Our experience combines the best of Barcelona: a guided market tour at La Boquería with a professional chef, followed by a premium hands-on cooking class in a stunning loft with Cathedral views.
It is the perfect blend of authenticity, exclusivity, and hospitality. We begin with a guided market visit at La Boquería, where your professional chef reveals the secrets behind Spain’s most iconic ingredients. Then you’ll cook in our designer loft with Cathedral views – an inspiring, premium space that sets the tone for a memorable day. Our format is fully hands-on: you don’t just watch, you actively prepare five authentic Spanish dishes, including tapas, sangria, paella, and dessert, while enjoying local selected wine, cava, or soft drinks. The experience is intimate and social, designed for small groups so that every guest receives personal attention. More than a cooking class, it’s a cultural journey where food, wine, and people connect.
