Spanish Cooking Class and La Boqueria Visit in Barcelona

5-star experience

The cooking class was definitely the capstone to my time in Barcelona. Dishes like gazpacho and paella seemed difficult, but our instructor showed us that they were simple enough to make at home. I loved starting the time at the local market, where we not only collected ingredients but learned how special and local each one was. I also appreciated that we learned Catalan-specific recipes, especially the tomato bread which is so easy to make but one of my favorites that I’m especially excited to make that at home. Of course, our sweet guide, varied class members (from 13 to 80+ years old!), and free flowing wine all added to the experience. I’d highly recommend it!

Spanish classic dishes

I would do this class again in a heartbeat. Renate was wonderful and so welcoming. She explained all and made it seem so easy. Not only did we learn to make some classic Spanish dishes but then you get to enjoy eating them. They were delicious. There’s a great little cookbook I’d recommend also. Plus you get to visit the fabulous market and shop for your supplies. There are also several families with children in the class. Great experience for them too! Thank you Renate for a terrific experience!

Fantastic experience

It was such a great experience learning about the market and shopping for ingredients. The atmosphere of the kitchen is wonderful as is chef Juan. A must do in Barcelona!

Highlight of our Trip

I cannot say enough good things about this experience. Without a doubt, it was the highlight of our trip! We so much enjoyed the trip to the market, the education we received about how the market came to be and the strategic location of all of the food booths and the Chef himself. Our Chef was the best! He was friendly, informative and had a great personality. We would do this again in a heartbeat!
