Barcelona: Paella Cooking Experience & Boqueria Market Tour

1.Paella Cooking Experience & Boqueria Market Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 3,661 reviews · 3 hours · from $85Our pick

Meet an English-speaking chef near Las Ramblas for a guided look around La Boqueria, then walk to a private dining room and open kitchen. Help prepare tapas and seafood paella, hear how the dish comes together, and mix sangria. Chefs such as Andrea, Luca, Maia, and Kako have led sessions, though the guide varies.

“Andrea was amazing. We enjoyed every second of the experience and it was more than I expected. The produce was fresh, the wine was plenty (soft drink were provided too), the tapas was very good and the paella was the best we ever had. We were even invited back to the meeting point for free churros. We learned a lot and experienced cooking (but it’s not mandatory to get involved if you don’t wish to). Andrea is very knowledgeable and helpful and funny. Would definitely recommend it.”
