The most amuzing experience in Barcelona - We had so much fun! Maria was a wonderful guide, she was very knowledgeble and guided us excellently into the cooking experience. The market tour was very informative and interesting. Our cooking team was very small, we were with an other couple. We tasted cava, prepared amazing sangria and bread with tomato before the main course, the paella. Everything was amazing, we would highly recommend it to everyone.

An Incredible Experience! - We visited Barcelona for a week, and of all our amazing adventures there, learning to cook paella with Helina was the most enjoyable! The wine tasting and shopping experience was fun and very interesting, and the class following was organized so that everyone gets involved in the action. The space is beautifully designed. The wine and conversation flow freely throughout the evening and everyone has a great time. HIGHLY recommended. Thank you, Helina!!!!

A lovely experience - This was a lovely experience that I recommend to everyone! We started with a walk through the market to buy ingredients, where Mara explained everything we are buying. The kitchen area is a short walk from the market, we had fun time cooking paella together with other guests from various countries.

Excellent family activity in Barcelona! - Excellent experience. Maria was a wonderful guide for our family of four with two teenage boys. We first toured the market and learned about the various seafood and other products. Then we walked to the location and prepared paella and sangria as a group. So much fun!

Interactive paella making encapsulating Barcelona heart - This was an absolute favorite and a must do experience to see the beauty and heart of Barcelona local life. The experience started with a detailed walk through the Mercat de la Boqueria to find essential ingredients for paella. This was followed by a quick walk to the kitchen with an intimate setting. We all learned and participated step by step instructions to make Arroz Negro (along with sangria and Pan con tomate). We were then able to eat and talk with everyone together afterwards. Instructor Mara was such a patient and passionate person while sharing her family’s recipe with us. She made this experience truly an invaluable experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend to all visitors of all ages.
