# Boqueria Market Tour, Paella Cooking Class, Sangria & Tapas

**Guidekin's take:** A three hour paella class capped at twelve people, starting with a Boqueria market visit and built around a broth the school simmers for twenty hours, with free flowing sangria, cava and wine. On Sundays and bank holidays the market is closed and you meet at the cooking school instead. 4.98 from 303 reviews.
