This was a great class which not only showcased how to make Paella but it also explained the history and the importance of food in Spanish culture. We had... read more a lovely time with Eladi. He was a fantastic host and was very accommodating for my young kids. The food was delicious and the class was small which made the experience really enjoyable.

Book this experience!!! My friends and I were a group of 4 and we enjoyed this experience so much. We appreciated how he started the experience with the cultural history... read more of paella. The cooking, tapa, and sangria making are a group effort, so each person gets a task at a time, which allowed us to enjoy the experience together. In addition to enjoying the fruits of our labor at the end, we made great conversation with new friends that come from all over the world!

This experience is very basic for anyone who has a reasonable background in cooking. The tapas (which was basically old bread scraped with garlic and tomato and a single... read more slice of cheese and jamon), sangria (a tiny amount of fruit cut by a group of 5 collaboratively) and the communal paella cooked over a single burner was not enough food to feed our family (2 adults and 3 children). For this price point, I expect to make individual paella dishes for each person, each participant chopping their own vegetables and has their own burner. The broth was premade - no attempt to show us how to make the broth (which has all the flavor) was made. Maybe we would have been happier if we had unlimited wine during the entire class, but even the sangria quantity was limited to one single glass. The knowledge acquired and food/beverage was not worth the 275USD for 2h, which started late. Would not recommend. The nearby town is charming though.

Initially I registered for another paella cooking class, but it was cancelled a day before the class. I looked online and and was glad that i managed to find this... read more class. It was an excellent class! Anna is a very passionate and articulate teacher, and she shared with us all about Spanish cooking. She prepared a drink Sangria with red wine, a dessert crema catalana ( which involves a blow torch), and chicken, prawn and green bean paella. As there was one participant which was vegetarian, we also had a smaller pan of artichoke paella which was delicious. (so its good that you go with a vegeterian! Haha) This class is interactive as for each step Anna would demonstrate and then someone could volunteer to take over. At the end of the class I purchased the wooden spoons we ate with :) I saw that they also had "pimento la vera" and saffron for purchase, but I had already got that on my trip to Granada, a few days ago.
