PAELLA, TAPAS & SANGRÍA COOKING CLASS IN BARCELONA (English) 🇬🇧
Experience the true heart of Spanish and Catalan gastronomy with our hands-on Paella, Tapas & Sangria Cooking Class. Located in the vibrant soul of Barcelona, we invite you to step behind the apron and master the art of the sobremesa.
This isn’t just a demonstration—it’s a fully participatory workshop where you will chop, sauté, and toast your way through Spain’s most iconic flavors. The best part? The Sangria flows throughout the entire session! Learn to mix it, then enjoy it while you cook. After the hard work is done, we sit down together to enjoy the feast you’ve created.
What’s on the Menu?
Our chef-led class focuses on time-honored recipes using fresh, seasonal ingredients from local markets. You will learn to prepare:
