ITINERARY  Your excursion begins by meeting your chef for a visit to the world-famous La Boqueria, a fascinating marketplace that offers the freshest and most diverse selection of produce from all over Spain. Built on a site where an open-air market has existed since the 13th century, just off of the famous La Rambla street, La Boqueria offers an incredible array of colors and activity and is a must-see to discover why Spanish and Catalan Cuisine is internationally known due to its ingredients!
During the tour of the market, you will learn about local products as the chef helps you choose the freshest ingredients for your cooking lesson. After the market, you will then arrive at a prestigious cooking school for your cooking lesson, where you will learn the secrets of the best dishes in town such as seafood paella, suquet or crema catalana. You can choose to relax with a glass of wine or put on an apron and participate if you prefer! Either way you will enjoy this experience as well as the delicious meal to follow.  After lunch, you will traverse the city on a gourmet walking tour through the Gothic quarter of Barcelona! Your journey will pass by a few architectural feats including the Gothic Santa Maria Church. The Gothic Quarter is considered the heart of Barcelona and home to an abundance of tucked away gourmet cafes and shops. Our expert guide specializes in cuisine and wine during the walking tour and visits.
You will take the path of Picasso on the famous Avignon Street, where you will taste fresh Spanish cheeses at a charming local cheese shop paired with a perfect wine, stop for refreshments at the oldest venue in Barcelona for dried fruits, while watching the process first hand. This local store, specializing in roasting coffee beans and nuts for over 150 years, is still decorated with its original furniture and old wood-burning stove.
