5/26/2023This was such a highlight of my very brief time in Barcelona! The class moved at such an easy, smooth pace that the two hours flew by and the chef... read more (Ivan?) was so personable and informative along the way. Everyone got to participate in the process and get their photo ops, and the food and sangria were some of the best I've had in Spain overall. My only two small complaints would be they moved the class last minute from 4pm to noon with only an hour and a half notice - which thankfully happened to work out, but would have been really unfortunate for some who may not have had the flexibility. The other thing was the room got veryyyy warm about midway through the class due to the cooking. Everyone was pretty toasty and mentioning it so I would recommend either opening doors/windows or keeping the AC or a fan running while things are being cooked as it distracted from the experience a bit. Otherwise, would still recommend everyone book this, you absolutely won't regret it. :)
