The best cooking class we've been to! - We had the BEST time with Barcelona Cooking School! My partner and I attended the Signature Paella class, starting off in the food market to buy the ingredients. This was a brilliant start to the experience, as we learnt so much about the ingredients we were about to use. The class itself was superb - a lovely venue, felt professional but also really cozy. Our chef Maria was excellent - really informative and gave clear instructions. Together with the others in the class we made a delicious paella and then to sit and eat together was a lovely end to the evening. We will definitely be coming back for another class next time we visit Barcelona!

Don't Think Twice- Book This! - I needed a solo daytime activity and this was absolutely PERFECT! Small group, very attentive Chef, lots of tips, great sightseeing, and an absolute wonderful time making friends while cooking, drinking, and enjoying a lovely meal! Maria was extremely pleasant, easy to understand, provided so many details and stories, and created a wonderful environment from the get go. We met outside the Market, started with a glass of Cava, walked through the shops and got first hand experience with the fresh foods, learned about local grown veggies, and got to sample a few amazing treats! We got up close and personal with the local catches and saw a squid get de-boned! Gross and Cool at the same time!! We then took a quick stroll through the streets to the cooking school. It was nestled near La Rambla area- felt pretty safe! The school was beautifully decorated and had adequate seating for the group and a separate cooking area. We started with a glass of Cava, got to know each other and share stories while making PAN CON TOMATE (Bread with Tomato) it was so simple yet delicious experience. We headed towards the kitchen area, made some Sangria (which was sooo delicious) and then learned about the origins of our Chef Maria and got to see how passionate she is about sharing this experience of making Pallela. Step by step, each of us got to experience and participate in the making of the Pallela. From cutting veggies, frying the crab/shrimp, pouring fish stock, stirring the sofrita, mixing, crushing herbs, each of us were kept engaged and got to learn so much! After the Pallela was made, we gathered around the table and enjoyed this collaborated meal! It was indeed Perfect! There was so much interaction with the food, the chef, and one another - I could not have asked for a better way to spend the afternoon! So if you're looking for a fantastic way to make a memory- BOOK This Experience!!

Superb experience! Definitely a highlight of our time in Barcelona. - This was a superb experience! The class prepared 2 sangrias and two paellas; all were wonderful. Instruction was detailed covering ingredients, techniques and equipment along with explanations of why things are done in a particular manner. Maria did an excellent job encouraging student interaction and sharing a bit of Barcelona culture. Her follow up included where to purchase ingredients and all of her recipes. You depart with confidence to prepare these dishes at home plus a deeper appreciation as you savor paella and sangria in restaurants. Definitely a highlight of our time in Barcelona.

Far surpassed expectations!! - This class exceeded our expectations! The tour of the market was a great introduction to paella making- not to mention the food and drink we were able to sample while browsing. Our chef was so knowledgeable and had answers to all of our questions. She was sure to include everyone during the cooking to make it an immersive, hands on class. It was a wonderful experience to see how a traditional paella is made and we are looking forward to trying out the recipes at home! Thank you again!!!

Market, Paella, Sangria & so much more. - My wife and I loved this paella cooking & sangria making class. The market visit was more than we expected as we were met with a glass of Spanish cava as Helina explained the history of the market then we were able to sample a variety of market produce such as 3 different types of olives and 2 types of jamons. Then at the class there was more cava, cheeses and jamons to enjoys. Helina was a great host and had everyone contributing to what was a fantastic paella with plenty of tasty sangria to enjoy it with. We highly recommend this activity you won’t regret it.

Fun day experiencing Barcelona foods - We met our guide outside the market. It was a fun surprise to have a glass of cava to sip on while we sampled some of the local food specialties in the market. After a short walk to the cooking kitchen, we all helped make the paella and a generous pitcher of sangria. It was a fun day of experiencing the local foods. We were so glad we added this to our Barcelona visit.
