EatWith locals program

A program called EatWith offers travelers to Spain, Israel and Brazil the chance to book meals with local hosts.

On the website, visitors can browse available hosts (at press time, 117 in Spain, 70 in Israel and four in Brazil) and see verified photos of meals hosts have prepared in the past.

Meals range in size, price, capacity and duration. In Spain, events have varied from vermouth and tapas on a terrace for $13 per person to a cooking class that included a trip to Barcelona’s Boqueria market for $117 per guest.
