0115 9404 303School Food Technology trip to Barcelona and Costa Brava
Lying at the heart of the Costa Brava, Barcelona is a great place for exploring the food and cuisine of the region.
Stroll through La Rambla, climb the towers of the Sagrada Familia and try out some of the many interesting culinary experiences that we have to offer. Visit the famous wineries of the Pinedes region, a local catering school or take a class in making “tapas” and other Spanish specialities. Many groups stay at one of the coastal resorts Calella, Lloret de Mar, Blanes or Tossa de Mar, if you do why not spend a day at Port Aventura or Waterworld?
