One of the most meaningful ways to connect with a culture is through its food. So, during my recent trip to Barcelona, Spain, I set aside a day of sightseeing to attend a hands-on cooking class at the Barcelona Cooking School. Nestled just off Las Ramblas (the famous pedestrian street), and steps from the bustling Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, the school offers a warm, welcoming introduction to Catalan and Spanish cuisine for travelers and food lovers.
