Learn to cook traditional Spanish meal with a focus on using ingredients & techniques you can use at home. It was a fantastic experience and my favorites were learning how to clean a squid (unexpected), make paella, and flip Spanish Tortillas. Highly recommended!

Ricardo is very welcoming and genuine. He taught our group some good techniques and tips for making 6 Spanish dishes including sober salsa, tapas, tortillas and paella. We had a good time and enjoyed the other 5 people that came from various places. It was good fun and great time spent in Mallorca for a 1/2 day things-to-do.
Delicious and fun cooking experience!

Highly recommend this experience. We learned so much about traditional paella making. Guillermo is an absolute pro and a lovely guy. The Masterclass was exceptionally well organised and is a true 'hands on' learning experience . Guillermo is an honest and genuine host. Do this and become a 'Paella Lover' !
