We had a lovely evening and had a real paella taste. I had the vegetarian one and my husband had the seafood one, we enjoyed the experience overall:)

Loved this cooking class! Eladi really knows his stuff and explains the process of making paella in a way that is both easy to follow and insightful. Looking forward to... read more trying to recreate the recipe at home!

Very fun experience! I had no idea making paella was so approachable and we’re looking forward to making it at home along with the best sangria we’ve had! We liked... read more learning about the origins of tapas, too!

Very knowledgeable host, food was delicious. We were popped onto a large booking (think this may have been accidental with automated confirmation although we had communicated with host prior to... read more arrival) so didn’t get much hands on time. I can imagine it would be a very different experience with small group - I would recommend trying to reach out to host to confirm group size before locking in the experience.

Great experience cooking Paella! I really wanted to do a cooking class in Barcelona but some are very expensive and don’t have availability. I was really pleased to find this... read more class via airbnb experiences. It offered a very authentic experience at a reasonable cost. The location is a bit further away from the city centre but personally we enjoyed that as it is good to explore local neighbourhoods in Barcelona. Eladi recommended visiting park Guell or the bunkers as they are located nearby. We had already visited the park so went to the bunkers which made for a nice day out. The class was fun and friendly and the Paella was delicious! We weren’t drinking alcohol and Eladi accommodated us by providing a great alternative to Sangria. A really lovely way to learn to cook Paella in a sociable environment.

The Paella workshop was really cool. I went there with my girlfriend and we had a great time! We were a small group, so we could really connect and learned... read more a lot about making Paella, while also just meeting some new people. All the ingredients were fresh and really tasty and the instructions were clear and easy, even for people who don’t cook that often. We really recommend this for anyone visiting Barcelona.

My 3 daughters and I went to this class and we had an excellent time. We had the extended class where we had a tour of the market to learn... read more how to pick out the various ingredients for the dish. You get a history of the dish and learn skills for a wonderful meal, including a tasty sangria. I have enjoyed making Paella many times since the class. Highly recommend giving it a try.

We met up with friends in Barcelona and decided a paella cooking class would be a fun way to spend our time. We were not disappointed! Children ranging in age... read more from13 to 22 all fully enjoyed the experience as well. It was the perfect way to celebrate our Thanksgiving dinner and we are planning to add paella to our Thanksgiving menu next year!

As a guy whose not into cooking, I was initially apprehensive about spending 3 hours of a vacation in a cooking class. Boy o boy was I wrong. Anna was... read more AWESOME, I learned about how she grew up with food specifically with a dish I liked, paella. What was just a dish I ordered at a restaurant to me before became more personal through Anna.
I had some friends who took a different cooking class from someone else the day before, they reported it was a very passive experience as they sat and watched the instructor do most of the cooking. This is definitely NOT the case with Anna's class. You will don a cooking apron and actively participate in the cooking process. Yes you will be handling knives so don't cut yourself as my friend did! After the cooking process is done, you will sit down and enjoy the creation you just made. Talking with Anna over the meal was like getting to know a new friend that is a local, we learned so much more about Barcelona, she was also interested in us and our own backgrounds as well.
I'd highly recommend booking a cooking class with Anna, if you're a small group and are flexible I'd ask if she has any open spots if you want a more intimate experience as our cooking class with our group of 4 was.
