The experience
You arrive at a house ten minutes' walk from the beach in Barceloneta, the old fishermen's quarter. Chef Alfonso greets you with a natural lemonade or glass of champagne, then walks you through the ingredients for each tapas: what to look for, how to source them where you live, why each one matters. He trained at Barcelona's Superior School of Hotel Business and has cooked in restaurants across the city, so the recipes are built around techniques that work, not tricks that don't.
Then you cook. Alfonso guides each step, and the tapas come together in the kitchen while you work alongside him and the other participants. When they're done, you carry them out to the terrace: surrounded by plants, with views across Barcelona toward the sea. That's where you eat, where the wine or champagne flows, and where the whole point of the class becomes clear: these are dishes you can actually make, with ingredients you can actually find, and they taste like something worth the effort.
Before you leave, Alfonso emails you the full recipes, step by step, so there's no guessing when you're home trying to remember what he said about the garlic.
Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English and Spanish.
What tapas dishes will I cook in the Barcelona class?
The specific recipes change based on what's fresh in the Barceloneta market that day, so the menu varies. Chef Alfonso selects the tapas to ensure the ingredients are available where you live, making them reproducible at home rather than tied to Barcelona's markets alone.
Is the Barcelona tapas class hands-on, or do I watch the chef cook?
You cook alongside Chef Alfonso. He shows you each step and explains the technique, but you're the one preparing the dishes in the kitchen, not watching from the side.
What's included in the three-hour class?
The class includes a welcome drink (natural lemonade or champagne), all the ingredients and instruction for the tapas workshop, lunch (the tapas you cook), and wine or sangria for participants 18 and over. You also receive the recipes by email after the class ends.
Where exactly is the cooking class located in Barcelona?
The class takes place in Barceloneta, the neighborhood ten minutes' walk from the beach. Barceloneta is Barcelona's historic fishermen's quarter, and the house has a rooftop terrace with views of the city and sea.
Can I eat the tapas I cook, or is it just a lesson?
You eat everything you make. After cooking, you take the tapas to the rooftop terrace and sit down to eat them together with the other participants, along with wine, sangria, or champagne.
