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!

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.

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.
