This experience is very basic for anyone who has a reasonable background in cooking. The tapas (which was basically old bread scraped with garlic and tomato and a single... read more slice of cheese and jamon), sangria (a tiny amount of fruit cut by a group of 5 collaboratively) and the communal paella cooked over a single burner was not enough food to feed our family (2 adults and 3 children). For this price point, I expect to make individual paella dishes for each person, each participant chopping their own vegetables and has their own burner. The broth was premade - no attempt to show us how to make the broth (which has all the flavor) was made. Maybe we would have been happier if we had unlimited wine during the entire class, but even the sangria quantity was limited to one single glass. The knowledge acquired and food/beverage was not worth the 275USD for 2h, which started late. Would not recommend. The nearby town is charming though.

The host advised us, more than half an hour late, that the teacher would not be able to come. There was no immediate advisory even with the other guest messaging... read more the host asking why our class had not started yet despite it being a few minutes past the start of the allotted time.

This was our favorite Airbnb activity in Spain. There was only 1 other couple in our group. The amount of prep/cooking was very basic and light, which was fine for... read more us. We got a feel for how to create all the dishes without having to individually prep every element.
The host was excellent. Great storytelling, and very friendly. And, the paella and other dishes that we made were very good too.

This was a great experience. We went as a family, and were able to truely enjoy the Paella making process. It was a very enjoyable way... read more to meet others that were in Barcelona on holiday from other countries as well.
