Highly recommend this experience - It was a fantastic experience and felt more authentic than a generic tour! We went on. A Sunday so there was no market visit. It started out with two delicious tapas and making the sangria. Sangria was unlimited and tasted great. We participated in making the paella and had breaks for sangria and chatting with guests. It was great to talk to fellow travelers. The paella we made was absolutely delicious!!! The instructor made a cake in front of us (it was 4 ingredients, took a couple minutes) and we tried it at the end and it was also delicious!! Kitchen was very clean. Staff was organized. Would recommend.

Fun and delicious afternoon - Gabriel was a wonderful host! He explained the food and cooking process well, but not so over detailed that you lost interest. I attended solo, but a nice group of all ages (families and couples.) Learned a few food prep techniques (even if not making paella.) The sangria, tapas, paella, and dessert were all tasty. Fun group of people to enjoy it with. Thanks Gabriel!

Sangria and paella-making class was superb! - Great class - 10 out of 10!!! Husband and I really enjoyed the sangria, tapas, and paella-making experience. We made the seafood paella (go Team Squid!), which included cleaning and deconstructing squid, shrimp, mussels and clams. Chef Alberto was fabulous guiding us through the process, and Paloma had more sangria waiting for us while the paella was cooking.

Great Experience and Handled Food Allergies Well - Simon did a remarkable job with our large group. Two of our teens had food allergies, and he completely worked around it for them so that they felt included. Highly recommend!

Worth the experience - The paella cooking class was excellent. Chef Gabrielle was instructive and funny and the making of everything from the sangria to the dessert was fun. The paella came out as the best we’ve had to date.

Family Fun! - We loved this paella making class so much we took it twice! We brought our son, daughter-in-law, and two teenage gransons on our second Barcelona trip. Our chef, Alberto, was fabulous! What a fun learning experience! And the sangria, paella, and orange cake dessert was all delicious!
