Best cooking class in Barcelona!

Steven_I, Apr 2025

Fantastic! The experience of going through a local market, meeting the artisans, and snacking on delicious bites was great. We learned about the local culture a well as recommendations for other places to visit while in Barcelona. Stefano and Veronique were gracious hosts. The class was well laid out and very hands on, which was amazing. Couldn't have had a better time! We hope all cooking experiences can be like this one!

Wonderful Experience!

Tracy_T, Oct 2022

We were on a cruise with family with a stop in Almeria for one day. My husband, sister and I wanted to do something a little "different", and I'm so glad I booked this cooking class with Juan. It was so much fun learning to make authentic paella, but meeting Juan and his wife was the best part! I highly recommend doing this if you are ever in Almeria.

Response from Host, May 2025

We agree that connecting with locals over food is one of the most meaningful and memorable parts of travel! It looks like your review may have been posted to our Barcelona host's profile by mistake, but no worries - we’re just so grateful you took the time to share your experience.

Amazing experience and experience!!

Amazing experience with Juan as our chef teacher and host! We met his family in person at their apartment in Almería, and they made us feel so welcome. You can tell he is passionate about food, stories, and sharing cooking skills, local flavors, and traditional food. Fantastic experience - it was truly a highlight of our visit to the area. Any class with Juan would be so fun, whether online or in person. Thank you again!!
