Paella Cooking Class in Malaga

Paella: A Family Tradition Passed Down Through Generations Paella has been a very special ritual for my family since I was a child. Thanks to the advice and teachings of my grandmothers, I’ve been able to recreate the same dish that I now want to share with you. You’ll learn all the steps and secrets to making an exquisite Mallorcan paella. Traditionally, we make it with fish and seafood, but we can also prepare a vegetarian or meat version, depending on your preferences. The experience takes place in a magical village in the Tramuntana Mountains—Banyalbufar. My father settled here over 15 years ago to create what is now our home and our animals' home, which we call "Ca Tothom," meaning "The House of Everyone." The kitchen is located on the porch, and together with the garden, it creates an idyllic setting for cooking and sharing unforgettable moments.

What are people saying about Spain

Athena_D, Aug 2026

Excellent Adventure!

The chef John was really excellent! The atmosphere was also very contemporary and classy. There was an accident the caused no taxis to be able to get to our ship for two hours after we docked, so my husband and I had to walk over 90 minutes in the heat (got in over 15,000 steps), but it was worth it in the end. I was texted asking where I was when we were about 20 minutes late as we went to the Viator address of the market (really a door near it with some sign that made it seem like we were victims of a hoax, especially as the number Viator had for this resulted in a “scam likely” message telling us to hang up, so Viator needs to correct their info); on Sundays, you meet directly at the cooking class location, and I had that in my phone calendar, but was unfortunately using the Viator app ticket to direct us. Anyway, they waited for us to arrive before starting to cook (others had chopped fruits for the sangria and veggies for the veggie paella), and we lucked out in having two delightful couples to take this class with. John served us cava as soon as we sat down, and there were already tapas on the table. It was all just so relaxed and also informative (like I learned not to use orange juice in white sangria, not that I ever had, but it is interesting to know it just isn’t a good idea). John and his assistant just couldn’t have been nicer. It was a great experience for celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary!

This was so much fun! We...

This was so much fun! We first visited the market where we learned how to distinguish fresh seafood. We headed back to the kitchen where they started off with some delicious appetizers and made sangria from scratch. The class was very interactive and hands on, with plenty of food for everyone. I wish I remembered the chefs names but they were incredible. Must do while in Spain!

Very fun and informative

This is a great way to learn about the Triana market and learn to make a few Spanish dishes! The teachers were funny and helpful and informative, and the whole experience was really pleasant.

Best cooking class

This is the most wonderful cooking class. Marco was so welcoming and engaging. We had a group of 14 people and everyone enjoyed the experience and the food was delicious!! Thoroughly recommend going here! Marco was exceptionally knowledgeable and took time to explain the history and the process before cooking. His approach was enlightening.
