What To Expect

Learn how to prepare the most traditional pintxos (tapas) of Basque country in this 100% hands-on cooking class. You will be preparing between 4 local pintxos and our team will provide dessert and some local cheeses and charcuteries to complement the meal. The whole meal will be eaten after the class so you don´t need to think of food afterwards.

The class will be taking place in our recently opened cooking school at 5 minutes walking distance from The Guggenheim Museum. The school is very spacious and luminous, with a large island and a comfortable seated space to enjoy the meal that you prepare.

We used to run the classes in another location but since the pandemic we decided to start again in a walking distance venue to all the main hotels and b&b of Bilbao!

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
