Response from Host, Jun 2026
What a joy to read about your fantastic afternoon on the terrace. Thank you for sharing this lovely feedback about your time with Alfonso. Preparing authentic tapas and mixing fresh sangria while taking in the beautiful Barcelona skyline is such a special way to dive into Spanish culinary culture. Alfonso pours his heart into sharing his cherished local recipes, and he will be delighted to hear how much you enjoyed both his teaching and the abundant feast you created together. We would love nothing more than to welcome you back for another unforgettable cooking class the next time you visit Catalonia.

Our afternoon with Alfonso in his chic apartment overlooking the glitzy marina of Barcelona couldn't have been better. We were three of a group of seven welcomed into his kitchen where we got 'hands on' in the preparation of gazpacho, king prawn and mushroom tapas, Spanish omelette and of course sangria! The intimate setting was fabulous but when we were guided upstairs to stunning garden terrace to then feast on the fruits of our labour, was something else. It was one of the real highlights of our trip. Couldn't recommend it more highly...

Thank you for sharing such a vivid and generous review of your Rooftop Tapas & Sangria Class in Barcelona. Alfonso truly loves welcoming guests into his home, and we’re delighted that the intimate group setting, hands-on cooking, and the reveal of that stunning garden terrace made your afternoon so memorable. Preparing classic Spanish omelette, prawn tapas, gazpacho, and sangria together, then enjoying the view over the marina, is exactly the kind of authentic, local experience we aim to create. Knowing it became a highlight of your trip means the world to us. We would love to welcome you back to Alfonso’s kitchen whenever you return to Barcelona.

Great experience with Chef Alfonso! He welcomed us into his home with spectacular views of the water and city. Bonus was his adorable dog that me and my partnered were obsessed with. Welcomed with cava and earned how to make many traditional tapas dishes. Really appreciated the flexibility for no shell-fish for my partner when communicated ahead of time. Prepared inside and had a lovely meal on the rooftop! Best view while eating we had during our trip. We got lucky and had a private experience as it was just the two of us for the day we booked. Would recommend and can’t wait to make these dishes back at home!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for this amazing review! We're so glad Chef Alfonso made your Barcelona rooftop tapas class so special! From a cava welcome to authentic Spanish tapas with breathtaking city views — pure magic! We'll pass your lovely words on to him. Hope to welcome you both back soon!

Amazing! A must do! Amazing hosts! Amazing space and spectacular location. You are greeted outside by Alfonso and taken up to a spacious and gorgeous flat! Then, you are offered a glass of champagne, water or a soda. The table is prepped and ready for you to go. Before you start cooking you go up stairs to an amazing roof deck with a spectacular view of all of Barcelona. My teenagers loved it too they could not believe the whole place and experience. We are excited to get our recipes and Alfonso was an excellent teacher. A must due with Alfonso and his amazing colleague. The food was filling and delicious!. Everything you make you eat and it is all typical Spanish Tapas! Five stars!!! We loved the whole experience from start to finish. Eileen and Family from NJ. 4/6/26
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you! We’re thrilled your family and teenagers had such an amazing time. Combining a Barcelona cooking class with a rooftop view is our favorite way to share authentic Spanish tapas.
It was a pleasure having you in our home, and we’re glad you enjoyed the recipes and the hospitality from Alfonso and the team. See you next time!

An experience to remember! Gracious rooftop dining (weather permitting) and wonderful indoor culinary food preparation — both with amazing harbor and city views. Every tapa prepared and savored was delicious along with the lovely sangria. Alfonso is the consummate host, a great instructor and fabulous chef. Enjoyed our time in the rooftop garden, learning how to prepare our meal, dining and conversing with him. Don’t miss this unique experience!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
thanks a lot it was amazing to host you
Denise_L, Feb 2026
Great hands-on experience! Chef Alfonso welcomed us into his home, creating a vibe of just hanging out, chilling over glasses of cava, admiring the view, and making tapas with ease. Preparations were casual, chopping up some veggies for gazpacho, peeling shrimp, rolling croquets and then, it all came together for a spectacular meal!
Left with a full stomach and confidence that we can make some delicious, authentic tapas!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
It was great to host you thanks !

What an amazing, intimate experience. We were welcomed into their home to learn to cook traditional Spanish dishes, then shared them on the beautiful rooftop overlooking the water. The recipes for each dish were shared after the class. Don't hesitate to book this experience, you will not be disappointed.
Sarah_T, Jan 2026
The class was amazing! The chef was very personable and explained things well. It was very interactive and they give you all the recipes as well. The food was delicious and we had plenty of leftovers. The home was beautiful with gorgeous views. Will definitely recommend to friends!

We had such a wonderful time, a delicious meal, with a truly spectacular view! Would highly recommend this to anyone!
Shane_F, Dec 2025
This was a great experience and a highlight of our trip to Barcelona. The hosts were wonderful. You are a guest in their home and you have the opportunity to make some of the most classical Barcelona tapas dishes from scratch including Spanish Omelet, croquettes, Russian salad, prawns, sangria and more. Wonderful rooftop to sit and relax and enjoy the creations together. Have been to Barcelona many times before, but this was one of the most wonderful experiences. You will not be disappointed by these gracious hosts and their amazing food and unique experience.

Excellent workshop with a very talented chef! Also an amazing setting - overlooking the harbor in Barcelona! Beautiful!
Andrew_G, Oct 2025
This class was a highlight of our time in Barcelona! We were welcomed by chef Alfonso at his home with a glass of champagne and a table set with local ingredients that he sourced for the meal. Alfonso provided great cooking instructions and taught us about the regional dishes we were preparing. We made several tapas and a tasty sangria. After making the meal, he took us to his stunning rooftop terrace, filled with greenery and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, to enjoy the meal with fellow travelers.
This was a lovely opportunity to immerse ourselves in Spanish culture and support locals who are passionate about what they do. Highly recommended booking for a memorable experience!
Johanna_A, Oct 2025
It was very well organized and prepared, and it was great fun to cook some typical Spanish specialties together with friends and other nice guests. The flavors were truly world class and after the course, you will also receive the recipes so that you can recreate the dishes at home easily. We were satisfied!
Diane_S, Oct 2025
Wonderful experience to be invited into the host’s home. The apartment and terrace had beautiful views of the marina and barcelona! The food preparation was fun and Chef Alfonso was informative and well organized. The food variety was great and plenty to eat. Their dog Gray was friendly when he joined us after the meal preparation. Relaxing and pleasant experience for our group of four!

RobynandKent_R, Sep 2025
The highlight of our time in Barcelona. Chef Alfonso and Txema are wonderful hosts who made us feel welcome as family. Chef’s demonstrations and instructions were informative and sprinkled with a dose of Spanish humor. The food was delicious and plentiful. Nobody in the group went hungry, or could even finish all their portions! Highly recommended. Next time we are in Barcelona we will visit again!
Jeanne_A, Sep 2025
Come Hungry! It was a beautiful experience learning how to prep and cook many types of tapas. The Sangria was delicious and the company was outstanding! Highly recommend for an authentic experience!
Claudia_S, Sep 2025
Absolutely amazing! Alfonso and Chema were so friendly and hospitable! They made us feel right at home in their beautiful waterfront apartment with amazing views. We enjoyed making, eating, and drinking authentic and delicious tapas and sangria. We enjoyed petting their pet dog, Ray, and talking to their bird, Coco! Definitely an unforgettable experience and our best “booked tour” that we had in Barcelona!
