What To Expect

Mercat de la Boqueria (Pass By)

Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, commonly known as La Boqueria, is Barcelona’s oldest and most iconic food market, with origins dating back to the 13th century. Located at La Rambla, 91, in the heart of the city, this bustling market is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere, colorful displays, and wide variety of fresh local produce, especially seafood. As part of the experience, participants will enjoy a guided tour of the market led by a professional chef, who will explain the key ingredients of Spanish and Catalan cuisine while selecting fresh items for the day's paella preparation.

Located just off Las Ramblas, it blends medieval charm with modern energy. Guests will enjoy a guided walk through this iconic neighborhood before arriving at a private dining room with an open kitchen nearby. Here, you'll take part in a hands-on culinary workshop: enjoy tapas tasting, prepare pan con tomate and pintxos, mix your own sangría, and watch a live paella de marisco demonstration.
