The route
Butter and chocolate cookie workshop at the Museu de la Xocolata
Two things that a six-year-old thinks are for grown-ups: making real cookies with chocolate and having dinner somewhere where they then dance flamenco. Between the two, twenty minutes of Gòtic backstreets.
The afternoon, step by step
13:30 · Bar del Pla. On Carrer de Montcada, six minutes from the museum. Tapas to share: the children choose and the grown-ups save themselves for dinner.
15:30 · Museu de la Xocolata. On Carrer del Comerç, in the Born. The butter and chocolate cookie workshop lasts an hour and a half and includes entry to the museum, which you can see before or after. Under-16s come with an adult, and that adult also buys a workshop place: you cook together. Choose the session on the museum's online shop, where the times appear.
17:30 · Walk to the Rambla. Cross Via Laietana by Carrer de la Princesa and go down through the Gòtic to the Rambla. It is about twenty minutes without hurry.
18:00 · Dinner at the Tablao Cordobés. The first sitting is the one that works best with children: dinner at 18:00 and show at 19:15, about 70 minutes straight through without an interval. With tapas, €72; with buffet and drink, €82. There is a children's menu and gluten-free, vegan or halal options if you let them know.
20:30 · Metro at Liceu. The L3 is at the door.
What to know about the tablao
It admits children from age 4, but asks that they sit through the show quietly. If yours does not do sitting still, leave dinner with a show for when they are a year or two older and keep the workshop.

When to go
When to go to Barcelona
Monday to Saturday, which is when Bar del Pla publishes its hours; the Tablao Cordobés serves dinner every day and the museum sells its workshop sessions on its online shop. In cold or rainy weather it is a good plan because everything is indoors.
