Embark on a hands-on culinary adventure in Barcelona that blends shopping, cooking, and culture. Your experience begins at the vibrant Sant Antoni Market, one of the city's largest produce markets. Stroll past colorful stalls brimming with fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and cheeses, and chat with local vendors to learn how these ingredients are sourced and produced.
Your guide—an expert chef—will share insights into Barcelona's deep connection to food and how it reflects the region's history and traditions. You'll even receive a reusable grocery bag to help select the ingredients for your upcoming cooking class.
Next, enjoy a short walk to a nearby rooftop terrace, where you'll sip a glass of local sparkling wine and dive into Spain's wine culture. Along the way, your guide will point out favorite spots and share stories about everyday life in Barcelona.
Finally, roll up your sleeves for a hands-on cooking lesson led by a seasoned local chef. Using the fresh ingredients you picked earlier, you'll prepare a full Spanish menu—starters, mains, and dessert. The highlight? Crafting an authentic paella, while learning about its origins and cultural significance.
By the end of the day, you'll have not only tasted Barcelona but truly experienced its culinary soul.
