This experience was the highlight of our trip to Madrid! Ángel is a wonderful instructor and shared a lot of knowledge about Spain and the local food culture. It was a very intimate and fun experience. The dishes were simple and delicious, making it approachable for all skill levels. Vegetarian friendly as well! Highly recommend for a date night activity or with a group of a friends!

The class was fine for both adults snd children of 12 years. The location was easy to find and the kitchen was very clean. The market experience was interesting and the cooking instruction was clear. People not used to cutting with knives might need more time

I'm Vincent from Hong Kong. Chef Melisa was wonderful and very friendly. We prepared several delicious tapas, and she shared many funny stories that made the class enjoyable and memorable. It was a great way to learn about Spanish food and culture. Highly recommended!

This was an excellent experience. Our group of four travelers has participated in numerous cooking experiences. This is top two easily. Would recommend it for anyone interested in learning Spanish cooking. We were in the tapas and sangria class. Time flew by as we prepared five “small” plates plus Sangria plus dessert. All four members of our group gave it five stars.

The course was fun, informative and the food was fantastic! Eduardo was excellent with his explanation of what we were cooking, how to cook it and how the food was significant in the Spanish culture.

We loved the entire experience. We especially loved visiting the local markets. Our instructor made the experience fun and we loved experiencing it with people from other countries. The food turned out great!

This cooking class was excellent! We got a brief tour of the market across the street with a lesson on some of the classic Spanish ingredients. As someone who almost never cooks, the recipes and instructions provided allowed me and my friend to make some amazing dishes for our own dinner. Specifically, we made sangria, crema catalana, tortilla, gambas, and chorizo...and I hope I can recreate the recipes at home for myself.
Maureen_O, Jun 2026
This was a wonderful experience. It was fabulous going to the market and seeing all the wonderful produce etc. That was followed by a great experience in our hands on cooking lesson. Very friendly atmosphere. The teacher and the food were outstanding.

Excellent! Great place, great teacher, the whole experience from buying ingredients to eating the paella! So much great information! Very pleased with this experience!
Lisa_D, Jun 2026
This was truly a core memory I will take with me from our travels to Spain. Started off with a trip to the market and then the most amazing cooking class where we made sangria, gazpacho, and seafood paella. Our entire family had so much fun. The food was excellent. Time and money well-spent. Book this...you won't regret it!

We had the best time learning to cook traditional Spanish cuisine. Very hands on and everything tasted so good.
Robert_S, May 2026
We loved this class. Eduardo was a terrific guide to help us cook 6 different tapas. At the end of the three hour hands on cooking lesson, we then ate the food we cooked at a sit down table. What a great experience!

Amazing fun, Chef Teresa was absolutely hilarious and good fun. She made the entire experience so much more enjoyable and the food was really good, surprised I cooked it myself haha

Exceptional class, entertaining and highly informative. Sangria, paella and gazpacho were all incredible- as was the visit to the local market to buy produce.

Amazing Paella Gaspacho and Sangria class with Angel. We highly recommend!!! Angel was fun, knowledgeable and made the whole experience incredible!
Susan_C, May 2026
We had the BEST time in Elisa’s Paella Cooking Class! From the morning market visit to collect all the fresh veggies and seafood for our meal, to the making of sangria, gazpacho and paella, we enjoyed every single moment! The sangria was free flowing and delicious! The fresh ingredients made all the difference in our gazpacho and paella. We enjoyed Elisa’s stories and we learned so very much from her! It was also great to meet the others in the class who were from all over the world! We HIGHLY recommend this class and feel that it’s worth every penny!
Debra_H, May 2026
The morning class cooks paella. Our afternoon class made 6 different tapas dishes and sangria. Our chef Therese was instructive, kept us all on task and helped us deliver a delicious meal. She was personable and had a great sense of humor. Everything was prepped perfectly and we had just enough accountability to feel responsible for the delicious outcome. Definitely recommend.
Brenda_L, May 2026
The market was amazing. Such fresh, wonderful food. Angel was a great teacher and he was so entertaining. I was so happy he gave us the recipes to take home.
Robert_H, May 2026
Our chef, Angel, was wonderful. First we went to the markets to buy the ingredients for our meal. Then we were the chefs for our meal. Delicious sangria, gazpacho and paella. We learned about the food and culture of Spain along the way. I’d highly recommend this cooking class.
Kay_N, May 2026
This was an excellent experience. It is difficult to get to know the local people while traveling but talking with Angel was a treat. He was friendly, professional, down to earth, a great teacher and entertaining.
The kitchen was very clean, super organized and comfortable. Making the food was interesting and of course the food and drinks were great. I loved learning about the Spanish food culture including the wonderful markets.
Jessica_S, May 2026
One of my husband and I’s favorite experiences while we were in Spain, only regret was forgetting the copy of the recipe we used while we were there!
Caroline_C, Apr 2026
Great authentic cooking experience from an experienced Spanish chef!! Get ready to learn a lot & have fun; this is a great way to learn more about Spanish culture and connect with fellow travelers. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone visiting Madrid who has an interest in food and authentic experiences!
Glenda, Apr 2026
Teresa is fantastic!! She is fun, a great teacher and full of knowledge on food and Spanish culture. We started with going to the market to pick out the foods we need for our paella and sangria. Next we make stock and started chopping veggies. Results were us making the most delicious paella I’ve ever tasted.
Highly recommend this cooking class. First class operation!
Laura_M, Apr 2026
Wonderful fun cooking class including trip to the market. The paella we made was better than what I had in a local restaurant! Highly recommend this event.
Katie_S, Apr 2026
This was a very fun and educational experience. After visiting the market to purchase the fresh ingredients for our dishes we returned to the kitchen to prepare our meal. Starting with the sangria as it has to rest for a few hours, then we moved on to the chopping preparations for our paella and our grilled lettuce salad. Angel’s detailed instructions and his explanation of the origin of our dishes added to the success of our meal. I would highly recommend this event when visiting Madrid.
rosemarie_a, Apr 2026
Super nice and immersive experience with a down to earth chef who was willing to share his experiences and love of food. Angel handled the diversity in the group very well and was always ready to assist if required. Going to the market learning about the local produce and farming was truly interesting.
Annemarie_K, Apr 2026
We had such a great time at the cooking class with Angel! He was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience really fun and easy to follow.
The food turned out delicious, and we loved learning new techniques along the way. It was a perfect mix of hands-on cooking and enjoying the final dishes. Highly recommend this experience with Angel!
