Best Paella Class! - Hugo was our instructor/chef and he is great. Our class made two different types of paellas. We also made sangria & dessert. I’ve had several paellas and I must say that the recipe we used is delicious. They also give us the recipes so we can make it at home. It really is a great time! Highly recommend!

Very good experience - Really worth every penny. Simon was our chef/guide and he was extremely knowledgeable, personable and talented. He breaks down every aspect of the dish; how to inspect and prepare the ingredients at the market, how to cook the dish correctly and the origins of the dish. You also learn how to make traditional Spanish sangria (which there is plenty you can drink) and an almond cake from scratch. Such a great experience would truly recommend!

Covered a lot in a short amount of time - The whole experience was relaxed, everyone felt included and skills were taught about cleaning fish and seafood that I'd never experience before. We toured the market shopping for the ingredients for our paella and then returned for the prep and cooking. Every step was organized to include each person ( 11 in our group) and instructions were clearly given with questions answered often. We made sangria, paella and an almond cake in 2 hours and some odd minutes. We also ate the meal. Pretty well handled to accomplish that much in a short amount of time.

Brilliant lunch activity - Great trip to market to buy the ingredients for the paella ! Tapas and sangria to start and then all hands on deck to cook the paella itself. Had chicken instead of seafood and very accommodating. Finished by more sangria and pudding!
