Authentic Premium Paella and Sangria Cooking Class in Barcelona
Overview
Available languages
2 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Nothing screams Spanish Mediterranean louder than Paella. Yet visitors often miss out on the joy of a quality paella. They are lured into tourist traps and served yellow, overcooked rice filled with preservatives and lacking flavour.
Our executive chef became popular among locals when they ran the kitchen at Kaiku restaurant in the fishermen’s neighbourhood of La Barceloneta, facing the sea, where their invention for giving his rices an irresistible smoky aroma was born. We use “The Volcano”, a custom-made “hat” that smokes the paella for a few minutes with sprigs of rosemary adding a touch of flair and the coveted aroma to the dish.
To accompany the experience, we offer the opportunity to learn to make an authentic and quality sangria, and what to look out for when buying one in a bar or restaurant. To go above and beyond, we share local knowledge and advice on Spanish wines - useful tips guests can take home with them after the holidays.

We’ll start with the famous pan tomaquet, cutting all the veggies and preparing the seafood. Then, we’ll move on to the sangria.

5.00The Venue, staff and food were amazing! They all were so friendly and helpful and taught us a lot about making crusty bread with tomatoes., garlic and olive oil as well as really good Sangria and seafood Paella. I also had a foot injury and they were so kind and helpful with where to get it looked at after the class. All around great experience!

5.00The experience was wonderful. The class was held at the flat of Alphonso. Very knowledgeable. We chopped up everything that would go into the sangria and paella. He actually cooked it. But it was nice watching him cook it. We also had gaspocco. I would definitely recommend. It was only 6 of us that made the experience very comfortable.
We had a great time...

3.00This activity was not at all as we expected. The location was moved last minute. The change was billed as an upgrade to a premium experience and location, which it was not. The chef, Martinho, and his helper were engaging and so much fun. All 20+ of us were hanging out and some of us had an opportunity to stir, chop, and mix. The location provided very little protection from the blistering sun. The facilities were inadequate. While I learned a lot about making pallela, not everybody in my party had that opportunity. We were also not provided options for anything other than seafood pallela. As it was, the experience would have been absolutely worth it at 50 to 60% of the price.
Don’t miss this one!
