Fun Family Cooking in Barcelona - My husband and I did this as a private class with our two kids, ages 7 and 11. Gabriel was very personal and fun and has a built a wonderful business. We enjoyed the walk to the market to buy the food, the hands on experience and delicious final product. We loved learning about how to clean and cut the calamari and prepare the paella for the best taste. He had a modified sangria for the kids as well without alcohol. I highly recommend this if your family is into hands on classes.

A Must Do! - This was one of our favorite activities! A must do when in Barcelona. We enjoyed having just our family participate. (When booking, the market is not open on Sundays but we were aware of this and it didn’t take away from our experience.) Bebe was amazing and made the class so much fun! Ingredients were fresh and flavorful! Would book again!

Family paella class! - An unbeatable experience. I'm a tourist in Spain with my family, and it was the best paella I've ever had in this country. The children participated in the preparation, and the service is unique. I recommend coming to Barcelona and not skipping this moment with your family. Thanks Gabo and Raquel. Blessings!
