What are people saying about Spain

Hilda_K, Oct 2026

A Fun Day Cooking!

It was one of our best experiences. Daniel and his team were fantastic. The market experience was great! He guided us step-by-step through the cooking process of paella. He communicated clearly. The winetasting was phenomenal, the cooking experience in a group just excellent. All the little tapas in-between were excellent. It was a very social activity. Highly recommended!

Seville: Paella & Tapas Cooking Class + Triana Market Tour

Kyla_C, Oct 2026

Brilliant experience!

We had a brilliant experience at this cooking class with Maria and Gaia. Maria and Gaia were incredible and we had such a fun time with them! Gaia led our tour and was our assistant during the cooking. She gave us lots of helpful tips about buying in the market. Gaia was kind and funny and went out of her way to cater for the groups needs. The cooking part of the class was equally as fun and was accommodating for all abilities and ages. We made a cold tomato soup, chickpea and spinach dish and a chicken paella. We got to learn traditional ways of cooking and had so much fun! Halfway through the class we even got Sangria that Gaia had prepared (an alcohol free one for kids!) which gave the group an even greater chance to bond! At the end we all sat together to eat our food and the dishes were absolutely delicious! We had generous portions and left feeling very full! Lastly we had a lemon sorbet champagne dessert (alcohol free option also available) which really was a perfect way to end the session. I can’t recommend this enough and it was certainly the highlight of our trip to Seville!

Susan_W, Oct 2026

Loved this experience!

It was great to go to the market and learn about the ingredients we used in the paella. There was more walking than I expected and I got a little tired walking from the market to the cooking site. Or cook/chef was so good! I can’t remember her name but she was excellent!!

Barcelona Paella Cooking Class with Market Visit, Tapas & Sangria

Debbie_Z, Oct 2026

Paella from A-Z

A great way to spend an afternoon making paella and sangria. Lorenzo (our guide) started our class by taking us to the La Boqueria which was a tour by itself. There he showed us how to choose the fish (squid, clams, oysters). After we went to their cafe to prepare our lunch, however first we made some sangria. Once we started the 6 of us all participated in preparing the fish and cooking the paella. While it was cooking we enjoyed conversation and more sangria. Once done we all enjoyed dining in the “fish of our labor”. The class was approx 3 hours. We loved it, it was fun meeting others, Lorenzo (the chef) was friendly and a great teacher. We would highly recommend it when visiting Barcelona.

Madrid: Paella Cooking Class with Bottomless Wine Pairing

H_F, Oct 2026

Perfect activity!

This activity was “perfect”! We were greeted with a warm reception and Spanish Cava. All our stations were laid out and ingredients prepared for the different paellas we were to make. Ben and his team explained every step and answered all questions. As well, they made sure our wine glasses were full and great music kept us entertained. At the end of the cook, we visited other paella stations and smelled their creations. Then we retired to a dining area in the basement to enjoy our work (and appetizers & dessert). Wouldn’t change a thing!

Excellent experience

I decided last minute to attend a cooking class, seeing great reviews about this place. Pamela was super friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraged us to participate in the interactive cooking tasks.

Thomas_G, Oct 2026

The host and Chef were...

The host and Chef were great! We enjoyed the cooking class with our kids ages five and eight. We were a little misled by the menu as we aren’t huge seafood fans and we thought there would be a chicken option on the paella. But overall, it was very enjoyable and we would definitely do it again.

A must do during your visit!

What an incredible experience. Carlota was our instructor for the day and when she said “you are in your home while you’re here” she really meant it. It felt like a group of friends getting together for a meal and we’d do it again. The class was fun, resulted in DELICIOUS food, and Carlota gave amazing cooking tips throughout to really elevate our cooking skills. 100000/10 recommend!

Wendy_S, Oct 2026

The absolute best!!!

If I could give this tour more than five stars, I definitely would! Teresa was absolutely wonderful, and this was one of the best tours we’ve ever taken! She kept the group engaged and shared a wealth of knowledge with us. We started at the market to purchase ingredients we would need for our sangria, gazpacho and paella. It was so interesting to experience a local market and hear the stories of the vendors. Upon returning to the cooking studio, we began our preparations. Everything was very well organized and ready for us to get to work. We were able to prepare our meal from start to finish, and at the end, enjoyed a wonderful lunch. We couldn’t have been more pleased! Thank you, Teresa, for a wonderful experience!!!

Fun and delicious experience!

I traveled with my husband and 2 friends and we decided to join a cooking class after our friends had done some cooking classes in other cities to experience the local food. Loleo did a fantastic job of making us feel comfortable cooking dishes we had never tried our hand at before and would otherwise sound intimidating. The food was fantastic and we also learned about some of the history of the dishes and tips on how to make them work well at home. The cod fish may have been the best fish dish I’ve ever had. It was a very fun experience! Would 100% do it again
