Interactive Spanish Cooking Experience in Barcelona

By Paella Cooking Class Experience
About
Rather than ordering tapas and paella at Barcelona’s restaurants, cook them for yourself with a local chef. Learn about local produce at La Boqueria market before visiting a teaching kitchen to prep tapas, mix sangria, and cook a paella. Sit down to eat them with your fellow cooks and opt to enjoy a “chupito” shot at a bar to cap your experience. A choice of time slots provides handy flexibility.

Ages 5-99, max of 28 per group
Duration: 3h
Start time: Check availability
Mobile ticket
Live guide: English

      Roberto was amazing
      Our group of 8 had an amazing and fun evening with Roberto. We learned some great history. We visited 3 wonderful places for great tapas and drinks. The food was delicious and filling and we made some great new friends in our group tour. Highly recommend this for a fun night exploring the Gothic District in beautiful Barcelona.

      Would highly recommend the tapas and wine tour!
      This was a great tour. Lots of different food to try and the wine was very free flowing. We got a special treat going to the Test Kitchen. Roberto was out guide and he was very entertaining and knowledgeable.

      Great experience learning and eating around the Gothic quarter.
      We thoroughly enjoyed our food and history tour, Lorenza was very knowledgeable and we tasted a variety of local delicacies around the Gothic quarter while learning some of the political and social history of the region.

      Interesting, but not a ‘ghost tour’
      There were no ghost stories on the tour. It had some interesting historical facts and a few disturbing stories, but it feels misleading to call it a ghost tour. The host was nice and friendly, but not a great storyteller. In his defense, there were some unruly young kids with tipsy parents in our group that were a big distraction.

      Thank you for a super awesome day kayaking
      We booked this trip in-between very amazing trips in Barcelona... Gaudi, Montserrat... and then came the most enjoyable day on the coast nrth of Barcelona. Together with Matias in his bus we took the trip north to Tossa De Mar on the Costa Brava coast... not only was the trip there scenic, when we arrived in Tossa De Mar it was the most beautiful little town!! ... And then we went for an amzing kayak trip with Matias. He was not only the most kind person we have met ever, he was fun and super informative and supportive while kayaking... showed us all kinds of coves and little waterways that one would have never seen, if not kayaking from the water. Matias, thanks a million for looking after us all and making today the most fun... Pieter even said the best day of his life... and we will all be back kayaking together with the rest of our families. Have a super season, and hope to see you soon. Corlia, Eddie, Liesel and Pieter.

      Fun and Informative
      Our guide Jake was excellent. He was informative and very knowledgeable about Barcelona history. The tapas and cocktails at the 4 eateries we went to were very good and some were unusual. I don’t think we would have found these places or had this experience on our own. Everyone in our group loved it.

      Kayaking never happened.
      We arrived at the meeting point to be told the kayaking trip was cancelled due to rough sea and wind. Feel we could have been contacted beforehand to save us the trip to the meeting point. Still waiting for refund.

      Avoid
      Really poor. We’ve been on food / beer / wine tours in various cities this year and it was by far the worst. For the price, we had to share wine with strangers in the street, didn’t get any tapas on one stop because others had eaten all the food and had a dribble of sangria in the final bar and was told if we wanted any more we’d have to buy it. Four of us were also separated in the last venue and the guide after talking to the main group came over and said “did you hear that, or do you want me to say it again”. Not worth the money, very poor guide, food was good but scarce and very little to drink. AVOID

      A worthwhile experience
      I find it a truly fulfilling experience. It went far beyond with my expectations. Learned a lot about the foods, drinks and history in Barcelona .

      Great tour, slightly mismanaged by Devour
      Jordy was an excellent guide. An hour into the tour it began to pour. The group was game to continue, but Jordy did trim the walking a bit for the sake of our comfort. A couple venues were overcrowded because of people getting out of the rain. The only negative for Devour was letting a couple book the tour online at the last moment. Their late and disruptive arrival was unfortunate for the good of the group. Our group was bigger than the tour had arranged with the bars and restaurants prior to their late booking, so every venue was overcrowded. Let's not mention the behavior of the late couple.

      Tapas and wine, with a little history
      Very enjoyable tour with great food and wine. Knowledgeable guide on the area and local history. Food was amazing with ample portions plus good quantities of sample drinks

    Had a great time. We picked out our own fresh prawns from the market. Everyone had something to do with the meal and it turned out great. Also got to meet other people and had great conversations.

    Had a great time with Liz making Paella! We got a lesson on the history and how to make it and then spent the evening making Paella with endless sangria! Would definitely recommend as a date night while in Barcelona!

    Really fun to be at with friendly chefs and good food. Didn’t get to participate in all of the food prep simply because there were many people and only one “station” but we still enjoyed ourselves and had fun.

    Liz and Naomi made a good evening even better with their cheerful and fun attitude, and their passion for food and drinks, during a peripd of 3 hourd they made 16 different people feel like one happy family and it was truly sad the night ended

    This cooking experience exceeded my expectations. Sally, the hostess, was very knowledgeable and kept everyone laughing. I highly recommend (and I’m not even a huge paella fan!)

    Judit was so wonderful to spend the day in Montserrat with. My daughter and I had a great time and Judit’s welcoming personality and knowledge of the town made it even more enjoyable.

    Awesome experience. Liz and Anthony were the best. Sweet and fun and thorogh. Plus the sangria, tapas, and paella was wonderful. Learning how to actually cook the paella and meeting new people were the biggest takeaways from it!! Thanks Liz and Anthony!!
