Delicious Paella!

We attended the Paella class during our stop in Valencia on the cruise. It was a perfect way to enjoy a day onshore. Megan and Julia did an excellent job accommodating my Spanish-speaking parents and coordinating the timing with the tour and cooking session. The Tapas, wine, and Paella were all delicious. Highly recommended!

Exceptional cooking and wine!

Fantastic experience! The cooking experience was so good, our chef (Benny) did a fab job and it was interactive and really got you hands on to make a paella. The venue is brilliant, with a modern cooking space and areas to eat and drink. Benny kept our glasses charged for the whole event and we had an awesome time. It was o good in fact, the people with us all continued on afterwards for drinks and tapas! One of the best activities we did in Madrid.

The location was different than what I expected but usual for Barcelona area. Once in through the door it felt inviting and safe. Hugo was humorous and made cooking enjoyable. Can’t wait to put into practice all that we have learned with Hugo for friends and family back home.

This paella cooking class...

This paella cooking class in Madrid was one of the highlights of my trip to Spain. The instructor was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Spanish cuisine, sharing not only the cooking techniques but also the history and cultural significance of paella. The ingredients were fresh and high quality, and the step-by-step guidance made the process easy to follow, even for beginners. The atmosphere was warm, fun, and interactive, making it easy to connect with other participants. I learned practical tips that I can actually use at home, and the final paella was absolutely delicious. It was incredibly rewarding to sit down and enjoy a meal we had prepared ourselves. If you’re visiting Madrid and want an authentic, hands-on culinary experience, I highly recommend this class. It’s a fantastic way to learn about Spanish food, meet great people, and create lasting memories. I would definitely do it again!

Spectacular authentic experience

The windmill kitchen is absolutely gorgeous and unique with 2 kitchens and big windows and plenty of eating and gathering space. Our instructor was so friendly and funny and talented. She did and excellent job teaching the class at a good pace and gave other tips to be able to replicate the dishes at home without the high end products that she was using. We had lots of laughs and so much fun cooking and of course eating incredible paella, Spanish omelette and crema Catalana. I would absolutely take another class there!

This was a fabulous...

This was a fabulous cookery experience. I attended with my husband and 16 year old son and we all loved it. It was really interactive but up to you how much you take part. The cooking instructions were incredible, we learnt so many useful tips. We can’t wait to recreate the menu at home. I would highly recommend this experience.

10 Tapas Cooking Class Experience in Madrid with Sangria

JT_J, Apr 2026

Fun and informative.

This is a fun activity suitable for families, friends, couples, and solo travelers. The menu includes 10+ popular tapas, including salmorejo (chilled tomato soup), garlic shrimp, tortilla espanola, and fried calamari sandwich. There is something to accommodate most diets from vegetarian, pescatarian, and carnivores…I would check if you or someone you know is vegan. The format of the class is very informal, with dishes assigned to individuals or teams. Guidance is provided to keep things on course. Together, the class will produce a buffet meal of the 10 or so tapas, then eat together at the end. There is not a lot of demo, nor will you make all 10 dishes yourself, though the recipes will be emailed after. You can also purchase their cookbook, written in both spanish and english, for about 22 euros. You will leave the class full and better informed about the tradition of tapas. The location of the cooking school is also ideal for a post-class stroll through the shop district near Sol.

We absolutely loved this...

We absolutely loved this cooking class! Carlos and Lydia were fantastic—engaging, knowledgeable, and focused on sharing helpful tips and tricks while making sure everyone had fun. It was also great meeting other travelers visiting Sevilla. The fact that they provided the recipes afterward so we could recreate everything at home was a wonderful bonus. Truly a memorable evening!
