Highly recommend this experience! - I cannot recommend this experience enough!!! We started with an interesting and informative tour of La Boqueria, then walked to the cooking school (short walk and alive with Barcelona culture). Our chef was so great at helping us be comfortable with each other and he remembered everyone's name immediately. We each got to make a significant part of our meal - I made the Crema Catalona and it was easy with his explanations and help. We enjoyed our fabulous meal together overlooking Las Ramblas. Our chef was welcoming, interesting, entertaining and kind. Loved, loved, loved this experience!!!!!

Just do it! Such an fun day! - What an amazing day! We had the best teacher Juan! He was so informative, but kept it fun! It was nice to have someone lead around the market as it can be intimidating. The class itself was super organized and the food was so good! Highly recommend spending a half day doing this! Well worth it :) Thanks Juan for a memorable day!

OMG my favorite experience. - Juan was an exceptional chef. The food was mythical. I really enjoyed the tour of the market and the history, however the highlight of the trip was the food. I was in charge of the crema Catalonia, which was creamy and perfect. The gazpacho was something I've never made and was perfectly balanced in flavors. We had a wonderful seafood paella and a potatoes dish too. Worth every penny and the highlight of my visit to Barcelona.

Excellent Catalunya cooking. - Juan was outstanding to ensure the cooking was engaging and humorous. His prep was excellent to ensure the multiple dishes could be completed and enjoyed in the 4 hour slot.
