One of our favorite experiences on this trip! We had a small, but great group. The King of Paella kept it very engaging. This is just the right amount of hands on cooking, learning and eating & drinking. We can’t wait to try making our own paella at home.

Very nice and thorough! We were lucky as we were the only ones there due to low season. Pedro did a great job.
Nicki_G, Jan 2026
My sister and I absolutely loved this experience. Not only did we learn so much about authentic paella and sangria, but we had a wonderful time cooking! The Chef/owner and staff were amazing; I will be sending my parents here when they visit for their anniversary later this year!

What a boutique space and experience for our family! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and well organized. Our family enjoyed meeting other travelers and sharing a meal together. Highly recommend! The sangria, appetizers, and paella were delicious.
Joshua_S, Dec 2025
It was a very cool experience with a lot of interesting information. You learn a nice skill and get to eat and drink with cool people 😎

Be prepared that this paella is an al dente one. I was with a family of 6 adults and two kids. It was fun but I think it took Tony longer to get started since there was a lot of conversation. My shrimps and mussels were not cooked, unless Madrid paella believe that the shrimp and mussels should be undercooked. There was also a sangria class. Wish he had mentioned the contribution of the Arabs having introduced rice to Spain instead of saying that it originated in the 14th century
Alexa_P, Dec 2025
The cooking class was lively, informative, and fun. It was a great way to spend our last night in Madrid with fellow travelers learning the history of paella and the cooking techniques.
Jacqueline_K, Nov 2025
The staff were really wonderful and made the experience both informative and fun. I liked that everyone contributed to making the paella together, rather than each of us making our own individually. And the sangria was also delicious. Definitely recommend for larger groups

My mom and I took this wonderful class and had a great time. They were able to accommodate our vegetarian dietary restrictions, which we were very appreciative of. We made a sangria and paella and got some background about the dishes and relevance to Spain. We also had tortilla and pan con tomate which were delicious. Our instructors were Tony and Yireles and they were amazing. Very friendly and enjoyed conversations with them throughout the class. The facility was well decorated with a great eye for design and detail. Take this class, you won’t regret it!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
¡Muchísimas gracias por tu hermosa reseña! 🥰
Nos alegra enormemente saber que tú y tu madre disfrutaron tanto de la clase y que pudimos adaptarnos a vuestras necesidades vegetarianas para que la experiencia fuera perfecta. ✨
Qué bueno que os gustaron la paella, la sangría y todos los platos que probasteis, así como aprender un poco más sobre su historia y tradición en España. Tony y Yire estarán encantados de recibir vuestros comentarios — ¡fue un placer compartir ese rato tan agradable con vosotras! 🙌
Nos hace muy felices también que el espacio y sus detalles os hayan enamorado.
¡Gracias de corazón por recomendar la experiencia! Esperamos volver a veros muy pronto para seguir cocinando y disfrutando juntas. 🥘🍹😊

Nicely paced cooking class with good information provided. The paella and sangria were good and the company was great.
Luis_S, Oct 2025
Fantastic experience, would absolutely recommend to anyone, and it is a fantastic time and you learn about the history
Lynn_J, Oct 2025
The paella and sangria experience was one of the highlights of our trip. The chef instructors were fantastic and made the cooking experience a lot of fun. Be warned: they offer (free of charge) red and white sangria and shots at the end of the meal so you can get pretty toasted! We were with a fun group and had an absolute blast!
Response from Host, Nov 2025

Nancy_N, Oct 2025
This was a wonderful afternoon cooking with our “soon to be” friends. The hosts were extremely knowledgeable and gracious. Our paella came out great. I need the recipe! I would highly recommend this for a very fun activity in Spain.
MelissaG, Oct 2025
Very professional setting but, also very welcoming. Anthony, our presenter, spoke 3 maybe 4 languages. He made everyone feel at home.

What a wonderful evening! This was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our visit to Madrid. Our hosts and chef were absolutely exceptional—they guided our group through every element of the experience with expertise and genuine warmth.
The sangria was delicious and flowed freely, while the paella (we chose the Traditional with Seafood) was truly exquisite. The cooking instructions were clear and involved everyone in our group, we ALL helped, it felt wonderful (I've been to other experiences where there are so many people that you don't get to do anything, but that was not the case here!), and the ambiance throughout the night was the perfect balance between fun, respectful, and inclusive. The entire evening we enjoyed great conversations, laughter, great drinks and outstanding food.
We were fortunate to share the experience with a diverse and lively group; everyone participated in all the activities, which made the night even more memorable. Carlos, Juan, Paulo, and Aurora have created something special: a beautiful experience where visitors can connect over exceptional food and authentic hospitality. This is an experience we'll treasure for years to come. Thank you!

Carlos, Juan, Paulo, and Aurora will be thrilled to hear that their dedication and warmth helped make the evening so memorable. We’re so glad you enjoyed the atmosphere, the sangria, the paella, and especially the shared experience with such a great group of people.
Our goal is exactly that — to make everyone feel part of the experience and to create an authentic, fun, and welcoming environment.
Thank you for sharing your kind words with us! We hope to welcome you back soon for more cooking, laughter, and good times together. 🥘🍷

Started sharing this experience with my family and ended the night with new friends. Not only Pablo, Pedro and Carlos, but about 10 wonderful people that we shared the cooking and dining experience with. The place was immaculate, the entire experience was top notch, immersive and super fun. Also a great meal and fantastic Sangria.
Thank you. Guys.
We highly recommend this experience.

Awesome experience! We made our own paella and made friends in the process! One of the highlights of our time in Madrid
Ingrid_d, Sep 2025
It was an absolutely amazing experience and the hosts were top class. The highlight of our visit to Madrid.
Dan_Y, Sep 2025
The class size we attended was comfortable (16), very interactive and we learned how to make sangria, seafood paella and chicken paella, and the dessert drink. We all were treated to drink sangria and to eat the paella in a separate dining room. We learned a lot including some history of paella origin. The instructors were well versed and answered all questions. It would have been good if they handed or given a QR code of the recipes at the end of the night. Overall, it was a great evening experience with my wife.
