a great event for both teams and individuals

It was truly a wonderful experience. Maja and Andre provided us with a great and interesting afternoon. We were able to learn quite a bit for our own kitchen and found both of them very likable.

Halfway experience

Immersive experience, but below expectations. The market visit was very nice, a brief stay, everyone on their own, and once we regrouped, we went to the cooking school. Well done, Maia, who explained the technique and procedure for making paella. We engaged in preparing the ingredients, and the chef completed the cooking. Unfortunately for the rest, the program for which we paid was not respected: we did not prepare the pintxos (a variety of classic Spanish finger foods) nor the sangria (served in a pitcher at the table without any trace of fruit, leading to the doubt that it was pre-packaged). Experience completed in just under 2 hours.

Fantastic cultural experience

Had a great experience. The guide Milo was very knowledgeable and a fantastic cook and guide. Everything was easy to understand, and the walk around the Gothic quarter and market was very interesting. We loved learning about the history and Barcelonas oldest traditions and prides. Has some great food with amazing people. Couldn't recommend enough!!!!

Super fun!

I came to Barcelona with my mom on a mother-daughter trip. I really wanted to take a paella making class and came across this one. I particularly liked that part of the experience is going to the Mercat de la Boqueria! We get to walk around and experience that while Milo (one of our chefs) buys the seafood for the paella. Then he walks us through some neighborhoods on our way to where the class will be held. Manny (our class’ main chef) greeted us and was sooo kind and informative. This class is super interactive and fun! Manny goes over what ingredients and how much to add and step by step we participate in chopping vegetables, stirring the seafood and cutting the seafood. Overall this was a super fun experience that my mom and I both really enjoyed. We got to meet new people also taking the class and chit chat while we enjoyed the paella we made. 10/10 recommend for anyone coming to Barcelona!

Seafood Paella (then eat it)

Met up at a bar, then off to the market. Our time there was shortened due to a protest. Walked to our cooking venue and had an excellent demonstration/participation on making paella.

So much fun!

What a great time we had. The evening started with meeting near the open air market, briefly touring the market (you'll be back on your own, I'm sure) and heading out with the group for a short walk to a private kitchen. Our guide and chef, Milo, was so much fun. The wine and sangria flowed freely. He led us to the kitchen and showed us how to prepare the paella. We all took on jobs to bring the evening to a climax of enjoying the paella. What a great evening!
