Great Foodie Team - We started with Javier taking us to the market. Fun and informative. Alba was fabulous, made exception for persons with differing taste preference. She prepared in advance to maximize our session. It was interactive, enjoyable with a few tips along the way. The kitchen was spacious, clean.and professional looking. Not to forget Albas colleague who came to do the wash up - i did not catch her name. It was tasty to enjoy eating "the fruits of our labour" I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys food.

Tapas ole - Through Carmen and Alba I have beautiful holiday memories. I would like to start by visiting the market hall and tasting hot products accompanied by historical background information. At the cooking school, we continue with an olive oil tasting. At our workstations we receive the individual tapa recipes explained and then we start cooking pleasure. Alba is a very prudent spouse and immediately on hand and helps. Thanks for the tips and recipes.

A Lovely must do Cooking class! - This tapas cooking class was absolutely wonderful. From the very moment I walked in, I felt genuinely welcomed. Carmen and Alba make a fantastic team. Carmen took us to the local market and explained so much along the way. Her energy is truly contagious, and she shares her knowledge with so much passion. After the market visit, we returned to the kitchen where everything was perfectly prepared for us. Alba had everything laid out and ready to go. At each cooking station, she calmly and clearly explained what we were going to make, with endless patience and attention. Her explanations were easy to follow, she made sure everyone could keep up, and she shared lots of valuable cooking tips along the way. The class was both super fun and very educational. We prepared an amazing variety of dishes, from gambas al pil-pil to tortilla, to toasted vermicelli with vegetables and prawns, churros, pork with Pedro Ximénez and offcourse sangria. Everything was delicious. One of the best parts was that after cooking together in such a relaxed atmosphere, we got to enjoy all the food we made. The vibe was very relaxed and welcoming, and I learned so much about Spanish cuisine. Both Carmen and Alba have beautiful stories, which made the experience even more special. A true must-do — even if you already know how to cook I will 100% come back and highly recommend this experience to everyone.

Wonderful experience with Carmen & Alba - Carmen was an absolute delight, and made the whole experience super fun, as well as providing personal recommendations for parts of the city to visit. Alba was also a great instructor, and made the cooking part of the experience a breeze. Recommended!

Excellent experience - Third time with Spain Food Sherpas (having previously done food tours in Granada and Seville) and again it was a brilliant experience. Very high quality tour company. Our guide Javi, and cooking teacher Alba were both excellent. The tour of the market, the olive oil tasting, the cooking, and most all the eating and drinking, all fantastic. Can't recommend this tour or SFS more highly. Book this or one of their other experiences, and you'll have a delightful time.

Had a nice morning - Had a very nice morning! With first a visit to the local market hall with Carmen and then with cooking an extensive lunch of tapas with Pepo. Both are chefs and very enthusiastic about food and cooking. That's nice! We did the workshop on Thursday morning in January. The group normally goes up to 16, we were lucky to be the only ones. Now there was plenty of room to do things, chat and ask questions. Afterwards I got a lot of nice tips for good non-touristy eateries.
