This experience combines Spanish gastronomy, culture, and social interaction in one fun and authentic activity in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Unlike a traditional cooking class, travelers not only learn how to prepare authentic sangria and traditional paella, but also enjoy a relaxed and international atmosphere where they can meet people from around the world. Guests participate step by step in the cooking process with local hosts, discover traditional Spanish ingredients and techniques, and then sit together to enjoy the food and drinks prepared during the experience. The combination of hands-on cooking, local culture, social vibes, and Barcelona nightlife energy makes this a memorable experience for solo travelers, couples, groups of friends, and food lovers visiting the city.

Do not book this experience, no one ever showed up, it seems to be a scam as the locations indicated on the booking are not actual places, nor do they indicate that any activity will take place anywhere around. We asked for a full refund and never got to experience this activity. What a shame.
Una pena que pase esto y estamos tratando de resolver todos los inconvenientes
Excellent and charming host. We really loved it
Amazing cooking experience!! My girlfriend and i had such a good time! The sangria was great and the food was excellent! We learned a lot and had a great time! Highly recommend this cooking class!
Very delicious paella and super interesting.
Marlon was a great teacher. He taught us how to cook paella with real passion. The atmosphere felt very family-like, and we really enjoyed it. We would recommend it to anyone. The sangria was delicious and easy to make. We would definitely recommend a "smaller" cooking class like this over going to a formal cooking school. The vibe was just perfect. 👍
The cook was very nice. The food was ok. They switched restaurants where they would host the cooking class last second with no notification, we were late! Top floor of a small restaurant it was so hot it was crazy. No water offered, no napkins, no utensils. We ate with a fork and no knife. We sat for an hour and half not even a piece of bread. The host disappeared on us, we walked ourselves out. Not worth it at all! Incredibly disappointing for what we spent.
lamentamos mucho la situación estamos mejorando para que no vuelva a suceder
Terrible. They flaked out. Random cancelled. They said they never received the reservation. Really ? I received a Viator confirm the same day. My friends gave up their last nite in barcelona for nothing.
