I have conducted my food tastings and cooking workshops in Spain for 20 years. After all this time I am aware of nook and crannies tourist would never find on their own. My interest in the pleasurable aspects (art, architecture, gastronomy) of Spain makes me a renowned guide. I would love to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with you.
In Barcelona Food Is The Soul Of The City !
Explore the flavors of Barcelona in Old Town as I guide you on this foodie tasting walk, including a mini cooking class in my cooking workshop kitchen in Old Town.

Open Your Mind - Indulge Your Senses. A Perfect Start To Your Barcelona Visit.
Not your typical tasting tour!
As we tour La Boqueria you may choose to purchase various traditional foods both Spanish and Catalan that you will eat later in my cooking workshop kitchen. I will lead you to various traditional food choices and explain their history. (free food samples are not provided in the markets)
You decide your purchases that will be eaten in my cooking workshop kitchen by what appeals to your tastes.
The food you choose to purchase is for eating in my workshop along with the dish we cook in the mini cooking workshop.
After our visit to the world famous covered market La Boqueria we will go to my cooking workshop kitchen for a mini hands on cooking experience where, after making a traditional dish, you relax and sit down to enjoy your cooking efforts with your food purchases from La Boqueria and a gratis bottle of cava and sausages I provide.
Then we will venture out to explore another covered market in Old Town. And finally, if desired, I will lead you to the best churros con chocolate shop (with 3 flavors of chocolate) in Barcelona.
My Market Tasting Walk will give you an inside experience of the food enjoyed by locals.
