Paella Cooking Class

Shop the market like a local, cook with a professional chef, and sit down to the best lunch in Barcelona — the one you made yourself.

Start at La Boqueria Market, where your chef picks the day's freshest ingredients with you, then head to the kitchen and get your hands dirty. Paella, tapas, crema catalana: you'll cook the real thing, step by step, and feast on it together with local wine. You leave full, and with the recipes to prove it back home.

“We had such an incredible time learning how to make paella! Our host was wonderful, everyone had turns prepping and cooking. The market stop to gather ingredients was also informative and super fun. Highly recommend.”

Sail, Swim & Tapas

Two and a half hours of open sea, a swim straight off the boat and a glass of cava in your hand. The Barcelona you don't see from the beach.

At half past one you leave Port Olímpic under sail, and within minutes the city is behind you — the beaches, the hills, the whole skyline folding into the coastline. At the swimming spot everything goes quiet, the inflatables come out and the Mediterranean is yours for a while. Back on deck a spread of tapas is waiting — gazpacho, Spanish omelette, cheese, fuet — along with two drinks of your choice, from cava and wine to beer and juice, plus lemon water all the way through. There's a bar on board if you fancy anything else.

Sailboat at sea Deck with tapas and drinks
  • 2.5 hours sailing from Port Olímpic
  • Swimming stop with inflatables
  • Tapas served on board
  • Two drinks included (cava, wine, beer, soft drinks, juices)
  • Lemon water throughout the trip
  • Check-in 13:00 · departure 13:30 · back by 16:00

History & Tapas Tour

Barcelona’s food story doesn’t begin on La Rambla. It begins a few streets away, under the rippling coloured roof of Santa Caterina — the market where the neighbourhood does its shopping, built over the ruins of a medieval convent.

From there you head into the old town for a stop at a classic tapas bar, the kind with no English menu, where more plates and a glass of wine or vermouth come with the stories behind the streets you’ve just walked.

Tapas e bevande Atmosfera da bar locale
  • Small group with a local guide
  • Mercat de Santa Caterina — the locals’ market, not the tourist one
  • Tapas tasting inside the market, among the stalls
  • A second stop at a classic tapas bar in the old town
  • All food and drinks included
  • Around 2.5–3 hours

Authentic Flamenco Night

Authentic Flamenco Night

Thirty seats, one guitar, and the raw power of real flamenco; five minutes from the Ramblas, a world away from the tourist shows.

Forget the big commercial tablaos. This is flamenco the way it was meant to be felt: an intimate 30-seat venue on Consell de Cent where the dancer's heels strike close enough to feel the floor tremble. An hour and half of live guitar, song and dance that need no translation.

Flamenco dancer on stage Intimate flamenco venue
  • Intimate venue (30 seats) — Consell de Cent, 215
  • Shows at 18:00 · 19:30 · 21:00
  • A visit to the Guitar Museum is included.
  • Metro L1 Urgell, 5 min walk
From 45€ per person

“Intimate, intense and unique experience lasting approximately 1hr in a small room with beautiful acoustics. Exceptionally talented musicians, and dancers. All topped off with delicious tapas and choice of drink - what could be better. Highly recommend checking out these incredible artists.”
