5.00I booked this last minute and was very pleased with the experience…exactly what I was hoping for and a good value compared to other cooking classes. We enjoyed a quick market tour and then headed to a separate kitchen where we snacked on tapas and learned how to make paella. We had separate stations so each person had an opportunity to work on a part of the paella cooking. Mya did an excellent job teaching us and the final paella tasted great! Glad I signed up for the experience. Afterwards we received a link to the paella/sangria recipes and an invite to stop at our starting point for a complimentary churros with chocolate.
Wonderful food and great chef Luco.

5.00Until you allow yourself to experience it you wouldn’t know what you’d missed. Not only our chef , Kaki, was excellent but the sous-chef -one of the participants - topped the show.
Fun making Paella
