The paella turned out delicious! The tapas and sangria were lovely additions as well. We left full and very satisfied with this experience!

Please do not pass up on this experience. I came directly from the airport on the metro and was able to find the location on time. The meeting... read more space is just right for a cooking demonstration and the hosts were able to incorporate everyone into the process. I was a solo traveler so this was my introduction to Barcelona and started my whole trip in the right direction. The paella was great, sangria refreshing and the desert was outstanding!

Don't search for another "paella class" in Barcelona - this is the one to do. Our host Eladi was truly a charismatic and knowledgable gentleman who made the cooking class... read more feel hands on, but you do just enough work to also relax and enjoy some down time in between certain steps. We chopped our own ingredients (vegetables) while all seafood was prepared ready for us which made it feel relatively clean and quick to prep. We even made our own sangria to enjoy with the sangria - however while it was chilling Eladi served us delicious white wine we enjoyed with a porrón and lots of laughs!
During this experience we learned about the history, styles, and meaning behind paella. With acoustic music playing in the background, we sizzled onions, cooked shrimps, stirred broths and herbs and had a wonderful experience overall. Eladi particularly made the experience stand out. I did this with my best friend, but would recommend for large groups too!

WONDERFUL. Relaxing and absolutely local experience. Great space. Lovely, knowledgeable hostess. I can safely say this (apart from Sagrada Familia and Gaudi) was the highlight of our trip to Barcelona.... read more We felt so refreshed and relaxed after this experience. I highly highly recommend doing this if you have half a day to spare. In fact make time for this. You wont regret it. My kids (11y and 8y - YES!) did a lot of cooking and chopping and totally loved it. Anna was amazing; I would do this again anyday.
