What to expect
Step into the kitchen at Mescladís, a nonprofit Barcelona restaurant where food connects people and creates opportunities. With guidance from an expert local chef, you’ll prepare three Catalan favorites: fresh gazpacho, traditional paella (with meat or vegetarian), and silky crema catalana. Along the way, you’ll use seasonal, sustainable ingredients, learn tips you can take home, and experience the unique energy of a slow-food kitchen.
Your class also supports Mescladís’ mission to provide people from marginalized communities, such as refugees, free hands-on training that opens doors to careers in hospitality.
After cooking, sit down with your fellow travelers for a family-friendly meal. It's a heartwarming, unforgettable taste of Barcelona’s culture and spirit.
