About this tour

You'll start with a market walk through La Boqueria alongside your chef, then move to hands-on preparation of each dish.

What to expect

You'll meet your chef and head first to La Boqueria market to source ingredients and understand what makes Spanish cooking tick—the quality of seasonal produce matters here. Back in the kitchen, you'll get hands on with three dishes, guided step-by-step through each technique. There's downtime between courses, often filled with wine and talk. Once cooking wraps, you move to the dining table where ten small tapas plates arrive: anchovies, croquettes, Manchego, octopus, bravas potatoes and others. Each comes with context about its place in Spanish eating culture. Then your three cooked dishes follow, served properly, with beer, wine and coffee.
