Good to know
This suits people who enjoy cooking, wine, and Spanish food culture, and who want hands-on involvement rather than a lecture. You don't need prior cooking experience. The market tour happens first, so be prepared for crowds and busy surroundings—La Boqueria is a major tourist attraction. The wine component is substantial (unlimited throughout), so factor that into your day and transport plans. Prams and service animals are welcome. Tips are not included in the price. Public transport is nearby if you need it. The class involves standing and some physical movement in the kitchen.
