We had so much fun doing this cooking class with our kids and meeting the other guests. We enjoyed hearing some of the history of paella and tapas. The food... read more and sangria were delicious. Highly recommend!

5/17/2023I was really looking forward to taking this class with Eladi. Last year i took a similar class and it was amazing. So after reading these reviews I knew this... read more would be one for my family to love. Instead it felt as though the class was unplanned, unorganized and lack entertainment. Our instructor was not engaging and left the room in 30-45 increments twice. In fact, of the two hours, our instructor was only their and present with the class for 20minutes. The food was subpar, the sangria was awful and lack of engagement was not what I expected. I would not recommend this class if you can’t guarantee your instructor

The food, location, and presentation were great. I really learned some new skills that I will use. Much better than just ordering and eating paella.

11/03/2023This was actually a really enjoyable experience, I had a great time. I would suggest packing light because there's quite an uphill walk to get to the location if you're... read more taking the metro.

10/16/2023This paella making experience was great! We got to make traditional seafood paella & sangria while talking and getting to know people who were also visiting Barcelona. The host was... read more awesome & very knowledgeable and of course the paella was delicious!!!
Only crtitic I would have was that it was a large group of people (about 20 of us & one instructor) so if you are looking for a more intimate setting where you can be involved in every step of the cooking experience this may not be for you. It was perfect for us though!!!
Would definitely recommend!! And can’t wait to try and recreate this back home!Casey

2/02/2024This is an absolute MUST!!! It was fantastic! We had the best time, we felt so welcomed. We only had a group of 4 which was great but if there... read more were more people I could imagine how lively it would be! Definitely something to do when I’m Barcelona!

10/12/2023A really fun must-do for first timers in Barcelona with an interest in cooking! Eladi took time to explain the history of Paella and its cultural value. We each contributed... read more to the dishes, then enjoyed them together. It was a very fun and relaxing evening!

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!

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.
