Paella: A Family Tradition Passed Down Through Generations
Paella has been a very special ritual for my family since I was a child. Thanks to the advice and teachings of my grandmothers, I’ve been able to recreate the same dish that I now want to share with you. You’ll learn all the steps and secrets to making an exquisite Mallorcan paella. Traditionally, we make it with fish and seafood, but we can also prepare a vegetarian or meat version, depending on your preferences.
The experience takes place in a magical village in the Tramuntana Mountains—Banyalbufar. My father settled here over 15 years ago to create what is now our home and our animals' home, which we call "Ca Tothom," meaning "The House of Everyone." The kitchen is located on the porch, and together with the garden, it creates an idyllic setting for cooking and sharing unforgettable moments.

5.00From the minute we met Patri was warm and welcoming. We strolled through the village while she shared some interesting facts about Balyanbufar. Then arrived at her beautiful home complete with dag, cats and chickens. Her guidance during the Paella cooking was detailed and relaxed. Everyone could do as much or as little as they pleased. The final result was exquisite, with depths of flavour and freshness you will never find at a restaurant. I would do this again in a heartbeat.
Amazing! If you read this, please book! You won't regret it

5.00If we could give 10 stars we would!! Patri's direction to the meeting place was perfect. She guides you through the history of her beautiful village. She welcomes you into her home and shares her Dad & fur babies. She makes the best Sangria ever! She enriches you with her paella traditions & the full history of paella making. The paella was delicious and experience was unforgettable. We highly recommend this magical experience for you to have. What are you waiting for!
Top day from start to finish

5.00Today we had a great day at Patricia. She has received us very hospitable with Sangria and delicious chorizo and cheese after she previously gave us a tour of the village. She tells you all about the history of Mallorca and the place of Paella in Mallorcan family. Then she coaches you step by step in preparing the Paella. The end result is delightful. Besides good wine, she also had a delicious local dessert with coffee in store. Warm and very involved with the island and the animals of the island. Really nice!!
A real paella experience!

5.00Great experience. Patri not only shares the paella recipe of both her grandmothers, she also talks a hundred times about Mallorcan life. About Banyalbufar, the value of water and taking time for what matters.

5.00This was the highlight of our trip to majorca! Patri welcomed us into her home and village and we loved the tour and local history at the start. The extras like the sangria where she shared her recipe with us and traditional majorcan snacks made it extra special alongside her lovely cats/dogs/chickens. The paella was the best we have ever had and are already looking forward to trying ourselves at home with the emailed recipe and the tips! 100% recommend for anyone visiting the island it is well worth the trip wherever you are staying - by far the best excursion we have booked in the last 4 years of visiting the island. It is worth every penny and thank you for welcoming us into your home.
Paella cooking experience

5.00Wonderful experience!!! One of the most authentic cooking classes I have ever had. The Paella was amazing. Patri did a wonderful job showing us the town, the beautiful views and taking us to her lovely house. She did a great job explaining her paella recipe, and showing us how to make it. Her passion, not just for cooking paella, but in making sure her guests have a wonderful time was clearly evident. This was a very hands on experience that I would strongly recommend this to anyone visiting Mallorca.
