About this tour

Learn to cook paella from scratch using a family recipe passed down through generations, set in a Barcelona rooftop kitchen with views across the city. Over two and a half hours, you'll master the iconic rice dish, prepare sangria, and craft Catalan cream whilst working alongside your host. The meal becomes dinner itself—you'll eat what you've cooked alongside wine and water, then leave with written recipes to recreate the experience at home.

What to expect

You'll arrive at a rooftop kitchen where your host walks you through each component of the meal. Start with paella—rice, stock, seafood, and technique all covered methodically so you understand the process, not just follow instructions blindly. Next, you'll blend and chill the Catalan cream, then prepare sangria using the family approach. Once everything's ready, you sit down together and eat what you've made, with wine and water flowing. The pace is unhurried; this isn't a rushed demonstration but a genuine cooking session where mistakes happen and adjustments are made.
