Absolutely amazing...

Daryl_B, Apr 2026

Absolutely amazing experience. Joy was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The jamón was delicious and paired with cava and wine. You will not leave hungry or thirsty!

A must-do experience!

Diego walked us through the different meats and was fun and engaging, even for my wife who isn't a fan of pork. Diego's passion was infectious and engaging, and we had a great time! It felt like a chat with an old friend as much as an educational experience. It was probably the most fun thing we did in Barcelona!

What a joy to read your words! Diego’s greatest gift is sharing his passion in a way that feels both natural and personal, so it touches us deeply to know you felt like chatting with an old friend. Moments like these are exactly what we hope to create! ✨ —The Jamón Experience Team

Great job Cintia!

Cintia was the best! So sweet and helpful. Learned quite a few new things. Would have been better if there was a separate room for the class tho. A little hard to hear sometimes because of the noise.
