I am posting this part of my trip report as a separate post to give it the attention it deserves. This was an absolutely fabulous way to spend an evening in an amazing city. I looked at quite a few options for cooking classes/ food tours and finally decided on The Foodie Sisters. https://www.foodiexperiencebcn.com/
I wanted an evening course with the market tour, and this fitted the bill perfectly. First of all, the space is beautiful and very centrally located, a few minutes from the Ramblas and La Bouqueria market. We met up first with our partners for the evening and had a nice stroll to the market with explanations on different Spanish ingredients.Then back to the kitchen/space for cooking.
Angels, our chef and guide, had an infectious enthusiasm and obvious love for what she was doing, as well as professional knowledge to share with us. She had prepared work stations and aprons and divided up the many tasks between us. I think everyone enjoyed the cooking, and the drinks flowed - sangria, wine, vermouth (I think). And then we all sat down together to eat our combined efforts, and enjoy the company of strangers.
This is an excellent option for travelers who want something different. It is suitable for everyone (we had a baby in our group, and 2 lone female travelers.) I think it is a great solution for people travelling solo who are sick of eating alone in restaurants while touring. Highly recommended.

You should say how many people were in the group and how much the session cost. Thanks.

There were 11 in our group but usually 10 is the maximum. They have a couple of different tours so check out the website for prices. Not cheap (around 65-70 euros) but for a 4 hour activity with a 3 course meal and plenty to drink, I think it was well worth it.

Sounds good. What dishes did your group learn to make ?

I think that is very reasonable also, given the time frame is about 4 hrs total. They seem to only have two tours, one with the market and one without.

Angels is a woman? that's an odd name, and for a woman. Angel is a common Spanish first name for a man but I've never seen such a name with an s at the end.

Angels is definitely a woman
Bedar, we prepared Sangria, Tomato bread, potato tortilla, seafood paella, and creme catalan. If you have a small group, then I think there are other options. Angels' sister handles the administration and I am sure they will answer any questions and try to accommodate requests.
