Friends and I just experienced the most wonderful Market visit followed by a fabulous cooking class at the Pencil & Fork in La Coruna Spain. Our hosts were the owners, David and Ana, who were delightful, insightful, and most enjoyable. The visit to the three story market within a few block of their location was so fascinating. The selection of fresh fish and seafood was limitless, as well as meats, cheeses and bakery. After David selected the best ingredients, we returned to their shop to prepare a delicious lunch. We were on a Celebrity cruise of Spain and France, and this was the highlight of our trip. The Pencil & Fork was a 10 minute taxi ride (about $6) from the port. The place is charming and spotless. The seafood lunch was simple to prepare and delicious to eat, accompanied by wine. And after the 4 hour experience, David and Ana suggested other areas of the city to explore (they are just blocks for the sea). If you are ever in this area I highly recommend this experience.

We have a fantastic time with David and Ana. There were 6 people at the event. It started off with a lovely tour of a local fish, met and veg market where David bought the items we were to cook. Fantastic to visit local places which ordinarily you miss when travelling in a place for only 1 day. We cooked delicious food and lovely to meet the other people. The place is beautifully decorated, generous with the wine and food was delicious. A really good couple of hours and great value for money.

Arrived at their business, Pencil & Fork, and were immediately greeted by David & Anna and offered coffee. After we enjoyed the coffee, headed to the Market with David and he showed us thru all the floors, discussed the type of seafood he was purchasing, as well as cheeses, etc. for our meal. After the purchases. Headed back to their great kitchen, and we began to cook! My husband (another Dave) began preparing appetizers while Anna taught me how to make an Almond Cake with only four ingredients. Had such a relaxing and fun time getting to know them and as well as learn about cooking Paella and La Coruna area. All the food and drink was wonderful (even my cake!). Would definitely take any class they are offering if we ever come back to the area. HIGHLY recommend. Best Viator experience ever!

Loved everything about this experience. David and Anna were the most gracious hosts in their beautiful shop. The food market was fascinating! We all participated in making a wonderful paella lunch and almond cake for dessert. It was delicious. This is a must do while in La Coruna.

A great cooking instruction and far and away the most educational trip to a central market.
David and Ana are charming hosts

This excursion is hosted by Ana and David - 2 of the nicest people you will ever meet. Their shop is called pencil and fork b/c they believe anything could be taught through food and cooking.
We started our excursion w/ a short walk to the public market and selected all of our ingredients that were in season. Then we started to cook altogether. Everyone had a different role. The apps were mussels in white wine, steamed cockles, prawns, bread w/ melted cheese, incredible scallops, ham. The main course was a spin on paella. They will tell you the story of true paella w/ rabbit. Then we had the most delicious almond cake w/ excellent coffee that my son made. An authentic , fabulous experience - then we walked along the beach to get back to the ship. The highlight of our trip so far!!!
