Wonderful tapas class - We had a fantastic cooking class with Lola at her cooking studio right near the local market. The dishes we made were unique, easy to make and super delicious. We will definitely try them again at home. The black rice with squid was my favorite. She was also very informative and taught us a lot about Spanish cooking. We highly recommend this class.

A Must-Do in Madrid - One of our best experiences in Madrid by far. If you enjoy learning about Spanish culture through food, this activity is for you. Lola provides high quality, local ingredients that YOU use to prepare iconic Spanish dishes. She shows you techniques and walks you through things you may have never done before. Possibly the best authentic cooking class that isn’t “touristy” in the city. Highly recommend and would 100% do it again.

Incredible Cooking Class - My boyfriend and I had the best time during this class. It was a highlight of our trip! Lóleo was very educational and personable. She did a great job including everyone in the class and answering all of the questions we had! We especially loved the black rice but all of the dishes we made were delicious. Thank you Lóleo!
