Perfect Paella cooking experience in Barcelona

5.00In a three week tour of Spain, Morocco and Portugal, the Spanish cooking experience, making paella with Milo was among our very favorite evenings. As advertised, he met us in a friendly local bar, walked with us to the market, where he picked out the best seafood for an authentic paella, and then walked with us to his lovely classroom kitchen. Aided by nice pictures of Sangria, all of us pitched in to not only watch, but help prep a beautiful paella for the 16 of us that participated. I had always wanted to do a cooking experience like this and it did not disappoint. It did spoil me for eating others’ paella later in the trip. I highly recommend this experience ideally with this wonderful young chef!

5.00Kako gave us an unforgettable experience. If you’re considering a cooking class, this is absolutely the one to take. We began with a visit to a vibrant local market, full of beautiful ingredients and lively energy. From there, we took a short walk to a bright, spotless kitchen that set the perfect tone for the class. Kako explained each step clearly, not just how to do it, but why it mattered and how it shaped the final dish. That added a whole new level of appreciation to the cooking process. Along the way, we enjoyed delicious tapas, refreshing sangria, and an outstanding paella. What made the experience even more special was the sense of camaraderie within the group—it truly felt like a shared celebration of food and culture.
Perfect experience!
