Spend 45 minutes at Torrons Vicens on La Rambla learning how Catalan turrón and chocolate are made. Guides such as Alexandra, Chelsea, and Martina lead tastings of about eight sweets, followed by hot chocolate or horchata. Expect video displays, local ingredients, and a shop visit.
“Very interesting to learn about the history of the chocolatier house and the nuga of nugas.”
At Kina Chocolates in Barcelona, you will roast, peel, grind, and taste cacao before making your own chocolate bar. Instructors including Oscar, Renee, and Franklin explain chocolate’s history, farming, and bean-to-bar craft in English or Spanish. The small, wheelchair-accessible workshop lasts two hours.
“Great - informative & hands on. Oscar was friendly, fluent & willing to field all my questions. Gave me an appreciation of what chocolate goes through & how to work with cocoa pods.”
Pick a city, a coastline or a kitchen.
