Private Barcelona Market Tour & Paella Cooking Class with Josh

Great experience, one of the highlights of our trip

Hard to choose a favorite part! My friends loved the market tour where Chef Josh took us to a local market frequented by locals (not the big touristy one) where he personally knew the food vendors and gave us fascinating history on not just the local food itself but on the market system in Barcelona as a whole. After buying fresh seafood at the market, we took a short walk to his kitchen where we had an amazing afternoon having him walk us through the preparation and steps to making an authentic paella. (I’m not great in the kitchen but even I was able to contribute with his guidance.) The dining room was a beautiful space and a wonderful backdrop to the meal we’d just made. We couldn’t believe how delicious our paella was. And we all now have such a greater appreciation for the dish now that we experienced for ourselves how much care and patience goes into it! Chef Josh’s enthusiasm and breadth of knowledge about the local culture (especially the food) made the experience even more enjoyable! We booked this for a special occasion (my friend’s bachelorette) but I would recommend this class to anyone visiting Barcelona who wants a fun and delicious food-centric experience in Barcelona.
