Additional Information

Our most sought-after service is this combination of a market tour and cooking class, spanning roughly four hours. The journey commences with a walk with our professional chefs to the globally renowned La Boqueria market in close proximity. You’ll be guided through an ‘exclusive access’ tour where you’ll interact with the established vendors, many are generation-old stall owners. Knowledge of regional produce and your involvement in ingredient selection for the later cooking class are the highlights of this tour. Post-market visit, we head back to our kitchen to start preparing a four-course meal. Our classes cater to all proficiency levels and are conducted by professional bilingual chefs. Your involvement in the making of diverse dishes under the careful supervision of our chef trainers ensures an engaging, communal, hands-on experience. Unlimited access to wines is part of the package. We are flexible in reshaping our menus to suit any dietary restrictions, including vegan options.

Wonderful Barcelona Cooking with Juan - On our 4th day in Barcelona, we decided to take the Cooking Class/Tour of La Boqueria with Juan/Barcelona Cooking and it was a truly memorable experience. Juan is a fantastic person, with an extremely warm and welcoming personality and creates a truly fun and wonderful atmosphere during the 4 hour experience. Visiting the Market, walking a bit down Las Ramblas and preparing and eating the meal with newly found friends from various countries makes for a great time. We had originally planned to spend the day visiting Monsterrat for the day but had been tired from our previous days' excursions and instead joined Juan and we could not have been happier with our decision. We highly recommend anyone (single, couple, family) to sign up for Barcelona Cooking with Juan and you will most definitely have an extremely enjoyable time. We did for sure. Thank you Juan, our new friend (-: Andy & Nancy

Awesome Family Experience - This activity was so much fun! We were guided through the market by the chef, who was charming and knowledgeable about the history of the various products available at the busy market. He bought ingredients for our meal, which included Butternut squash and pear soup, chicken paella and a traditional omelet and dessert. We shared the experience with two other groups for a total of eight people. We all had plenty of food prep and cooking opportunities and the food and wine was delicious. I highly recommend this cheerful and informative experience in the heart of Barcelona!!

Fantastic family experience - The trip to the Boqueria and cooking class were amazing. Juan explained all about the market, its history and showcased the wonderful fresh food and stalls. The cooking class was informative but also great fun and we all enjoyed it - including my 15 year old son. I would highly recommend booking this.

A fun and delicious Spanish cooking experience - My husband, son and I had an amazing time today learning about how to purchase ingredients and how to prepare a wonderful Spanish meal. Our instructor Renata was so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. She explained so many details of the history of the dishes and the best way to cook them. Also, we met some very nice people at the class. It was nice getting to know them, which added to the fun. We really loved every minute of this cooking class experience.
