Team cooking challenge: MasterChef
One of the most appealing aspects of travelling abroad is discovering your destinations’s gastronomy. Organising a team building activity in a country such as Spain, known worldwide for its rich culinary culture, is one of the most rewarding experiences you can provide to your team all the while putting them to the test in our challenge. We are able to organise this activity in a number of locations across Spain including the most popular destinations Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, etc. We originally created the event in Seville, capital of Andalusia in the South of Spain and a perfect location to organise a gastronomic team building activity.
Based on the famous television show MasterChef, Es.cultura’s own “Maestro Chef” cooking corporate event puts its participants to the test in a series of timed cook-off events. Participants are divided into teams and need to learn how to cook Spanish tapas and specialities in a limited amount of time. The clock is ticking, are you ready to try our gastronomic team building activity? Why not choose this activity for your team building in Barcelona, or include it in your incentive travel to Barcelona?

Madrid of the Austrias will help you brush up on your knowledge of the Spanish capital!

Not to mention the great weather conditions that we have in Spain, which allow us to organise our outdoor activities at most times of the year. Simply choose your destination, and our team will be at hand to organise a number of beach activities: sporting activities (football and beach volley tournaments), aquatic activities (sailing, diving, snorkelling, jet-skiing, paddle surf, pedalboats, etc.), zumba classes on the beach… everything to guarantee a highly enjoyable day of team building in Spain!
