About this tour
Learn to build a proper seafood paella alongside a chef who'll walk you through Barcelona's most storied market, sourcing ingredients as you go. Spend three hours in the Old Town picking up the basics of tapas, mixing sangria, and cooking your own dish to share. You'll eat what you've made, washed down with sangria you've blended yourself, plus watch the chef execute a full paella de marisco at the stove.
Highlights
- Source ingredients directly at La Boqueria with a trained chef guide
- Roll up your sleeves and build paella de marisco from scratch
- Master quick traditional tapas in a working kitchen
- Blend and drink unlimited sangria throughout the session
- Taste paella fresh off the burner at shared tables
- Walk through Barcelona's Old Town between market and kitchen
What to expect
You'll start at La Boqueria market, where the chef introduces you to stalls and helps you pick out seafood, rice, and aromatics. Back in the kitchen, you'll split tasks—some prepping tapas, others layering the paella base, everyone mixing sangria. You'll watch the chef finish the main dish whilst you settle at a table, then dig in family-style. Recipes come via QR code so you can remake it at home. The whole thing runs three hours, with downtime to chat and eat.
