Only 12 people in the...

Only 12 people in the class. We were able to choose how we wanted to participate - cutting veggies or prepping the mussels/shrimp. The chef took us through the steps with lots of detail and passion. We also learned how to make sangria. The result was lovely paella that will make it hard to compare to future paellas - so delicious that it makes me want to not order from other places with the fear of being disappointed. A lovely experience overall.

Delicious paella. Loved sharing this experience with my two kids. They had so much fun. It was so interactive. We enjoyed the quick trip to Boqueria to pick out the ingredients. Loved meeting new people

Intimate Personalized Authentic Night

We felt so lucky to experience this class! Not only was it easy to get to, but both guides were extremely good at communicating and checking in with us to make sure we knew where we were going and reminding us of the event. We definitely felt spoiled and taken care of with the unlimited drinks and appetizers as well as being given tasks and specific direction during the cooking class! It was everything we anticipated and more.

Good lesson, great food!

Manny (instructor) was a great teacher and local guide. The class was small (3 of us) which was helpful while navigating the already crowded market. Manny was great at teaching us about how to pick the best seafood for the paella and what his favorites were. He also gave us historical information about the market and surrounding area. Once we got to the class location, we were able to sit down, cool off, and eat/drink before we got to work. Despite there only being 3 of us, Manny made sure that we were not overwhelmed with tasks. He walked us through each step and gave us pointers. We had a relaxing lunch and great conversation. Manny made sure we had plenty to drink and gave us the rest of the paella but we were stuffed! Things to note: - if you do not like crowds, the market can be a little overwhelming but a great experience. We were not there long. We also had a few minutes to explore. - both the market and the actual location of the cooking class are about 10 minutes away from the meeting point, so be ready to walk. The dessert was also back at the meeting point.
