There were 8 of us, so we ended up in a group of our own. The experience itself was lovely and just as described. Eladi’s passion for food and the... read more history of paella was very evident and enjoyable. We enjoyed our evening and would definitely recommend it to others.
Just a side note, if you take the metro to the nearest stop, you’ll have a 15 minute hike up hill to arrive at the location. If that isn’t to your liking, take an Uber instead. Eladi’s directions for finding the location were perfect and easy to follow.
