    Our host was wonderful! He shared his passion about the history of paella and tapas. While he explained the details of building a paella from the ingredients and the cooking techniques used to create a delicious seafood paella, we also took part in preparing it. The Sangria we made was delicious and also loved sharing white wine from a Perone. Would definitely recommend this!

    Grandmothers recipe
    connie_k, Apr 2024
    Marc is an engaging host, and shared his grandmother’s method of making this classic Catalan dish. We learned so much about Barcelona history and culture. The evening is in a cool industrial space with features designed by Marc.

    This cooking class with Marc is amazing! We made the best seafood paella and learned how to make it when we go home. We stayed for 3 hours eating, drinking and chatting. It was a blast. Highly recommend!

    Have you ever had one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that are so unique and special that you know you'll never forget it? That's what Mark's amazing experience is like. We felt like we were welcomed as family from the moment we arrived until the last second we left. He's an amazing host, a wonderful teacher, and a memorable cook. He weaves much more than just basic, clean ingredients into his delicious paella. He mixes in personal stories, local history, genuine love, and a smile that makes you feel like you're right at home. Yes, the food and wine are tasty and plentiful, but the creative venue, artistic space, and uplifting conversation is what makes this opportunity worth far more than the price of admission. I might never see him again but I will remember the immersion he gave us into an entire world of culture that he captures from within one steel pan.

    The group consisted of a total of 2 couples so it made for a nice environment that wasn’t too big. It was interactive but you don’t make your “own” paella. You get to assist in making it. You also get to make a tapa to curb your appetite with a glass or more of a local vino blanco. The paella was great and much better than what you would receive in many restaurants in Barcelona.

    Thanks you very much for your review. Has also very nice to jost you.

    Marc was such a nice man! He explained all aspects of paella … from the history of it to the actual preparation. The food was delicious!! His space that he works in was a great spot to experience cooking this Spanish dish with family or friends during your next trip to Barcelona.

    Mil Gracias Thomas! fue un placercompartir la experiencia contigo!
    Solo traveller welcome!
    YooJin_A, Oct 2022
    It's probably the only cooking program a solo traveller can attend since most other cooking experiences need a minimum 2person. They do lunch and dinner sessions and the location is around 20min walking distance from the entrance of Parc Guelle. The paella making class was super fun and informative. The chef Sergio, was fun to cook with and explained things really well. Took a lot of learnings out of this experience.

    Many thanks YooJin!...It was fun to share it with you...welcome anytime!
