Things to do in Barcelona, Catalonia: The Best Food & Drink

August 31, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

When in Barcelona, you absolutely must take the time to have the art of tapas making taught to you by Anna and her daughter Nuria. We could not be more pleased by their warmth and knowledge of Catalan cuisine. You will come away from the class with a better understanding of Spanish cooking, improved cooking skills and a full stomach from the meal you just cooked and ate. This is a must try experience!

We had a great evening at a great location and at the same time we learnt some new recipes. The evening was both a great team activity and a nice food experience, thanks to all the staff who helped make this a memorable evening.

Born to Cook Barcelona

Born to Cook is a hands-on cooking workshop located in the romantic El Born neighborhood, one of the city’s oldest quarters. We offer cooking classes and market tours for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the flavors of Catalan cuisine. Our trained chefs are excited to show you the secret’s of the city’s markets: where to buy the freshest fish, how to tell if a vendor is swindling you, which stall sells the freshest tomatoes. Once you’ve shopped, it’s off to the cooking school (located in the family home of Christopher Columbus!) for paella making lessons and professional chef’s tricks for an authentic Spanish meal. We also offer private classes. Contact us for more information.

This was an all around amazing experience! We toured two local Mercats learning where chefs and locals shop, picked up foods for tasting and making our appetizers and paella. Valerio was an excellent tour guide for the markets and Nuria was a wonderful chef helping us prepare 3 appetizers, paella and Crema Catalan for dessert. We learned so much in a fun, relaxing environment with wine and Cava too! We highly recommend this cooking class! Thank you for a fabulous experience!
