Overview

Our experience combines the best of Barcelona: a guided visit to Santa Caterina Market with a professional chef, followed by a premium hands-on Spanish cooking class.

It is the perfect blend of authenticity, local culture, and hospitality. We begin with a visit to Santa Caterina Market, one of Barcelona’s most authentic food markets, where your chef will introduce the ingredients, traditions, and flavors that define Spanish and Catalan cuisine. Then, you'll continue to La Foodieteca, an exclusive cooking venue in the heart of the city, where your culinary experience comes to life.

Our format is fully hands-on: you actively prepare authentic Spanish dishes, including tapas, sangria, paella, and dessert, while enjoying selected local wines or soft drinks. The experience is intimate and social, designed for small groups so that every guest receives personal attention. More than a cooking class, it’s a cultural journey where food, traditions, and people come together around the table.
