Carolina lives in a charming Catalan apartment conveniently located one block away from a major subway line in the trendy neighborhood of L’Eixample. She is a holistic dietician who helps people discover alternative foods that improve their health. She studied natural foods and their benefits and believes that what you eat can make a big difference in how you feel. Carolina started cooking as a young girl and now cooks almost every day for herself and her husband. One of her favorite things to do is to recreate in her kitchen interesting dishes that she tries at restaurants. She loves traveling and is keen to get to know a place through its food. Originally from Argentina, Carolina has lived in Spain for almost two decades and she and her husband Victor love to share the food and culture of their region with travelers. Carolina’s cuisine would best appeal to travelers seeking healthy alternatives and a thoughtful sourcing and preparation of local foods. Meet your host Carolina and her husband Victor (if you choose an evening experience) at their typical Catalan apartment with exposed brick and beams. They will welcome you with a drink as you sit in their living room, sharing stories about your day while listening to their favorite music. You will then join your hosts at their dining table to enjoy a healthy and authentic, organic Spanish and Catalan meal. Your meal will include an appetizer like pan con tomate with jamon Iberico, olives and goat cheese followed by a main course of seafood such as squid poached in olive oil and lemon served with asparagus and celeriac, or mussels steamed with white wine and herbs served with arugula salad. Your meal will conclude with a dessert of dairy-free homemade ice-cream or mel i mato (a Catalan dessert made from mato cheese drizzled with eucalyptus honey and nuts). If you book a cooking experience, join Carolina in their small kitchen and learn to cook a healthy and authentic Spanish meal. Your hands-on cooking class will last about 1.5 hours during which you will learn to make a regional appetizer, a main and a side dish from scratch. Carolina also offers an optional market tour add-on of La Boqueria.

Featured Destinations

Barcelona

Barcelona, the self-confident and progressive capital of Spain, is a tremendous place to be. Though it boasts outstanding Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings, and some great museums – most notably those dedicated to Picasso and Catalan art – it is above all a place where there's enjoyment simply in walking the streets, stopping in at bars and cafés, drinking in the atmosphere. A thriving port and the most prosperous commercial centre in Spain, it has a sophistication and cultural dynamism way ahead of the rest of the country. In part this reflects the city's proximity to France, whose influence is apparent in the elegant boulevards and imaginative cooking. But Barcelona has also evolved an individual and eclectic cultural identity, most perfectly and eccentrically expressed in the architecture of Antoni Gaudí. Scattered as Barcelona's main sights may be, the greatest concentration of interest is around the old town (La Ciutat Vella). These cramped streets above the harbor are easily manageable, and far more enjoyable, on foot. Start, as everyone else does, with the Ramblas.
