Barcelona Cooking Adventure - I really loved this class - I learned a lot about cooking paella and also had a great time drinking sangria, eating paella and meeting some fellow travelers. The 3-hr class went by very quickly and even felt a little rushed at the end. I would definitely sign up for another course with the “GAB LAB”!

Looking for something new/different...here's an excellent choice. - If you've done most of the sights and are tired of shopping, join a group and learn to make paella! This experience capped off our 6-night stay and third visit ti Barcelona where we wanted to do something different. Our chef-led experience was fun and we mingled with participants from all over the world. There's no better brotherhood than enjoying a meal you prepared with your new friends. I highly recommend this experience.

Wonderful family cooking experience - This was a great family experience. We were a family of six and Nestor was a great guide to show us how to deal with certain food items (squid, shrimp, clams, mussels, etc.). Very informative and fun. We even were able to have non-alcoholic sangria which was cool for our family (the others made the alcoholic version). I must say that we all loved the almond cake at the end and I’m not a huge fan of almond cake. Rey good activity to do with friends or family.

Great Experience for Everyone! - This was such an eye opening & fun experience! From shopping the ingredients to the final dish, we learned so much about the food we prepared and some trade secrets along the way. Hugo & Company were the perfect team to make sure we had a great experience. Vibrant, patient and passionate about the work he’s doing. We will be back and bring family with us next time. This was our anniversary trip. We highly recommend this tour!
