Experience Workshops in Barcelona with Withlocals

"We had a fun time drawing with Evgeniy. He was very kind and patient and made sure we were learning some drawing techniques along the way. I told him my boys loved dragons so he took us to a neat area to sketch one. Then, it was fun to wander around with him and learn about the Gothic Quarter since this was our first time in Barcelona. We enjoyed this unique experience very much!"

"Philippe offered my family a fantastic lesson in flamenco. They were beaming when they got home! Thank you for carrying out this gift, Philippe!"

"I cannot believe the drawings my 8 year old daughter and I produced it looked impossible but the step by step breakdown made me feel so capable and the final pictures were quite surprising thank you for this wonderful experience and memories for us both!"

"Before our recent trip to Barcelona I decided to look for something fun and different for my group of 8 to do. I came across the With Locals website and found a Flamenco class. I contacted Philippe to ask if he could handle a large group and he was quick to reply that he could. After speaking with the rest of my party we decided to try it out. Wow! We met Philippe at his home which has huge floor to ceiling windows and is filled with sunlight. We were greeted with a glass sangria to help loosen us up and ease any dance jitters and he began telling us the history of Flamenco. Philippe is friendly and cheerful and clearly a professional dancer. (He is also an artist as you will see from his artwork) One look at his calves and you can see the hours he’s put into his craft. The class was great fun and by the end we had laughed as much as we danced. I highly recommend this class as a fun activity for any and all age groups. Philippe is patient and kind. It was something we’ll never forget! (I can still hear him say “pasada, sevillana”) Thanks for a great afternoon Philippe! "

"Everyone goes to Parc Guell and La Familia Segrada as did I and loved them. But not everyone gets to have Flamenco lessons with Phillipe. He is the real deal and had some humor but also compliments for our lack od dancing abilities. He was interesting to talk with and learning about how dance and life imitate each other was better than churros and chocolate;). I liked seeing the neighborhood as well. Keep going all the way up the hill and you get the best view of Barcelona! Thanks Phillipe! "

"I took a class on my own , we drove together to the Sagrada Familia and we sketched the church. He was very nice and took his time and even showed me , additional spots to visit! All in all a good experience :)"

"We had a great time with Evgeniy, and all of us were able to participate, even our 8 year old daughter was able to sketch an impressive version of the Arc De Triomf quite realistically within 90 minutes. We learned a lot of techniques that we will remember and be sure to use on our own."

"Philippe was great with our kids, and was generous in sharing his local knowledge. Would definitely book again!"

"Learning Flamenco with Philippe was one of the best experiences so far! We had so much fun and we laughed a lot. It was my first time ever learning Flamenco and he was very patient and kind. He made me feel comfortable and confident to dance and truly feel the Flamenco! Thank you Philippe :) "

"We had a fabulous experience with Philippe experiencting Flamenco for the first time. He did a great job of helping us understand the dance and the story in prep for the show. He was very personable and easily got along with all of us immediately. I highly recommend Philippe."
