Best Paella in Barca - My friend and I had a phenomenal time at this class! We had paella at multiple meals while in Barcelona for 6 days and none could even begin to compare to what we made in class. Maria was our chef and did a wonderful job of including everyone, explaining the process, and making the cooking feel accessible. I also appreciated that she and Lola double checked all that we did to make sure the food was being made safely. I would recommend the class to anyone traveling to Barcelona.
