Our family of 4 (including 2 small kids) enjoyed the class very much. Eladi was an amazing host with great storytelling, which made the class very special. We stayed in... read more Barcelona for over a week and had paella almost everyday, but the paella we made in the class was definitely the best!

Great experience with Eladi. We had a group of 29 people and Eladi’s space was perfect for it and the paella was delicious.

This was such an awesome experience! My friends and I loved meeting new people while we drank Sangria and ate as much as we liked! They even accommodated for me... read more and had a separate station for me to make veggie paella! I would definitely recommend this if you’re looking for an experience in Barcelona!

great place with a nice atmosphere. Anna told us about traditions and Catalan food. It's a great idea when you want to experience sth more than tourism.

Initially I registered for another paella cooking class, but it was cancelled a day before the class. I looked online and and was glad that i managed to find this... read more class. It was an excellent class! Anna is a very passionate and articulate teacher, and she shared with us all about Spanish cooking. She prepared a drink Sangria with red wine, a dessert crema catalana ( which involves a blow torch), and chicken, prawn and green bean paella. As there was one participant which was vegetarian, we also had a smaller pan of artichoke paella which was delicious. (so its good that you go with a vegeterian! Haha) This class is interactive as for each step Anna would demonstrate and then someone could volunteer to take over. At the end of the class I purchased the wooden spoons we ate with :) I saw that they also had "pimento la vera" and saffron for purchase, but I had already got that on my trip to Granada, a few

I've made paella before many times based on the way my mom learned in Spain >30 years ago, but I'm positive that my paellas will... read more be much better now that I've taken this class. It was also a fun way to meet fellow travelers in Barcelona.
