About this tour

You'll arrive to find aprons and cooking tools ready. The session opens with the sangria workshop—you'll mix the drink step by step while learning its cultural roots.

Between cooking tasks, you'll pause to taste the three craft beers paired with the artisan board of cured meats, cheese, bread and olives. A short guided walk nearby rounds out the three hours, pointing out local gems and sharing Barcelona stories before you head off with your recipes.
