This 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!

We had a great experience at the Paella making class. It was wonderful learning about the history of Paella and easy to follow along to the steps of the class.... read more All the ingredients are pre-prepared so the experience is mainly around chopping, mixing and stirring, if you're looking for a more laid-back class we would highly recommend this one!

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.

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.
