At Gourmand Breaks we frequently organize for our guests la Boqueria market guided visits, followed by private cooking classes with our chef. Located in the back of la Boqueria is the remarkable collection of Llorenç Petrás: baskets and baskets of gourmet mushrooms with different sizes, colors smells and flavours from all over the world. His stand, which has earned him the nickname “wizard of mushrooms,” is one of the best of its kind in Europe.

And now that we’re entering the best season for mushrooms—at the end of summer and beginning of fall—his collection is at the height of its diversity. Petrás’s humble stall is unique because he still sells his product in person, even though he’s made unknown fortunes selling to luxury clients in both London and Paris.

On our Culinary Excursion to La Boqueria, we make sure you don’t miss it!
