Begin your journey at the Mercat del Ninot, one of the most authentic local markets in the Eixample district. With your expert guide, explore stalls bursting with seasonal ingredients while learning about daily life, Catalan food traditions, and the city’s evolving culinary identity.
Next, enjoy a leisurely walking tour through the elegant Eixample, where architecture and gastronomy go hand in hand. Arrive at a classic neighborhood bodega, where a glass of artisanal vermut and traditional tapas await. Discover the culture of “fer el vermut” and why this midday ritual remains a sacred part of local life.
Continue to the Mercat de la Llibertat, deep in the heart of Gràcia. Here, your chef takes the lead, guiding you through the market while selecting fresh ingredients for your upcoming cooking class. This is your chance to connect with local vendors and hear stories about seasonal products, recipes, and neighborhood food culture.
A short walk brings you to a private kitchen space, where the final chapter unfolds: your paella cooking class. Step into the role of chef as you prepare a traditional paella from scratch, guided step by step with passion and technique. While the rice simmers, enjoy wine and good conversation—and then sit down to savor your creation together.
