Sagrada Familia and Park Güell Tour

This tour will introduce you to the work of Barcelona’s most renowned architect and visionary, Antoni Gaudi.
Among these is probably his most recognized work the Sagrada Familia cathedral. You will see the inside of this masterpiece, started in 1882 when Gaudi was just 30 and is still under construction today.

The Workshop will end with a 5 course lunch at the cooking school, made by the group!

The group will depart from the hotel at 5:00pm sharp, and head directly to the cooking school (or meet at the Born to Cook school by 5:30pm). For the dinner session, the group will be doing an olive oil and cheese tasting instead of the market tour. The Workshop will end with a 5 course dinner at the cooking school, made by the group!

For both workshops, beverages will be included in a self-service format: white wine, red wine, beer, soft drinks, and water.

Due to busing restrictions in the Gothic Quarter we are unable to provide transport to/from the cooking school. You may choose to take a taxi and provide them the address and they will take you to the closest stop near the school/market. Taxis are able to get closer than buses.
