry gazpacho, tomato toast, Spanish omelette, seafood paella with crème brûlée to finish. Loved shopping at local market before we started cooking. Great time, highly recommend!

Great experience! - Juan was Juan-Derfull! The visit to market was brief but informative. The cooking was fun, creative and delicious. My family wants me to try to make paella now that I’m home.

So much fun! - I chose to privatize the activity, so it was just me and my family. We love the tour of La Boquería, Their kitchen is large and clean and it was a happy and convivial moment. The kids (ages 9, 12 and 14) loved it! Juan is charming and patient and a great guide. I highly recommend this experience.

Priceless Memories - This was our first activity when arriving in Barcelona and was a huge success. Our chef, Juan, was fantastic and took us on a tour of La Boqueria Market to pick up some items we would use for cooking and explained the market while we walked through. He knew so many people and we enjoyed the interactions along the way. We even were able to sample some jamon. Our class was just above Las Ramblas, with large windows overlooking the bustling street. We had a great time working together to make our meal, learning about the traditions and tips along the way. We had a 14 yo (in a cast!) and a 12 yo and Chef was great about getting them involved and keeping them interested. It was a perfect way to kick off our trip!
