      Barcelona Authentic Paella and Sangria Cooking Class

      A hands-on journey into the heart of Catalan cuisine, from apron to table.

      This Barcelona paella cooking class offers a genuine, chef-led introduction to one of Spain's most celebrated dishes, combining technique, culture, and great company in a single session. Guests begin with a welcome glass of cava before rolling up their sleeves and getting to work. The experience concludes with a shared 3-course meal paired with wine or sangria.

      Barcelona's food culture is rooted in fresh ingredients, communal dining, and time-honored recipes passed down through generations. This class places participants directly inside that tradition, guided by a professional chef who shares both the skills and the stories behind the dish. It is suitable for complete beginners and curious home cooks alike.

      The format is deliberately social, encouraging conversation and collaboration among participants as they cook side by side. By the end of the session, guests leave with a practical skill, a full stomach, and a deeper appreciation for the culinary identity of the city. No prior cooking experience is required.
