Don’t be put off by the location or the non descript entrance and the construction going on inside. When we visited we did wonder what we were walking into as... read more the venue appeared to be under complete renovation at the time. There are stairs leading down to the lower level so be warned that guests with mobility issues might struggle. BUT once you are inside Eladi is a perfect host! Thoughtful, informative, entertaining and inclusive. Everyone had a wonderful time and we had a family group aged 6 years to 83 years old! Highly recommend this authentic and interactive activity in Barcelona. We even had Spanish friends come with us and they loved it too!

WONDERFUL. Relaxing and absolutely local experience. Great space. Lovely, knowledgeable hostess. I can safely say this (apart from Sagrada Familia and Gaudi) was the highlight of our trip to Barcelona.... read more We felt so refreshed and relaxed after this experience. I highly highly recommend doing this if you have half a day to spare. In fact make time for this. You wont regret it. My kids (11y and 8y - YES!) did a lot of cooking and chopping and totally loved it. Anna was amazing; I would do this again anyday.
