Modernisme and chocolate – there’s no better way to start. After departing from a charming Modernista-style hotel, we’ll visit two shops: one of a chocolate brand founded at the end of the 19th century, taking us back to childhood with every bite, and another avant-garde shop brimming with imagination in every one of its confections. The tour ends with a cup of hot chocolate among the great modernista buildings on Passeig de Gràcia. Since one of the best ways to get a feel for a city is to visit its markets, our next stop will be Santa Caterina, one of the city’s 39 municipal markets, where we’ll select products for a seafood rice cooking workshop.
