About this tour

What to expect
You'll start in the bustling Sarrià Market, where your guide walks you through choosing the finest ingredients—learning to assess seafood freshness and quality vegetables by eye and touch. Once back in the warm, welcoming kitchen space, you'll roll up your sleeves to prepare paella together with other participants. Rather than each making your own plate, the group collaborates on shared dishes, mirroring how paella is traditionally eaten: as a communal affair. Expect hands-on guidance as you layer flavours, stir the pan, and time the cooking. Pan con tomate and sangria round out the session, and lunch brings it all together.
