About this tour
A three-hour rooftop cooking class where you'll learn to make Spanish tapas and sangria from a local chef in Barcelona's Barceloneta neighbourhood. You'll work with fresh ingredients sourced daily from the market, master recipes designed to be repeatable at home, and eat what you've made on a plant-lined terrace overlooking the city. Best suited to food lovers keen to pick up practical skills they can use straightaway.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a house in Barceloneta, a short walk from the beach, and head to the rooftop terrace. The chef will walk you through each tapas recipe one at a time, explaining techniques and ingredient choices so the dishes are practical to recreate. You'll prep and cook as a group, then sit down on the terrace to eat what you've made, paired with sangria you've prepared together.
Throughout the session, the chef emphasises using ingredients that are easy to find wherever you live, not obscure Spanish specialities. The whole experience runs three hours; timing and exact recipe count will depend on group size and pace, but expect hands-on cooking for roughly two hours and eating for the remainder.

Good to know
This suits food enthusiasts who want practical, repeatable recipes rather than fine dining theory. You'll need basic kitchen confidence but no prior experience is required. It's a strong fit if you want to impress friends and family with Spanish food at home. The rooftop setting is pleasant but weather-dependent; summer heat or rain may affect comfort. Alcohol is included but only for participants 18+, so note that if you're booking for a younger group. Check whether the group size is capped—a very large group will slow down hands-on cooking time. The class runs three hours; arrive with an appetite and allow time to walk to the location. Drinks and lunch are included; no hidden costs flagged.
